I've had what looks like man boobs for about 10 years now and I'm 22. I read online it might be gynaecomastia since I can feel a hard lump under my nipples when I press them. I've been hitting the gym for 2 months but it's still there. How can I confirm if it's really gynaecomastia and are there ways to fix it without surgery? It's making me a bit depressed thinking about going under the knife

It's possible you have gynaecomastia, which is the development of breast tissue in males. A hard lump under the nipple is a common symptom, and it's often caused by hormonal imbalances. While exercise can help reduce overall fat, it may not directly target the breast tissue itself. You can confirm it with a doctor's examination, and various non-surgical treatments can be explored

I just got my blood test results back, and I'm a little concerned about a few things. My vitamin D level is 12.21 ngml, vitamin B12 is at 176 pgml, and uric acid is 7.6 mgdL. On top of that, my TSH is 9.06. Should I be worried about these levels? What do they indicate, and do I need to make any changes to my diet or lifestyle? Would appreciate any advice you can give!

I'm feeling a bit confused and worried about my thyroid levels. I had a TSH level of 23, but my free T3 and T4 were normal. So, I decided to try the B56 homeopathy drops. At around the fourth month, my TSH improved to 8.4, but after finishing eight months, it's back up to 23. I'm just wondering why it would increase again and if maybe I should consider a different treatment?
