Gynecomastia Pain (discomfort)

[Chadly]

Hi, would like to know if you Doctor's have had many past or present patients that have experienced pain or discomfort with there gynecomastia? If yes, has it gone away with surgery and gland removal? Thanks again!

Many patients complain of pain associated with gynecomastia.  This is often the case in steroid users, and even when they stop the steroid use, they continue to have discomfort in many instances.  While there is no guarantee that the pain will go away with surgery, it does resolve in most cases in my experience.

Agree with Dr. Silverman -- frequently the pain or tenderness will diminish after appropriate gyne surgery -- but there are absolutely no guarantees!

Thank you both for your replies!
