My name is Rob, I am 15 years old and have an important question regarding "gynecomastia". Last year I weighed 180 pounds and stood 5'5. This year I lost the weight- I weigh at 130 now (and gained a lot more muscle however I noticed a growth of my chest area...a growth of fat. Since summer is coming up, I did some research on this problem. I exercise, lift, and, I am active a lot during the day, however everywhere on my body is lean, but my chest and torso are not(could be loose skin) but I am worried mostlty about my chest. It is like two flabs of fat there. I know this is personal, but my nipples are swollen most of the time..FAT NIPS!! In the locker room I just leave my t-shirt on, but I notice my other peers have tiny nipples. My father also has this problem...I asked him one day, "Dad, when you were young did u have fat nipples?" His answer was NO..thank God..it's not genetic! But, I have had a fat chest for most of my life...I always thought it was due to my chubbiness, but once I lost the weight...the fat chest is still there. It has also been a problem since I can't use the cold weather to hind the puffiness.
continue your cardio, cut body fat, do lots of chest workouts. if all done but still have the problem , you may have to see Dr. for that. you are still very young so I dont suggest you do any surgery.
Gynecomastia is very common among guys going through puberty. It is estimated that 60% of guys experience some degree of breast growth during this time. In most cases the situation is self-limiting and the "problem" remits within a window around 1-3 years. In some cases, the breast tissue remains. While an overall decrease in bodyfat will oftentimes help reduce chest fat deposits; exercises, diet changes, topical treatments etc., WILL NOT make the glandular tissue go away. Presently surgery is the only option to remove the glandular tissues. Puffy nipples are a common manifestation of this condition.
Dude its probably gyno. I got it when i was 11 and the doctors told me it would go away. Now im 19 and i still have it. If you see a doctor and tell him its alwayz sore and painfull, your health insurance will cover it. Otherwise it will cost ya around 3500$
