Question 1

my nipples look puffy most of the time but when I take cold showers they appear normal my testosterone levels are fine and I really don't want surgery is there anything else I can do about this

Accepted Answer

Puffy nipples, especially if they fluctuate with temperature changes and you've ruled out underlying conditions like gynecomastia, are likely related to hormonal fluctuations or temperature sensitivity. If you don't want surgery, you can try lifestyle changes like a healthy diet, targeted exercise, and stress reduction to see if they help minimize puffiness

Question 3

I'm really worried about my wife who's 15 days pregnant. Her TSH level is at 4.59 and I'm not sure if that's normal during pregnancy. If she starts taking medicine for it, could there be any negative effects after the pregnancy? Could you please advise on what's best for her health?

Accepted Answer

Your wife's TSH level of 4.59 is slightly elevated, but during pregnancy, the normal TSH range is wider due to hormonal changes. For pregnant women, the normal TSH range is: First trimester: 0.3-4.5 mIUL, Second trimester: 0.5-4.6 mIUL, and Third trimester: 0.8-5.2 mIUL.

However, some studies recommend that the upper limit for TSH during pregnancy should be 2.5 mIUL
