bullsh*t?

[GodWasAngry]

i went to see an endo today and he touched my nipples a bit and said that it will go away, he said everyone get gyne (just in diffrent levels) in their puberty, he touched a bit, said it's only soft tissue and said it'll go away, he said it will go away faster if i work out (ive been working out for about a year)... even though i can feel hard tissue.. do you think it may go away?

Why dont you see a PS?

i want PS to be last resort... dont have the time/money/ support to do it

It looks like glandular gynecomastia from the pictures.

Working out and increasing the pectoral muscles will only make it lok worse as the gland sits on top of the muscles and increasing them will only push it further out/make it more prominent.

If I were you I would get a second opinion.

If you tell me what city and state you live in I will give you the contact details of endocrinologists that have an active interest in reproductive endocrinology only which relates to gynecomastia- perhaps then you might get the help you are looking for.

If you want the info just let me know.

i dont live in the US, but in haifa, israel
and YES i would like a second opinion, my mom says im crazy and the doctor is right... shes crazy
if you can get me info about another endo in my city that would be great

That's as glandular as it comes. I hope he's right. But, I suspect he's wrong.

Slight puffiness of the areolas might go away. But, pointy nips due to underlying gland likely will not.

Sorry.
