Gynecomastia and Hyperhidrosis

[hopefullydone]

I have both gynecomastia and hyperhidrosis,
are those two related? are they symptoms to some kind of disease?

Because (please please correct me if im wrong) arent they both hormonal issues?

[Dr. Elliot Jacobs]

No, they are two separate  and unrelated issues -- but obviously one can have them both at the same time.

I have written on hyperhidrosis on my website and have actually developed an operation for its treatment.  In the past week, I have operated on one patient with the combined problems and have another patient scheduled for the near future.

This is not as uncommon as one might think -- it just is not openly discussed because of the embarrassment factor.
