I'm sure the Endocrinologist would see you.

I question whether it is needed in your case at this point.

Not even knowing your height, I would hazard a guess that you are under-tall for your weight. At your weight you should probably be near 7 feet tall.

If you are near average height, you are not merely overweight but obese. This could well account for a lot of your breast mass. It also places you at high risk for hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and coronary artery disease.  I know all about this from personal experience.

Your regular family Doctor is your most important ally at this time. Initially, you should have lab tests to see what your risks are for the conditions I mentioned above. Then work with your Doctor to minimize the risks to your health.

Gynecomastia is among the least of your problems at this time. Set some realistic priorities.

Good Luck!

I have sent patients to an endocrinologist at a very young age.  The earliest has been a newborn who turned out to have Adreno Genital Syndrome. 

Men who are overweight also will have breasts.  Have you checked your Body Mass Index or BMI on my Calculator or your Body Fat Analysis?


Hope this helps,
