Patient's question:
I was fat in high school, and now at 24, I've become stronger through exercise. But when I touch my chest, it feels soft and a bit pointed, and my nipples are a bit larger than usual. I searched online for male gynecomastia, but it doesn't seem like that. Below are some pictures. Could you please help me take a look, thank you!Doctor's answer:
Hello, this cannot see the picture. However, gynecomastia in men is not a disease. If it is too large and looks unattractive, plastic surgery can be done. If it is not too large and does not affect daily life, and there are no hard lumps or pain, then generally no treatment is needed. If a definitive diagnosis is required, you can also check the six sexual hormones to see if it is caused by high progesterone or low testosterone.
