Male breasts

[Being_the_Don]

Here's a Newsweek article about men who develop breasts. According to the article most sufferers develop the problem as a result of being overweight.

If that's what the article concludes, then it's not worth reading. If you have "breasts" because you're overweight, then it's because you're FAT, and you just have a fatass chest. Having actual breasts, breast tissue, is called gynecomastia, and aside from steroid use and side effects from some drugs, that's entirely genetic. Most men with gynecomastia- men who are not overweight- developed it when they were in their teens. This article is retarded.

The article gives lots of reasons for it and they distinguish between pseudogynecomastia and gynecomastia. Interestingly enough they write that overweight men can actually develop breast tissue, elevated estrogen levels play some role in it. Still, it's sad for guys who suffer from that condition.

Totally true bates. I had it at 13, years before I smoked pot, and I forget the word for it but in the medical community it is classed as a disorder that doesn't have a cause that they know of. Its not like a breast either its hard lumps and tissue under your nips and lower pecs. The surgery is around 2000 just for that, and more for liposuction if there is fatty tissue along with the hard tissue. Some guys just have fat chests but no hard tissue, that could be solved with just liposuction.

I did a lot of research because I had the gyno surgery when I was a senior in high school. My best friend in college had it too, it's more common than people think. It is classified as a plastic surgery procedure and you're awake while under the knife. Two hypodermic needles full of painful medicine jammed directly in the center of both your nipples into your chest, then cutting out the tissue snip by snip through a small cut in the bottom of the nipple. Not a fun time, but the results were totally worth it. For me I had a good build but the gyno made me embarassed to take off my shirt in public. Recovery is a few months wearing tight shirts under your regular clothes. I recommend it to anyone who can afford it, changed my life for sure.

I've had it too since I was 13... I've missed out on so much because of it, I'd do almost ANYTHING to be normal.

It just feels like a hard, rubbery ball under the nipples.

I have little bits of fat underneath my nipples...this isn't gyno because its not the hard lumps but still looks like crap. They're only obvious when I relax like in the pica above. Not sure what to do to get rid of it ...maybe just work on getting leaner... it sux. Anyone else have this?

how do you know it's not muscle? cause when i tense the top gets all hard and a 'cleft' of some sort forms where i can feel the muscle at the top and fat at the bottom. (which i need to lose) But when im not tense i can't tell the difference as easily.

nvm, just lifted my arms where the chest kind of just spreads out and tried it like that, nothing near the nipples i can feel.
