Can my doctor give me testosterone pills for my gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia: Your doctor can determine whether or not you have a testosterone imbalance and also what the cause of the gynecomastia is. See your doctor for an examination and proper treatment.

Low T not the issue: Low testosterone does not cause gynecomastia, but high estrinics to testosterone ratio will, in addition to a familiar predisposition. Evaluation by your primary care physician or endocrinologist will resolve the issue.

No: Estrogen dependent gynecomastia can sometimes respond to anti estrogen drugs like tamoxifen however. Testosterone can cause gynecomastia.

No: First, testosterone pills aren't really safe (dangerous to liver). Second, excess testosterone is converted into estrogen which then exacerbates gynecomastia (male breasts). Instead, check your estrogen level and block conversion of testosterone into estrogen w/aromatase inhibitor such as anastrazole (prescription breast cancer drug). Of course, diet & exercise help, too! less fat = less gyno.

The management of: gynecomastia is more complex than just prescribing testosterone for it. I do Bio-identical hormone replacement in Miami, FL but my management of gynecomastia is not solely based on giving the patient testosterone. An evaluation by a cosmetic or plastic surgeon, experienced in both gynecomastia removal surgery, liposculture, and hormone replacement is your best option.
