I've got man boobs, I'm 20 and not fat, I'm not skinny but i'm not at the manboob size. I went to the doc and he sent me to an endrocronologist. My question is, if I end up taking hormones or w/e to get rid of these... how long does it normally take for changes to actually happen physically speaking? Is this gonna take like 5 years or some sh!t to change or will it be the week after I change things up? Also could I just get a reduction done? If so anyone know a good doc for it? Or how to start about getting it done. I've read that you can get it covered by insurance if you can show how it's a health problem (which won't be hard...)

Also, I can't seem to lose weight... I can't go in public to exercise cause it's just too freaking embarrassing to do and I can't puke because when I do it feels like I'm getting kicked in the balls...
Also, plz don't just tell me to do pushups, I've done more than I can count and they've done nothing (but maybe got bigger... I dunno)

you have what is called gynecomastia.

Gynecomastia is overdevelopment of the male breast. The glandular tissue of the breast swells, usually in response to an excess of the female hormone estrogen or a lack of testosterone, a male hormone. It occurs in babies, adolescent boys, and older men.

Use of certain medications may also cause gynecomastia, including:

Steroids, such as prednisone or Hexadrol.
Medications used to treat ulcers (such as cimetidine).
Medications used to treat epilepsy (such as phenytoin [Dilantin]).
Digitalis and other heart medications.
Chemotherapy drugs, especially alkylating agents, a family of anticancer drugs that interfere with cells' DNA and inhibit cancer cell growth.
Antiandrogen drugs (such as flutamide, cyproterone, and spironolactone).
Antianxiety and antidepressant medications (such as diazepam [Valium] and tricyclic antidepressants).

Gynecomastia in babies and adolescents normally does not require treatment and will usually resolve on its own. If caused by medication or disease, stopping the medication or treating the disease will often cure the gynecomastia. If caused by a lack of testosterone and increase in estrogen, hormonal treatment may be prescribed.

man boobs are normal... don't get upset... you need to build up the chest area.. tighten those muscles up.

women love a big chest on a man... medication is only going to mess you up chemically....

look at other men... some are sunken chested... and others have big chests.. just did they strengthen up their chests are do their chests sag?

some exercise regiment and a program to help tone your muscles can help considerably... instead of the endocrinologist how about a dietitian and a physical trainer! some foods do go to the chest like some carbs and fats.... and you may have that problem... a dietitian can help you figure out what foods may work better for you in the long run and a physical trainer can help you build up flabby and effect muscle that seems to sag much quicker than other muscle tissues.

researching online about foods and their effects on the body and help and muscle building (moderate) that can help build up muscle that tends to resist the usual activity such as your chest.. belly and rear end.

:D

try this before some doctor screws you up with drugs.
