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've been having some weird symptoms and I'm just trying to figure out what's going on. So yesterday, right after I left work, I started sweating a lot, and then I got super hungry and felt really weak. I bought some peanuts to eat, but swallowing them was tough, you know? I just felt so tired. I managed to drive about a kilometer, but then I wasn't feeling right, so I stopped at a shop and had some mosambi juice. I'm around 68 kg in weight and 54 in height, and I've been swimming like three to four days a week for the last couple of months. My office is about 45 km from home, and I usually drive there. My work hours are from around 10:30 in the morning until about 9 at night. I'm just trying to understand what's going on with me. Any idea what the issue might be?
Your symptoms of sudden sweating, hunger, weakness, difficulty swallowing, and fatigue, especially after a long day at work and a 45km drive, could be indicative of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), dehydration, or exhaustion, possibly exacerbated by your intense swimming routine and long working hours, so consider consulting a md medicine to rule out any underlying conditions and discuss strategies for managing your energy levels and overall well-being.
