Answer 1

I don't know if you can avoid telling your parents, but you really need to see a doctor, particularly an endocrinologist. (This is a doctor that specializes in hormones.) Your disorder could be a symptom of something more serious.

The doctor will test your testosterone levels and other body functions, and if you need testosterone, or other hormone treatment, s/he will prescribe it. S/he or she will find out what is the cause of the breast development, and help you decide what needs to be done about it. Taking testosterone without having a doctor keep track of what's going on with your body is very dangerous.

If you can't talk to your parents, or go to a doctor without telling them why, is there a nurse at your school in whom you can confide? S/he might be able to help you get you the treatment you need. There isn't anything "over the counter" that can help, unfortunately. Good luck to you.

Gynecomastia is a condition affecting the genes of the male body. This condition reduces the testorone level in males, therefore pubis hair in possibly decreased, the voice doesn't deepen as much, genetalia may be decreased, and possibly an increase in estrogen.
Thus, your body is doing what it was naturally programmed to do. This is not something that you can hide or ward off with supplements. There is no product available that can reduce the size your breast. This is something that genetics has already set in your path, the only alternative is liposuction. This procedure sucks the fatty tissue out of the bodily regions, and can be very painful. Sometimes after the procedure your body normaly starts reviving the fatty tissues leading you down the road more a more intense surgery which invilves removing of more deeper tissues. Also, these surgies can be on the costly spectrum end of the deal.

SOme women wish that they can sprout boobs, so this could not be all of a bad thing, and not to mention...it has been clinically proven that men can nurse their offspring (breast feeding). This may prove to be an advantage, and what one woman wants a man that is not able to support his child?

Answer 3

I know you might not be comfortable talking to your parents. But I suggest you should let them know, they will be concerned for you as a parent and may be able to take you the DR. Don't try unproven remedy that may endanger you and don't try to do it behind their back. Or you could to talk to your School nurse to get some help but it might be only first aid . You never know your parent medical insurance may cover your medical expense.

Answer 4

Estrogen blockers may be needed. You don't want to take test because that may cause you to produce too much test, which will give you gyno. Have you test levels checked asap. Be open with your parents and tell them how you feel.
