      Cholesterol

      By Drewdude · Posted

      Hey. In December 2024 I had my cholesterol checked. When I got the results they all said ‘normal no action required’. However I checked them again this week and it turns out my hdl is 5.5 and my ldl is 4.6. My non hdl is 1.3.  I don’t uunderstand why my docs didn’t contact me about this as it’s high isn’t it!  can anyone help stop my ha with regards this

      Strange nipple question

      By xijof · Posted

      I don’t think it’s necessarily a weird question. A tiny amount of clear fluid appearing only when you squeeze very hard can happen, but nipple discharge in men is something worth mentioning to a doctor, especially if it’s new or changes over time. Since you’re saying it’s been the same on both sides and only happens with strong squeezing, that sounds different from spontaneous discharge. I’d avoid repeatedly checking or squeezing them, since that can irritate the area. I was reminded of products from a boob covers factory, but that’s obviously unrelated to the symptom itself. If it ever happens without squeezing, becomes bloody or cloudy, occurs on only one side, or you notice a lump or skin changes, I’d get it checked promptly.
