My prolactin levels are at 470 when the normal range for men is between 8-16, and my testosterone is low at 1.41. Should I be considering surgery for this or can medication help? If meds are the way to go, how long would it take to get my levels back to normal?

I'm a university student and I've noticed disc-shaped lumps under both nipples on my chest, with the left one being slightly larger. It's causing me a lot of distress and embarrassment. Can this be treated with medication or is surgery the only option?

Pubertal gynecomastia often resolves on its own, but persistent distress may need surgical correction; medication has limited effect once gland is fully developed.

I'm thinking about taking menabol tablets to help with my weight because my trainer suggested it at the gym. I've always been on the leaner side, and I'm curious if it's safe for me to use. Could you also let me know how many tablets I should take each day and the best times to take them?
