Patient's question:
Discovered small testicles, small penis, no beard, no Adam's apple. Recently discovered breast enlargement, what should I do??Doctor's answer:
Hello, as you mentioned, long-term supplementation with male hormones is generally used to improve secondary sexual characteristics, but the efficacy is not ideal. Proprionate testosterone (testosterone propionate) or methyltestosterone tablets are commonly taken sublingually. Long-acting testosterone such as testosterone enanthate or testosterone cypionate is more convenient. Chorionic gonadotropin can also be considered. Medications only provide limited help with masculinization but cannot alter female-type breasts. Therefore, for those with breast enlargement, the breast glandular and fatty tissue can be surgically removed.
