A member asked:

I think i have gynecomastia. i was fat when i was young, now i am a bit underweight, but the man boobs are still there. any ideas on what i should do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Gynecomastia: Very simple - see your primary doctor! PS: I grew up in Sydney med school, took a year for lab data, moved to St. Louis in 1974 and could not get a ticket back to Sydney. I have stayed in Michigan since 1976 and still active. Things will be fine for you.
