Www.gynecomastia.org: Gynecomastia is a fairly common condition in young men. It is usually related to an imbalance of testosterone and estrogen. And it's not uncommon to have more of a problem on one side of the chest. At your young age, you may want to be evaluated for an endocrine problem. If the problem is stable and you've had it more than a couple of years, it probably won't go away without surgery.

Seek Consultation.: During the consultation process, a history and physical examination will likely be very helpful. Make sure you provide a list of all medications and/or drugs you use. Hormonal studies, although sometimes helpful, are not mandatory. If persistent, is often best treated with partial excision of the prominent glandular tissue as well as liposuction surgery of the peripheral chest area.
