A member asked:

If i have a gynecomastia should i consult to an endocrinologist?

Usually not: Your family doctor is a good place to start. S/he can examine your breast tissue and testicles if necessary as well as asses your risk factors. Most gynecomastias after adolescence do not require an endocrinological evaluation and are removed for cosmetic reasons.

Not Necessarily...: The vast majority of patients who present with gynecomastia do not have associated hormonal imbalances. Therefore, endocrinology consultation is not necessary or mandatory in most cases. At some point, you may benefit from consultation with board certified plastic surgeons. Learn about the pros/cons associated with gynecomastia surgery. Best wishes.
