Question 1

do they make bras for men with gynecomastia?

Accepted Answer

Manzier?: Custom bras can be made for men.  Check with doctor or google it to  find who makes them for women.  You may wish to consider surgery (yes, i'm a surgeon) however which can be very effective.

Question 2

only girls) i have gynecomastia which bra can i wear?

Accepted Answer

I don't understand: I'm not sure what you are asking.Are you male or female? If you are female, and have breast development, you only need a bra that seems to give the type of support most comfortable to you. Get fitted by an expert at the store if possible. If you are male and have gynecomastia, it can be very common in your teens, and then go away. If you are older and it is still a problem, check with your doctor.

Question 3

how do i tell her that i have to wear a bra because i have male breast enlargement?

Accepted Answer

Gynecomastia: This is a treatable disorder.  Unless your bmi is over about 35, most docs will treat it.

Question 4

how do i tell new lady that i have to wear a bra because i have male breast enlargement?

Accepted Answer

Tell the truth: Real gynecomastia (male breast enlargement) is easy to treat surgically.   Most men who have it would prefer to be rid of it, but some men love it.  Some overweight men have fat that simulates breasts ("pseudogynecomastia"); most men with this don't like it and it can be removed by liposuction.  Before the shirt comes off, tell her -- she may like it, or like you for who you are and ignore it.

Question 5

how do boys get gynecomastia?

Accepted Answer

PRL, E2...puberty: Hi. If boys have new bilateral gynecomastia at 19, there's a problem with prolactin or estrogen. See your doctor.

Question 6

what is gynecomastia in males?

Accepted Answer

Male breasts: Gynecomastia, or male breasts, can occur naturally in adolescence and usually resolves on its own.  They can  be due to some drugs or medications including marijuana and steroids;  or due to some diseases. Before having surgery to address gynecomastia, all causes should be ruled out to make sure no serious illnesses are being missed.

Question 7

when will gynecomastia go away?

Accepted Answer

Surgery: Adjusting the endocrine levels during the first six months of gynecomastia development may help in its regression. However, after that time frame the breast tissue tends to remain and harden. This leaves surgery as the only treatment option. The surgical procedures include: gland excision, or gland excision accompanied by liposuction.

Question 8

i need advice with gynecomastia?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: While most cases of gynecomastia have no known cause, it can occasionally be associated with other abnormalities, and is often temporary in teenage boys. Start with your doctor. If he/she feels you need surgery, see a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. This is a common procedure that can achieve excellent results with the right surgeon/patient/problem combination.

Question 9

does gynecomastia resolve itself?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes, but...: Pubertal gynecomastia often resolves within 1 to 3 years after onset. Adult onset gynecomastia however does not necessarily do so. If persistent, it is often best treated with  partial excision of the prominent glandular tissue  as well as liposuction surgery of the peripheral chest area.  If the prominence of the chest wall is caused by adipose tissue, then liposuction surgery may suffice.

Question 10

what is gynecomastia? who gets it?

Accepted Answer

Breasts in men : Gynecomastia is the presence of glandular (potentially milk-producing) tissue in the male breast. It can happen during normal puberty, but can also be caused by some meds like digoxin and cimetidine, by marijuana use, low testosterone, use of excess testosterone or other body building steroids, and certain tumors.
