Gynecomastia is not a disease says doctors of Panacea Hospital

Common disorder of the endocrine system is known as Gynecomastia, which makes male chest looks like woman’s breast. This disease affects almost half of the world population. Most of these cases start in puberty due the imbalance of sex hormones and other cases involves side effect of some medication, anabolic steroids, alcohol etcetera. Good news is, any age is perfect to undergo the operation to get rid of it, and you just need be emotionally stable for it.

The root cause behind Gynecomastia is fat and a combination of breast tissue that most of the doctors have to deal with today. The surgery can be done two ways, one involves the liposuction and the other one is done by cutting out excess glandular tissue. The results are permanent and can be seen clearly after the surgery, even the scar remain hidden under the nipple.

Although this hormonal imbalance is not hazardous for the person having it, rather it’s more of a psychological disturbance for them, which usually lowers their confidence to deal with rest of the world and live a normal life. People who face this problem in India usually don’t pay heed to it and they learn to live with it as it is. They also don’t go for the surgery due to the lack of knowledge regarding the same.

About Diabetes

Diabetes (also called diabetes mellitus) is a condition in which the level of glucose in blood shoots higher than the normal limits. This can either be because of lower insulin production in the body or an inappropriate responding of cells towards insulin. Both these reasons can occur together also and may lead to a more severe condition. Diabetic people tend to experience polyuria (frequent urination), polydipsia (increased thirst) and polyphagia (increased hunger).

Diabetes has many other symptoms also which include weight gain, unusual weight loss, fatigue, bruises that do not heal numbness and male sexual dysfunction.

Panacea Hospital- Diabetes

Diabetes can be of three types:

Type 1 – When the body does not produce insulin

Type 2- When the body does not produce enough insulin leading to improper functioning

Gestational diabetes – This happens to women during pregnancy

Treating diabetes

Panacea believes that all kinds of diabetes are curable. The first and foremost step towards treating diabetes is heeding your diet. Diabetics should take extra care of what and what not to eat. This will help in reducing blood sugar levels and also getting rid of the various symptoms of diabetes.

Another important way to reduce blood sugar is by exercise. Starting with a 30 minute moderate exercise like walking is perfect. This is a safe and easy way to rid of the all the problems that come with diabetes.

Panacea believes that if the situation is not controllable by the above methods, then one should go for medication. Depending upon the type of diabetes one has, he is prescribed appropriate medication. In many cases, it includes injecting insulin in the body which, thus, helps in reducing blood sugar levels.
