My friend has been dealing with 3rd degree gynecomastia and really wants to avoid surgery if possible. Are there any non-surgical treatments or lifestyle changes that could help reduce it before considering an operation? He's feeling pretty self-conscious and just wants to explore all options first.

For 3rd degree gynecomastia, non-surgical options like lifestyle changes and medication are unlikely to fully resolve the condition, but they can help manage symptoms and potentially reduce the degree of enlargement before considering surgery. Focusing on weight loss, exercise, and addressing potential hormonal imbalances through lifestyle adjustments and, in some cases, medication, can be a good first step. However, surgery is often the most effective treatment for significant gynecomastia, especially at the 3rd degree level.

I'm really concerned about my father. He's diabetic and took Glycomet GP 2 Forte for about 25 days. Then, out of nowhere, his sugar levels dropped drastically. We saw a doctor who told us to give him sweets, and that seemed to help, bringing his levels back to normal. The doctor checked his kidney, liver, heart, and blood pressure, and everything seemed fine. But then at night, he's been feeling strange. He gets this heat in his chest, pain, a metallic taste in his mouth, tension, and sometimes he wakes up suddenly. We've consulted both a general medicine doctor and a diabetes specialist, but we're not sure why he's experiencing these symptoms. Any idea what's going on?
