Conditions
Gynaecomastia
Ask any teenage boy if he’d like a pair of breasts for the day and the response will probably be a resounding “yes!” This will usually be followed by an enthusiastic and all too detailed account of how the day would pan out with his new bosoms. But for teenage boys whose physical appearance really is defined by this curvy feminine feature, the embarrassment far outweighs the novelty. Gynaecomastia (more commonly known as ‘man boobs’) is a common condition where tender breast tissue grows under the nipples. It is usually caused by an imbalance of hormones during puberty and usually disappears without treatment within a couple of years. ‘False gynecomastia’ is when men and boys develop breasts as a result of too much fat on their chest, which is usually helped by losing weight, through a combination of healthy eating and regular exercise.

At the time online I read it go away in next year or 2, but 4 now and I hate taking of my shirt, My cheast area has a slight female shape and my nipples are very large. I don't want them as soon I be going to collage in sept, Will it go soon (with in the next year) or is better to get surgery?

Hi, when I was 19 I was diagnosed with a rare skin condition called lichen-planks. The only treated that helped was to be on the strongest steroids the doctor could prescribe. I was only supposed to be on the steroids for 1 month, but as my condition persisted, I was on them for closer to 6 months. As a result of this, I put on a great deal of weight! I am now 28, and I work out intensely 5 days a week. I would describe my physiche as quite muscular and I am generally very fit. However, no matter what I try I can not gwt rid of my man boobs or tone up my stomach area. I am convinced that this is due to the after effects of the steroids! Can anyone help me as I am so frustrated?

I am 30. I have always had man boobs but have always considered myself to be quite fit. I have hard lumps behind each nipple, which makes them look puffy. In cold conditions they stand erect. I have always felt so self contious about them and hardly ever walk around without a shirt on. I feel to embarassed about my man boobs and i just want a normal looking chest. I have been too embarassed to even see the doctor about it untill about 2 years ago. What can i do about this? I have been to a doctor and he has confirmed it to be Gynaecomastia. How do i take it further.? Please help Any advice or contact numbers would be greatly appreciated
Hi, im 15 and think im a "victim" of this male breast occurance. Iv had it since roughly about 12 years old. When it first came, the area around my nipples were also puffy: almost as if built up fat. Thankfully now the case is less severe. The area around my nipples shall i say is almost completely flat. I don't understand why i still have them, by now i would have expected it to disappear. I am skinny and have even tried exercising. When i wear my school jumper, people dont notice my flat chest because of my puffy nipples imitating that i have "Man Boobs". Iv tried pushups, situps but didnt work. My current plan is to become sporty. I have been participating in weekly skiing every Friday but i also have an active schedule duering weekdays filled with band practice etc. I dont eat alot of food. Not enough i would think. I would like them to vanish before my childhood teen years is over. im unable to participate in the normal teenage joyments experienced by a natural male.

hi im gareth im 14 but i have like man bboobs the doctors said that isnt normal but i just want rid can u help me please i have no self esteem for my self and its ruinig my life please help
hi im normal weight but have man boobs. i have been to the doctors about it and they say its just fat tissue and and if i were going to go forward with surgery then they would only need to make an insision (cut) around my nippe. i just wanted know if the scarring would be very visible if so would Areola Repigmentation cover the scar.
i am 16 and have had man boobs since i was smaller. i am unsure whether there are due to hormonal imbalance or because of too much weight. due to feeling uncomfortable with them and having low self esteem, i lost quite a lot of weight, but still am unsure if they have gone done or not. could you please help me understand more about them, as i feel very down sometimes and consider surgery as an option. they're not as big as they used to be which is reasuring. are there any tips on how to reduce them further?thanks.
