The testicles are the bodies production factory for testosterone.  If your testicles do not function properly then this can result in not producing enough testosterone (though there are other ways that a lack f testosterone can occur and other ways gynecomastia can develop).

A lack of testosterone or a hormone it produces called dihydrotestosterone results in a hormone imbalance and is called hypogonadim.  Hypogonadism is an associated condition of gynecomastia and 10% of all gynecomastia sufferers have hypogonadism- with that being the cause.

If you are concerned about this being the possible cause for the development of your gynecomastia then you need to see a gynecomastia and hormone specialist called an endocrinologist.  In particular you would want to see one who has an interest in reproductive endocrinology.

I hope that helps.
