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?

My friend has been dealing with 3rd degree gynecomastia and really wants to avoid surgery if possible. Are there any non-surgical treatments or lifestyle changes that could help reduce it before considering an operation? He's feeling pretty self-conscious and just wants to explore all options first.
For 3rd degree gynecomastia, non-surgical options like lifestyle changes and medication are unlikely to fully resolve the condition, but they can help manage symptoms and potentially reduce the degree of enlargement before considering surgery. Focusing on weight loss, exercise, and addressing potential hormonal imbalances through lifestyle adjustments and, in some cases, medication, can be a good first step. However, surgery is often the most effective treatment for significant gynecomastia, especially at the 3rd degree level.

I'm a 40-year-old woman dealing with non-cancerous myopia of the adrenal glands for the past year. I'm really hesitant about major surgery are there any other treatment options I could explore instead?
For non-cancerous adrenal tumors causing myopia, which is not the usual term for adrenal issues, but more likely a concern about hormonal imbalances or adrenal tumors, the first line of treatment is often observation and monitoring if the tumor is small and not causing symptoms. Minimally invasive surgery, like laparoscopic or robotic adrenalectomy, is often used for adrenal tumors. Alternative treatments may include medications to manage hormone imbalances or, if adrenal insufficiency is a concern, hormone replacement therapy
