I'm really worried about my mom's health. She's been dealing with diabetic hyperglycemia for about 15 years now, and things seem to have gotten more complicated. Just recently, she had pus in her left kidney because of a urinary infection related to her diabetes. I'm really anxious about whether the treatment she's getting is the right fit for her. What should we be looking out for, and is there anything else we should consider?

I'm on day 4 of my cycle and my doctor started me on Siphene 50mg because I had irregular egg sizes last month. Ive been taking it since day 2, but I noticed my period unexpectedly stopped around 3.5 days. Usually, it lasts at least 5 days. Could Siphene be the reason my bleeding stopped earlier this time? Id really like to understand what's going on.

Siphene may have caused a shorter or lighter period in your case, which can sometimes happen as a result of hormonal changes or adjustments. Its not typically known to stop menstrual bleeding altogether, but it can influence the menstrual cycle. If you're concerned, its best to check with your doctor, who may want to monitor your endometrial lining and overall response to the medication.

I'm really struggling with man boobs and it's driving me nuts. It's especially embarrassing when I try to wear fitted t-shirts. Can you give me some tips or ideas on how to deal with this? I really need some advice!

You can start by incorporating regular exercise into your routine. Focus on cardiovascular exercises like running, swimming, or cycling to help reduce overall body fat, including in the chest area. Additionally, strength training exercises targeting the chest muscles, such as push-ups, chest presses, and dumbbell flyes, can help tone and tighten the chest area. Maintaining a healthy diet low in processed foods and high in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins can also aid in reducing body fat. In some cases, medication or surgery may be recommended, but it's best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
