I'm thinking about taking Glutone tablets, but I don't have a prescription. Is it okay to start this without consulting a doctor first? Im just wondering if it's safe or if I should be worried about any side effects. Would love some advice on this!

I've had gynecomastia under just my right nipple for the past 13 years it stays the same size but hurts when I press it. Does ayurveda offer any treatment options that don't involve surgery?

For gynecomastia, Ayurveda may offer herbal treatments or massage therapies to reduce breast size, but surgery is generally more effective if the condition persists.
