I've had man boobs since I was 18 and now I'm 22. At first I thought they'd go away on their own but they haven't, even with regular chest workouts. My nipples are puffy and an awkward shape which makes me think it's gynecomastia. I also have thyroid issues - could that be causing this? What's the best treatment option, medication or surgery?

It's possible you have gynecomastia, and your thyroid issues could be contributing. While it can be common for breast tissue to enlarge during puberty, if it persists into your early twenties, it's important to consult with a doctor. Your doctor can assess your specific situation, including your thyroid condition, and recommend the best course of treatment, which may include medication, liposuction, or surgery

View allHey, I've just turned 26 and I'm a guy. I recently had a health checkup and it turns out my TSH levels are unbelievably high at 96.34. My doctor wanted to double-check, so I got tested again, and now it's 99.46. My latest test results show T3 at 0.90, Free T4 at 0.53, and TSH at 99.46. I'm worried about how this might affect my daily life. I'm not married yet and I'm scared this could mess up my married life in the future. I do a lot of sportscan that help me manage things apart from taking medication? Also, I've started to notice I'm not handling the cold too well, plus my scalp and skin are pretty dry. Feeling a bit lost herehow is this going to impact my life moving forward? Any insights would be really appreciated.
Having high TSH levels can indicate hypothyroidism, which can affect your energy levels, metabolism, mood, and overall well-being. In terms of your future marriage life, high TSH levels can potentially impact fertility and sexual health, so it's important to address this issue. Regular exercise can help to some extent, but medication is usually necessary to regulate thyroid function. For your symptoms of intolerance to cold, scalpdry skin, and other potential hypothyroidism symptoms, your doctor may prescribe levothyroxine, which is a synthetic thyroid hormone. It's important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your thyroid levels and adjust your medication as needed. Making lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, and managing stress can also support thyroid health.
