A member asked:
I have gynecomastia, how would i be able to increase my testosterone and estrogen levels?

Why?: If you increase your estrogen levels, your gynecomastia may worsen. If you have concerns about your hormone levels, consider consultation with an endocrinologist.

Why?: Best not to “treat” the gynecomastia by attempting to manipulate your hormonal levels. If you have concerns about abnormal hormonal levels being causative of the gynecomastia, best to seek consultation with an endocrinologist. If, in the long term, gynecomastia remains a concern, surgical correction may be indicated; usually involves direct excision of gland tissue and/or liposuction surgery.
