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?

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.
