protonix

Avatar m tn Slight gynecomastia, fit and healthy and its noticeable. I visited the doctor about lumps behind the nipples, and got ignored basically. I would like to go again, but am afraid i will be treated the same way. Is there anything i can demand, or can i bypass the GP and see a specialist?
Avatar m tn When i come to know that this is due to enlargement of breast tissue (Gynecomastia), i spoke to my parents about surgery. But they are scared and they said that try to reduce my weight rather than going for surgery option. In another 2.5 months i am getting married. For your information, i have high sex drive (that mean very often have intention of fantasizing about girls, watching porn, playing with my ****, masturbating, few times had protected sex with masseuses.
Avatar f tn I take Protonix to control my gerd. An allergist recommended this and it does seem to make a difference. Does anyone else take these types of meds to control their gerd and, ultimately, help with asthma? I cannot get Protonix any longer through my health insurance and was wondering if someone took something else as effective. Prilosec and Nexium do not have as good as effect as Protonix for me. Thanks.
Avatar f tn ” “ The causes of the gynecomastia can result as a side effect of numerous medications and drugs of abuse, for example: Corticosteroids and anabolic steroids. Antibiotics. Herbals like dong quai, tea tree oil, and lavender. Opioids (narcotic drugs) Estrogen (including those in soy products) Heartburn drugs.” https://www.medicinenet.com/gynecomastia/article.
Avatar f tn Try starting counseling as well for the depression and Gynecomastia. The gynecomastia leads to body disturbances for males especially at a young age. This can be causing a big part of the depression. Also talk to the health care provider about weight and see if this could have something to do about the low testosterone levels.
Avatar m tn I'm 25 years old, and I have had gynecomastia (I'm not sure if it has come and gone or I just go a long time forgetting about it) since I was a teenager. I remember my pediatrician dismissing it when I was in school. I also remember getting it looked at again, either it left and came back, or I just forgot about it until my anxiety problems started, when I was 19 or 20.
Avatar f tn Hello and welcome to our site and forum. I agree with Jack650's comments. This is likely gynecomastia and you can read more about it here https://www.webmd.com/men/what-is-gynecomastia#1 Please let us know your thoughts on this information.
Avatar m tn If your hormonal changes are not corrected, you may have an increased risk to develop testis cancer (for which you may want to have regular visits with your doctor), more than the possibility that there is already testicular cancer responsible for the gynecomastia and other changes. Discuss things with your doctor.
Avatar m tn I went to the doctor and then all of this started. I am a 25 year old male 280lbs and I used to smoke cigarettes and marijuana. I started having erection problems about 4 years ago. It was once in a while not all the time. Now it is still the same situation. I can masturbate with no problem I get erections when I am asleep I dont know how often but my girlfriend and i checked a couple of times I get morning wood sometimes but not always like before. I take viagra sometimes.
Avatar m tn Hello! I am 25 year old male who looks like 15-17. I've had gynecomastia since i was 15 and also havent grown since that age. Tbh my body havent really changed at all. My bones didnt grow larger or increase of muscles though i trained alot and went through a mandatory 2 years of national service. I still look very young and feel very depressed because of this.I researched about this online and found about hypogonadism. Is that the case or am i suffering from something else? Thank you!
Avatar m tn He specializes in cosmetic and migrane surgery. I had an exam with him last week and he also thought that i have Gynecomastia. The chances of a male my age having breast cancer are slim to none he said but we decided to monitor it for one more month to see if it gets any smaller or starts to go away...if not we will be removing the lump at the end of May.
Avatar m tn When i come to know that this is due to enlargement of breast tissue (Gynecomastia), i spoke to my parents about surgery. But they are scared and they said that try to reduce my weight rather than going for surgery option. In another 2.5 months i am getting married. I am always worrying about how can i tell this to my future wife after marriage ? is there any possible ways to get rid of this problem ? Can reducing my weight to 66 kg through exercises, following GM diets help me ?
Avatar m tn Overweight and obesity are potential causes of gynecomastia, and the excess fat actually increases estrogen levels. Making better food choices to help reduce your body weight may help decrease breast size. Fill your diet with low-calorie, nutrient-rich foods to help reduce your calorie intake and promote weight loss. Good choices include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nonfat dairy foods and lean sources of protein such as poultry, lean red meat, seafood and beans.
Avatar n tn The only real way to get rid of true gynecomastia is with surgery and if there is an untreated underlying cause it can grow back even after surgery.
Avatar m tn The surgery is quite expensive and I would like to avoid it if possible. I have been researching and found there are pills that can help reduce the Gynecomastia. Please advise if that is a safe route to take.
Avatar f tn Hi from what I understand protonix is an rx while prilosec is over the counter meds...... so I do believe that the protonix is stronger.I am not a dr, just going on what I do know, I know both r PPI and work much the same way.....Ur dr should be able to say y he changed ur meds...everyone is different and react to the meds differently....maybe bcuz the prilosec dtopped working instead of changing meds he should check to see y u r making so much acid. I have noticed mine cycles....
Avatar m tn 5 mg capsule every other day for 5 years and I am very pleased with the results. When I developed gynecomastia (which is minor and I ignore) I lowered the dose of AVODART to one twice a week which is 8/month (from 15/month). AVODART has a long half life. Will 8/month still work? I wrote to GLaxo who make Avodart and they said what you said "ask your physician". My physician is very busy and I don't want to waste his time.
Avatar m tn m not getting relief with chiropractic care or anything else for that matter, I started thinking about medication and side effects. The protonix s the only thing that could possibly be the culprit. I went off of it two days ago, took omaprazole instead, and have had a 50% reduction in the pain. Has anyone else experienced this. I am reluctant to mention it to the doctor because I'm afraid he will dismiss it. I want to be sure before I talk to him.
Avatar n tn i m 40 years of age and recently recovered from TB disease and i took anti TB medicenes for 14 months after using these medicenes i have male boobs is it result of those medicenes i am average body type kindly help me and solve my problem and tell how i can loose my boobs fat
Avatar n tn Hi, I went to a Mastologist to see if I had gynecomastia, since my nipples appear puffy, but they aren't hard, the nipples themselves are soft, and after I went to the consultation, I was told that it's not gynecomastia, and it's only fat. But my question is, can just fat cause the nipples to be puffy like it would appear if it's gynecomastia?. Additional information: I'm 18 years old and was overweight at around 12 years, when it appeared the puffy nipples.
