How do I know if I have Gynecomastia???

Question

I have a pretty flat stomach that is pretty toned but then my man b***s are big. They look so much fatter and then stick out. You can't tell when I have a shirt on but when it is off you can tell. My nipples are like puffy and big most of the time but after I work out or go in the pool or something my I guess you could call them pecs get normal size for a little while and there is not so much fat there. I'm not sure if it is just puberty because I'm almost 15 or gynecomastia. What do u guys think?

Answer 2

Gynecomastia is swelling of the breast tissue in boys or men. It's caused by an imbalance of the hormones estrogen and testosterone. Newborns, boys going through puberty, and older men often develop gynecomastia from normal changes in hormone levels. Less often, gynecomastia is caused by a health condition such as liver disease, low testosterone production or a thyroid problem. Certain medications and illicit drugs that raise estrogen levels also can cause gynecomastia.

Gynecomastia isn't a serious problem unless it's a sign of an underlying health condition, but it can be tough to cope with. Men and boys with gynecomastia sometimes have pain or tenderness in their b*****s and may feel embarrassed or unhappy with their bodies.

In most cases, gynecomastia will go away on its own. If it is caused by medications or illicit drugs, it usually goes away after they are stopped. Gynecomastia is often treated with medications that help balance hormone levels. In some cases, surgery to remove breast tissue is an option.



If you really think you have it, go get tested by your doctor.  Plain and simple.
