Gynecomastia is not a "have it or don't have it" kind of condition. It tends to occur on a spectrum. Some boys or men develop a small lump under the nipple. This may progress into puffiness around the areolas. Some men may begin to grow excess breast tissue that does resemble the chest of a woman, even with a more substantial cup size. For far too long, boys and men have lived with this condition and worried in silence. Many have tried using exercise, weight loss, and potentially-dangerous substances to correct their breast enlargement.
Please, don't do that. If your breasts are growing larger than seems normal for you, contact your doctor or contact our office. Gynecomastia can create a lot of self-consciousness and embarrassment. That's not a way to live. We can help.
