What's the best way to reduce gynaecomastia naturally without surgery Do exercises actually help or is surgery the only option I've heard mixed things and want to know what really works
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
While exercises like cardio and strength training can help reduce overall body fat and potentially improve the appearance of the chest by building muscle, they cannot directly remove or reduce the breast tissue enlargement caused by gynecomastia. Surgery is generally the only effective method for addressing the underlying breast tissue

View allI'm a 21-year-old woman and I've been struggling with PCOS symptoms like period acne and hair thinning. I took meds for a few months to help with my menstruation, and right now I'm using minoxidil 5% mintop eva for hair loss. I've noticed some new hair growth on my scalp, which is great but also more hair on my face, which is freaking me out a bit since I already had some facial hair. I'm not sure if this is from using minoxidil or just my PCOS acting up. My doctor is away for a few weeks and I don't know whether to stop using minoxidil or what to do. Any advice on this? I'm really confused about what's causing the facial hair growth and how to manage it without losing the hair on my head.
It is possible that the increased hair growth on your face is due to the use of minoxidil, as it can sometimes cause hair growth in unintended areas. However, it could also be related to your PCOS, as hormonal imbalances associated with PCOS can lead to hirsutism (excessive hair growth). Since you are already seeing positive results on your scalp with minoxidil, it may be beneficial to continue using it for your hair loss. To address the facial hair growth, you may consider talking to your doctor about adjusting the dosage or frequency of minoxidil application. Additionally, treatments such as anti-androgen medications or topical creams like eflornithine can help manage unwanted facial hair growth in women with PCOS. It's important to discuss these options with your doctor once they are available.

I'm 24 years old and my height is 5.7. I'm really curious to know if it's still possible for me to grow taller at this age. If there's a way to increase my height, could you please explain how it might be possible?
At 24, your growth plates have likely closed, making natural height increase unlikely

I'm dealing with chronic urticaria and I'm wondering if its okay for me to take Allegra or Cetirizine on the day of my embryo transfer and afterwards. Can you advise? I'm kinda anxious about how these meds might affect the process or the embryo itself. What do you suggest I do?
For chronic urticaria, you can take Allegra (Fexofenadine) or Cetirizine. On the day of embryo transfer, you can take Allegra 180mg once daily or Cetirizine 10mg once daily. After embryo transfer, you can continue taking Allegra 180mg once daily or Cetirizine 10mg once daily as needed for your chronic urticaria.
