View allI'm a 27-year-old guy from Hadapsar Pune dealing with gynecomastia where there's tissue buildup on my right chest and my nipples are swollen. I'm looking for advice on what to do about this and possible treatment options. I'm also concerned about how much surgery or other treatments might cost. Can you help me understand what steps I should take next?
For gynecomastia treatment, options like liposuction or gland excision may be necessary. Costs range between ‚Çπ50,000 to ‚Çπ1.5 lakh, depending on the procedure. Consult a plastic surgeon to determine the most appropriate course

My mom's 57 and she's been on omnacortil 10 mg for the past 8 years because of her skin Ellery disease. But now she's got diabetes and some BP issues, so the doctors said she can't take it anymore. Ever since she stopped, she's really weak, can't eat, and is vomiting. What should we do? Can you help us out?
sudden withdrawal from long-term steroid use (8 years) can lead to severe adrenal insufficiency, and the doctor may recommend a gradual tapering off of omnacortil to prevent withdrawal symptoms, while also managing her diabetes, BP, and skin condition with alternative treatments.
