I've been dealing with irregular periods for about 7 years nowthey only happen every 6 or 7 months. In an ultrasound, they found out I have polycystic ovaries. I'm worried about how this might affect my health and future. Can you help me understand what's going on and what steps I should take?

I've had a benign carotid body tumor on the left side of my neck for 4 years now, about 30x29 mm in size. I didn't go for surgery and have been managing it with ayurvedic treatment to prevent it from growing. I'm also exploring homeopathy. Sometimes I get palpitations and pain, but only when I have colds or coughs. Should I be worried about these symptoms or consider other treatment options?

Given the tumor size and symptoms, re-evaluation by a head and neck surgeon is advisable despite alternative therapies.

I'm a 25-year-old guy with gynaecomastia and I really don't want to go through surgery. Are there any effective drug treatments that can help reduce it? What options do I have besides going under the knife?

Gynecomastia may respond to medications like tamoxifen or raloxifene in early stages; surgery is the only option for permanent removal in established cases.
