Patient's question:
Hello, doctor. I am a male, and I am 23 years old. I remember that my chest did not develop during my puberty, and even now that I am an adult, my chest still looks like that of a young girl who has just started developing, slightly protruding but without prominent nipples, which are pointed in shape. Could you please tell me if this condition is difficult to treat?Yesterday, I had tests for prolactin and growth hormone, and I heard that further tests on the pituitary gland are also needed. If there are problems with hormones or the pituitary gland, is it difficult to treat? Will it improve? Will surgery be required? Thank you, doctor!
Doctor's answer:
From your symptoms, it is considered that it may be related to elevated prolactin or estrogen levels. It is recommended to undergo further examination with a brain MRI. If a pituitary tumor is found, surgical treatment may be necessary.
