I know it's been done before

I know this has been a topic many... many times before, but is it not possible that masterbation may have an effect on gyne. Maybe not to the extent to cause the condition, but to cause a near chain reaction? During the time of pubirty your hourmones ( i know I can't spell I am working off of and Idea) are pretty unstable diving into your code to make sure of what sex you are. Now is something such as masterbation throw this pattern into a spiral making a problem which your body knows you have even worse!?

Which makes it understandable why you could only resolve this problem (without sugery)  before your pubery is over!?
Lets say during your first stages of puberty when your estrogen lvls may have already been off set, you threw them lower and lower causing more and more damage each time, couldn't it cause you already weak system to start the pattern which lands up here? I have had gyne for probably 2 to 3 years... I am 16 now. I'm not gonna lie I masterbate often... But I will experiment and stop for a few months is I have to... Just to try and prove this little theory right or wrong...

Categorically- NO.

Masturbation is chemically exactly the same as sexual intercourse.  Sexual intercourse and sexual behavior are generally at their highest between late teens and early thirties.  This is exactly the time when statistically development rates of gynecomastia are at there lowest.

As well as puberty, gynecomastia also readily occurs during two other points in life.  It occurs in babies and it occurs in those over the age of 50.  These times of course do not fall in line with this pet theory.

What you are referring to would equate to a negative feedback system that would result in the most proactively sexual people being statistically far more likely to develop gynecomastia.  It would also mean within such groups a statistical likelihood of the most active developing more significantly severe gynecomastia;

But neither of the above has any semblance of truth, neither reflects anything approaching the reality.

In fact quite the reverse gynecomastia is at its root caused by a hormonal imbalance be it temporary as in puberty or more permanent as in hypogonadism or liver disease.  Many of the conditions that cause gynecomastia actually cause lowered libido and with lowered libido you have reduced sexual activity.

Your negative feedback theory would in effect result in a greater estrogen to androgen ratio which would in turn, turn off the very feeling that leads to sexual activity.

So you are proposing a mechanism of gynecomastia development that would actually be opposed by the physiology of the body according to how the body would work if such a mechanism existed..

I can tell you from an endocrine point of view that this is an absolute non runner- and I am being very generous in putting it that way.

No creditable endocrine source anywhere in the world buys into this theory.

No harm in asking though...
