Apparently I have man b***s but I'm not fat!?

Question

So yeah, that's it, i get told i have man b***s but im not fat at all, im tallish 180cm weigh 70kg, normal but apparently i have man b***s, im not overly fased by insults but i just kinda think hey that's werid i have man b***s and I'm a guy whoa what the heck. Also i know this sounds rediculous but someone said that guys can get breast cancer and more often than women, obviously it's rubbish but is there any merit to their comment?

Answer 1

Some guys just have a build up of fatty tissue around there ****, if you don't like them try doing chest exercises eg: bench press, peck deck ect not big weights but enough to turn the fat into muscle, if they persist and you don't like em you may need cosmetic surgery...

Answer 2

Sometimes that is not caused by normal increase in body fat but a condition called Gynecomastia.  It's basically the increase in size of male b*****s.  

It's actually very common with about half of males experiencing this to some extent during puberty.  This condition is usually temporary and benign. It may be caused by hormonal imbalance, medication with estrogens or steroidal compounds, or failure of the liver to inactivate circulating estrogen, as in alcoholic cirrhosis.

It can be the first sign of something more serious.  It's best to get a medical evaluation to make sure it's nothing serious.

Pseudogynecomastia is breast enlargement cause by fat deposits.  The only way to find out which is to go to the doctor.

Male breast cancer makes up about 1% of reported breast cancer cases so it's not more common than female.  

The issue you should worry about is that gynecomastia can be a symptom of testicular cancer.

Sorry to hear this, you are about the same weight as my 28 year old boyfriend, he has a nice body , husky, medium frame, bubble butt-BUT, he has been told also that he has b***s? It did not really hit him until he was working out once and noticed nothing was happening with his chest other than they were getting more defined and starting to look more like his sisters nipples! I did not want to hurt his feelings but yeah what the heck, I guess it happens. How old are you and do you feel you have them? Have you tried push ups and what happens?  

Answer 4

Unfortunately it's all in your genes, some men are prone to having fat deposited in that area, so no matter how much weight you lose they won't shrink that much. There is also a condition in men called gynaecomastia, which is linked with hormone levels. But this is usually very pronounced. If you're still worried see your doctor.

As for breast cancer in men, yes it can happen to anyone, regardless of their man boob status. But it is very rare I wouldn't worry too much.  

Answer 5

Whilst man b***s can be the result of being over weight there is also a medical condition that affects some men which causes b*****s to form.  If your concerned you should check it out with a doctor.
