    Amir comes to see Dr Christian with a case of gynaecomastia (man boobs) but with the added embarrassment of lactation, which means that he is producing breast milk from his nipples. The condition is uncomfortable and embarrassing, and Dr Christian suspects that a problem with the pituitary gland might be to blame, producing too much prolactin, a milk hormone. Amir heads off to see an endocrinologist for further tests, which confirm that he has a benign tumour on the gland, that should be treatable with hormone treatment.
