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?
When i come to know that this is due to enlargement of breast tissue (Gynecomastia), i spoke to my parents about surgery. But they are scared and they said that try to reduce my weight rather than going for surgery option. In another 2.5 months i am getting married. For your information, i have high sex drive (that mean very often have intention of fantasizing about girls, watching porn, playing with my ****, masturbating, few times had protected sex with masseuses.

“ The causes of the gynecomastia can result as a side effect of numerous medications and drugs of abuse, for example:
Corticosteroids and anabolic steroids.
Antibiotics.
Herbals like dong quai, tea tree oil, and lavender.
Opioids (narcotic drugs)
Estrogen (including those in soy products)
Heartburn drugs.”

Try starting counseling as well for the depression and Gynecomastia. The gynecomastia leads to body disturbances for males especially at a young age. This can be causing a big part of the depression. Also talk to the health care provider about weight and see if this could have something to do about the low testosterone levels.
I'm 25 years old, and I have had gynecomastia (I'm not sure if it has come and gone or I just go a long time forgetting about it) since I was a teenager. I remember my pediatrician dismissing it when I was in school.
I also remember getting it looked at again, either it left and came back, or I just forgot about it until my anxiety problems started, when I was 19 or 20.
I have been taking Lipitor for the last 10 years and lately I have developed muscle pains. I was told the pain might be because of the Lipitor. I stopped taking them for a couple of months, the pain was much less however my cloestrol level was back to 290.
I would appreciate any insight or suggestions.
There is much controversy about cholesterol, but it is muted because of pharmaceutical financial interests in statins. Half of those who die of strokes or heart attacks have no history of high cholesterol. DeBakey discounted cholesterol. My own doctor pays no attention to it. What is the true role of cholesterol and how should one proceed? I don't know, but I won't take Lipitor.
If your hormonal changes are not corrected, you may have an increased risk to develop testis cancer (for which you may want to have regular visits with your doctor), more than the possibility that there is already testicular cancer responsible for the gynecomastia and other changes.
Discuss things with your doctor.
The Lipitor package insert recommends that a test of your liver function should be done prior to and at 12 weeks following both the start of therapy with Lipitor and any increase of dose, and periodically (for example, every six months) thereafter. If there are any changes in your liver function, drinking alcohol may make it worse.
People taking lipitor are recommended to avoid alcohol in their diet because it raises the triglyceride levels, another lipid which is a risk factor for heart disease. Going to soft drinks would be far more beneficial for your body obviously but if this is impossible I would switch your lipitor to the mornings. Lipitor, unlike some statin drugs, can be taken any time of the day.
I went to the doctor and then all of this started. I am a 25 year old male 280lbs and I used to smoke cigarettes and marijuana. I started having erection problems about 4 years ago. It was once in a while not all the time. Now it is still the same situation. I can masturbate with no problem I get erections when I am asleep I dont know how often but my girlfriend and i checked a couple of times I get morning wood sometimes but not always like before. I take viagra sometimes.
If hypothyrodism can cause high cholesterol is it not better to take thyorid hormone replacement than Lipitor?
Hello! I am 25 year old male who looks like 15-17. I've had gynecomastia since i was 15 and also havent grown since that age. Tbh my body havent really changed at all. My bones didnt grow larger or increase of muscles though i trained alot and went through a mandatory 2 years of national service. I still look very young and feel very depressed because of this.I researched about this online and found about hypogonadism. Is that the case or am i suffering from something else?
Thank you!
He specializes in cosmetic and migrane surgery. I had an exam with him last week and he also thought that i have Gynecomastia. The chances of a male my age having breast cancer are slim to none he said but we decided to monitor it for one more month to see if it gets any smaller or starts to go away...if not we will be removing the lump at the end of May.
When i come to know that this is due to enlargement of breast tissue (Gynecomastia), i spoke to my parents about surgery. But they are scared and they said that try to reduce my weight rather than going for surgery option. In another 2.5 months i am getting married. I am always worrying about how can i tell this to my future wife after marriage ? is there any possible ways to get rid of this problem ? Can reducing my weight to 66 kg through exercises, following GM diets help me ?
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.
The only real way to get rid of true gynecomastia is with surgery and if there is an untreated underlying cause it can grow back even after surgery.
