dealing with gynecomastia

[dumac]

I've had puffy nipples since I was about 14 and they have been getting worse since i started working out. I decided to do some research and my research on gynecomastia seemed to be what i had so i made a appointment with my general physician. He examined me and diagnosed me with gynecomastia. Since i don't smoke pot or use any medicines or creams containing estrogen or use steroids he is sending me to an endocrinologist to get my hormone levels checked out.

So my question is what to expect out of this next doctor visit. If my hormone levels are indeed abnormal, what would happen then? Also, would my gynecomastia go away after treatment or would I need surgery.

I have gyno in 1 nipple... So I k ow what it's like... It fuking sucks.. I've been reccomended to take nolvadex since it reduces estrogen hormone levels and that should make your nipple less puffy... Give it a shot... If your nips are still puffy after, consider surgery.

yeah what he said, and high estrogen levels can just be from puberty, you're 19 so they might tell you to wait a couple years for it to go away on it's own, they might remove the tissue with surgery or the might give you an estrogen blocker like greg saidand not just weed my friend common foods that contain phyto estrogen or hormones, BEER...yes hops..soy...dairy products if you are in the states (hormones are illegal in canada not sure about states)...and a few more i can't remember
