I've had gynaecomastia for about 2 years now and I'm really not keen on surgery. Are there any other ways to reduce male breasts without going under the knife?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, several non-surgical options can be used to reduce gynecomastia, including lifestyle changes, hormone therapy, and certain medications. These methods can be effective for some men, particularly those with mild symptoms or whose gynecomastia is primarily due to excess fat or hormonal imbalances.

Given your history of previous shin bone injuries, it's essential to take this injury seriously and follow a proper recovery plan. *Immediate Action* 1. *Stop activity*: Avoid putting weight on the injured leg or engaging in any physical activity that may exacerbate the injury. 2. *Apply RICE principle*: - Rest: Give your leg a break and avoid activities that aggravate the injury. - Ice: Apply ice packs to the affected area for 15-20 minutes, 3-4 times a day. - Compression: Use an elastic bandage or compression wrap to help reduce swelling. - Elevation: Elevate your leg above the level of your heart to reduce swelling. 3. *Pain management*: You can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) to help manage pain and inflammation. *Medical Attention* Consider visiting an orthopedic doctor or a sports medicine specialist for a proper evaluation and guidance. They may recommend: 1. *X-rays or imaging tests*: To rule out any fractures or other underlying conditions. 2. *Physical therapy*: To help improve mobility, strength, and flexibility in the affected leg. 3. *Customized rehabilitation plan*: To ensure a safe and effective return to sports. *Recovery and Prevention* 1. *Gradual return to activity*: Once cleared by your doctor, gradually return to football and other physical activities to avoid re-injury. 2. *Wear proper gear*: Always wear shin guards and other protective gear during football games and practices. 3. *Strengthen your legs*: Engage in exercises that strengthen your leg muscles, particularly the anterior tibialis muscle, to help prevent future injuries.

I'm trying to figure out what's best for my dad who's been dealing with Type 2 diabetes for about 20 years now. We found these ayurvedic tablets, IME9 and BGR34, made by Indian Labs, and are wondering which one might be better. My dad's on insulin and had bypass surgery 8 years ago. Any advice on whether either of these tablets could be helpful?
Rather than depending on ayurvedic medicine better to continue Insulin
