Q: a man 26 year old with bmi of 26.1 , but does not have erection good enough to have an intercourse.doc suggested mildfil 5mg( drug) but doesn't help.

Cause?: If a younger man is having ed and a trial of medication has failed, i would suggest that a more in depth evaluation by a specialist should be performed. Good luck.

Q: i have a lean body...i am 28 years old man..my bmi is 22.45..but my tummy is lilltle bulging...i don't think its fat ...how to reduce my tummy?

Tummy bulge: Is the bulge loose when u tighten abdominal muscles? Abdominal crunches, core strengthening exercises, walking briskly, water aerobics combined with healthful diet (lean proteins, good fats, low-fat dairy, low glycemic carbs—fruits/veggies/whole grains) should help flatten the abdomen.

Q: if a 20 year old man has gynecomastia,will it get cured itself or will it require surgery and i have man boobs,when i press them i feel no pain but my bmi is around 22.9 so can it be gynecomastia or is it just due to fat?

: I would not attribute man boobs to fat if the BMI is as you say. When it is linked to pubertal changes it usually disappears within 2 yrs. There are emerging non-surgical treatments if it is persistent breast tissue. An exam by your doc or breast surgeon would be your next step in deciding your options.

Q: i just turned 20 in august.since puberty my bmi has had always between 26 to 27.4 months ago i started to excercise and at present my bmi is 22.9 but my man boobs are the same as they were before excercise.should i go for operation or wait a while?

: I would consult with a breast surgeon/cosmetic surgeon about your options. They may have a better sense of what is going on after exam and be able to discuss non-surgical and surgical options.

More than lipids: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, the single most important issue is your weight and you need to reduce it through diet and exercise. Reducing weight will address lipids and blood pressure. Wish you good health!
