Question 1

I'm a bit worried because I had COVID about three weeks ago, and my doctor suggested spirometry exercises for my lungs. But I've noticed that when I do spirometry for about 2 minutes, my SpO2 levels drop to like 92, 93, or 94. If I wait for 5 minutes after that, it goes back up to around 98 or 99. I also tried a 6-minute walk, and my SpO2 seems to stay around 96 to 98 during that. Is it normal for spirometry exercises to drop my SpO2 so much? Just for reference, my chest CT score was 12.

Question 5

I'm dealing with gynecomastia and just got back from the doctor. The tests say I have mild bilateral gynecomastia. I'm curious if there's a natural way to treat this. If surgery is the only option, how much would that cost? Would love some guidance here.

Accepted Answer

Mild bilateral gynecomastia can be addressed through natural methods, such as weight loss, exercise, and hormonal balance, but results may vary; surgical options, like male breast reduction surgery, can be more effective, with costs ranging from 50,000 to 2 lakhs (approximately $650-$2,600 USD) per breast, depending on factors like location, surgeon's expertise, and hospital fees.
