How will i recognize that i am suffering from gynecomastia i am 18?

Gynecomastia: You usually have puffy appearing nipples with enlarged breast that have a hard consistency like a young female breast. To confirm it visit an experienced board certified plastic surgeon that performs this operations often. http://www.talroudnerplasticsurgery.com/male/male-breast-reduction-gynecomastia-miami-fl/.

Gynecomastia: Gynecomastia is benign enlargement of breast tissue in males. Causes include normal adolescent development (50% of all males), metabolic disorders, tumors, or from medication side effects. Also, due to normal aging decreases in testosterone, older males can also develop this condition. The good news is, 80% of young males will outgrow this condition. See your primary care doctor for details.

Seek Consultation.: In-person consultation with your family practitioner and/or plastic surgeon is a good place to start. Accurate history and physical examination is important. Eliminating “causes” of gynecomastia is also important. Surgical treatment usually involves partial excision of the glandular tissue plus/minus liposuction surgery. Again, much of what is recommended will depend on specific physical exam.
