View allI'm noticing that my body always feels warm and seems to emit heat, even though I don't have a fever. My urine is also warm. This has been going on for quite a while. Any ideas on what might be causing this or how I can address it would be really appreciated. I've been diagnosed with low vitamin D and B12 levels and am currently taking supplements for those.
Your persistent bodily warmth, heat emission, and warm urine without fever could be related to various factors, including hyperthyroidism, hormonal imbalances, or increased metabolism, and it's good that you're addressing low vitamin D and B12 levels, but consider consulting an endocrinologist to rule out underlying conditions, and in the meantime, stay hydrated, avoid spicy foods, and dress comfortably to manage your body temperature.

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.
