I need to know what is the difference between gyno and man boobs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Both are slang: Gynecomastia is real breast duct tissue and edematous stroma in a man. "man boobs" is a vulgar term for gynecomastia, fat in the breast area, or big pectoralis major muscles. Surgery is appropriate for the first two.
