hormone therapy gynecomastia

A surgical consult would be best to sort out what exactly you are dealing with. Doesn't sound like gynecomastia to me. With gynecomastia you will present with full breast tissue just like a woman, not a lump.

If your hormones are messed up it can be corrected with hormone replacement therapy. If you have too much of a certain hormone, I suppose that can be treated, but I don't know exactly how. Whether the therapy is short term or long term depends on the person and the problem.

I've been wondering if whether or not as a younger child in early puberty I had a little bit of a hormonal imbalance. I seem to have wider hips than most males and bonafide breast nub development. I was wondering if this is a concern for me presently because I was thinking of getting cosmetic gynecomastia-correcting surgery at some point, but I don't want any reason for my body to grow them back. I have pictures that I will gladly PM. Thank you!

Slight gynecomastia, fit and healthy and its noticeable. I visited the doctor about lumps behind the nipples, and got ignored basically. I would like to go again, but am afraid i will be treated the same way. Is there anything i can demand, or can i bypass the GP and see a specialist?

I have been recently been diagnosed with an enlarged breast bud or possible gynecomastia pending a hormone test that is only on the left side. I took a blood test and I am waiting for the results. It is testing my random testosterone, cortisol, estradiol, dhea levels and my hepatic profile. I have no problems with my testicles no lump, pain, swelling, heavy feeling nothing, except above my left testicle the vein is more pronounced.Kind of feels like a "bag of worms".

I am a 25 year old male about 100 pounds overweight not really active and have a sedentary job. I have been having many symptoms of low testosterone including ed and gynecomastia. I recently took a hormone test and the results were: Dhea(NL) 458ng/DL Ref range142-1410 Testosterone, total (DSL) 346Ng/DL Ref range 190-1037 Estradiol (DSL) 32 PG/ML None given Cortisol 14.

Hi, * Erectile dysfunction- The fact that you wake up with erections could mean that your hormone levels are normal enough. If you have difficulty sustaining or having an erection consciously, it could be that you are just creating undue stress for yourself, with not very good outcomes. So avoid stress. * Infertility- So no infertility. Evaluate cause of miscarriage. * Decrease in beard and body hair growth- Always been that way, or developed body hair loss recently?

Hi, I went to a Mastologist to see if I had gynecomastia, since my nipples appear puffy, but they aren't hard, the nipples themselves are soft, and after I went to the consultation, I was told that it's not gynecomastia, and it's only fat. But my question is, can just fat cause the nipples to be puffy like it would appear if it's gynecomastia?. Additional information: I'm 18 years old and was overweight at around 12 years, when it appeared the puffy nipples.

but then i came 2 know, that breast cancer very, very rarely happen in males, so i thought it is gynecomastia and will get away during course of time. however they r not. i guess i also have hormone problem, as even though i am 20, i am not muscular and i have a very sparse facial hair. is there any link of this with these lumps, or are these REALLY symptoms of cancer. i am about to approach docter, just needed an opinion from an expert.

t think your problem has anything to do with breast cancer,but it could be a condition called Gynecomastia that usually occurs in teenage boys,caused by hormonal imbalance.However,adult men could have this condition too,when they have a high level of estrogen that promotes glandular tissue growth. Gynecomastia could also be caused by taking certain prescribed medication, which could have steroid properties or by using illicit drugs.Heavy alcohol consumption can also cause the condition.

I am 74 years old and have been on Hormone Therapy for 24 years. My new doctor had advised me that she will not continue my prescription because she in uncomfortable to prescribe to a woman over 65 years of age. I think that is my decision to make.

I was diagnosed at age 49 in May, 2007 with Stage II, 3 nodes positive. I had 4 rounds of A/C and 4 rounds of Taxol followed by 33 rounds of radiation. My doctor now wants to put me on hormone therapy. I am premenopausal but haven't gotten my period since July due to chemo. She won't put me on Tamoxifin because of a past history of TIA several years ago. She said I would be at too high a risk for stroke on it.

I have been told from the start that with a lumpectomy I would need radiation. I found out later about the hormone therapy. I want to know if this is standard of care for my situation. I had a 1cm lump including DCIS and ILC. My margins were 6mm, 1cm, 5cm, 6cm. The ILC was in a linear pattern and low nuclear grade. 4 of 4 nodes were negative for cancer. I am ER+ 100% and PR+ 90%. I am HER2 negative. I was told my cancer was caught very early and I should be OK.

Hi sorry hormone therapy will not help at all , there are no pills or cream to make your penis any bigger , take care ,

A Radiologist will read the images and determine if it is gynecomastia or something else. It could be hormone related. Sometimes medications can cause gynecomastia.....certain antidepressants, cimetidine, antiandrogens, diazepam, digitalis, marijuana, and certain steroids. At your age, it could also be an increase in hormones..... I think seeing a specialist is a good suggestion, for your peace of mind!

After consultation and research myself it would point to being gynecomastia(?) however i failed to mention there is a history on my dads side of the family of cancer. I was wondering if you could offer any opinion on the matter, whether genetics play much of a role and whether it is possible of someone my age/gender to get breast cancer - also taking into account that cancers of this type are painless(?) and often show other symptoms (discharge etc).

Gynecomastia is the unfortunate side effect of having Epilepsy. It's caused by the hormonal changes occurring during frequent episodes of epileptic seizures. This link will add more info about this case: http://sciencelinks.jp/j-east/article/200022/000020002200A0669157.

Overweight and obesity are potential causes of gynecomastia, and the excess fat actually increases estrogen levels. Making better food choices to help reduce your body weight may help decrease breast size. Fill your diet with low-calorie, nutrient-rich foods to help reduce your calorie intake and promote weight loss. Good choices include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nonfat dairy foods and lean sources of protein such as poultry, lean red meat, seafood and beans.

If you have low level of testosterone you may take replacemtnt therapy. Doctor can easily treat you. Side by side, you can do yoga therapy as an adjunct therapy. Google 'Yoga therapy for normalizing hormonal balance". Do those postures regularly along with the hormonal therapy.Combined therapy will hasten your recovery.

For one, it could be Gynecomastia which is a benign disorder caused by hormone imbalance in young males, due to puberty. Gynecomastia gland can bind the nipple to the muscle tissue causing the nipple to invert and become painful. It could also be an infection, a cyst or other benign growth.

I have recently been diagnosed with unilateral gynecomastia ( I thought I had male breast cancer). I have read that bilateral gynecomastia could be a sign of testicular cancer, but I have unilateral. I have no family history of testicular cancer no lumps, consistency is the same as is size. No other symptoms. Sometimes the epididymis on the left testicle is a little bigger than the one on the right. I am not infertile.
