A Shanghai chest surgeon has gained attention for weighing 150kg despite being a medical professional. Standing at 1.84m tall, he attributes his weight gain over the past decade to the pressures of his job, long surgeries and irregular eating habits. Acknowledging the irony of advising patients on nutrition while struggling with his own weight, he refers to his condition as "stress-induced obesity." Despite knowing health advice, he finds it challenging to apply it to his own life, calling excess weight an "occupational hazard" for doctors.

One of the most common questions patients raise during a liposuction consultation in Singapore is whether the number of incisions matters, and if it affects the overall cost. Because liposuction is a procedure aimed at improving a patient's body confidence by correcting a disproportionate body shape and removing stubborn body fat, unnecessary post-op scarring is definitely something we want to avoid. Dr Ivan Puah, an MOH-accredited liposuction doctor with over two decades of body sculpting experience in Singapore, addresses these questions with transparency. https://www.amaris-b.com/blog/do-number-incisions-liposuction-affect-results-cost #liposuction #incision #cosmeticsurgery

Living with #gynecomastia can take a profound emotional toll on men. It quietly chips away at their sense of self-esteem, leaving many to silently wrestle with depression, chronic stress, frustration, and deep loneliness. Body image struggles lead to relentless self-criticism, and poor self-worth can quietly seep into every corner of daily life. The growing number of men seeking reduction surgeries isn't vanity; it's courage. All gynecomastia consultations with Dr Puah are private and conducted with the utmost sensitivity, because we get it. We get that the emotional weight can feel overwhelming, and far too often, it's carried alone. We're here for you. #gynecomastiasurgery #enlargedmalebreast

Young men in China learned a harsh lesson after developing rhabdomyolysis, a chronic condition that causes your muscle fibres to break down, flooding the bloodstream with toxic proteins that can shut down your kidneys. 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝟭: A 23-year-old went too hard on leg day. He noticed blood in his urine, then stopped urinating altogether. By the time he reached the hospital, he couldn't even walk on his own. 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝟮: A 24-year-old, who had been mostly sedentary, decided to start exercising every day after work, going for 20 straight days, before his body gave out. 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝟯: A 26-year-old man did an hour of high-intensity crunches and leg raises. The next day, his thigh muscles were in extreme pain, and he urinated blood. Dr Ivan Puah, who is trained in sports medicine, advises, "Rest days are not optional; they are essential for muscle recovery and growth. It's important to progress slowly but consistently in your fitness regime. If you notice cola-coloured urine after a workout, get to the ER pronto!"
