Accepted Answer

Some options: The age listed on your profile is 35. If true, this is long past the age when puberty related gynecomastia would fade.I would see your doc and make sure you do not have a treatable medical condition that brought this about.It is rare but men can get breast cancer.If not a consultation with a plastic surgeon with experience in the area would be my next move.

Question 2

how to cure gynocomastia?

Gynecomastia: It depends on the etiology, severity of it. Often it resolves on its own. Make sure you have been checked for thyroid and gonad conditions and your medications are reviewed to rule out gynecomastia as a side effect. Some drugs are effective and if it is very severe, surgery is an option.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

No: It doesn't cure, but can reduce breast size in men.  It is NOT recommended for this, as there are many side effects and issues related to using this medication. Do NOT USE.

Question 7

can gynocomastia brme cured without surgery ?

Accepted Answer

Not really: Only very mild forms will respond and I have treated nearly anorexic males with 4% body fat that still require surgery. While some claims of external ultrasound or radio frequency have been made, I have tried and am. It impressed with the results if there is any degree if breast tissue enlargement. Hormone pills are not reliable and not generally recommended. Exercise may camouflage mild cases.

Question 8

is it possible to be a late bloomer but then speed up?

Accepted Answer

Of course !: That is what late bloomers are all about, late but rapid acceleraton in height ! however and to be on the safe side, its better to do basic hormonal workup to exlude all other possibilities such as hypothyroidism or growth hormone deficiency (especially if there is no family history of delayed puberty). All the best !
