@WPW I have never had a mamogram. My initial onset of gynecomastia was in 2019 and stalled pretty fast and my GP then has retired. Covid hit and the obstacles to see a dr during then just removed interest in trying to see a dr. No real need to so never did. Tried to make a few appts this year to get back on track with annual physicals and such and my earliest appointment with a dr i found and liked is mid june...made that appointment 2 months ago sheesh. My chest has grown nearly 3 cup sizes since onset with most of the growth occurring in the last year or so. Which has prompted the interest to see a dr. I don't want to have D cups lol so i'd like to get things tested and stop it if i can to see if I can stop it, if it is indeed starting to grow again
I do have low libido and generally have for well over a decade. It's never been an issue I just never really had much interest in sex, it's just boring to me honestly. So never knew if lack of interest was due to estrogen dominance or just lack of interest. Just not a sexual person in that regard.
I will definitely look at Prolactinoma, is there a reason this causes more filling out on the outside of the breast and under bust rather than central areas? Always kind of fascinated the more I learend about these things the more it seems interesting that tissue kind of picks and chooses where to develop....you'd think it woudl just be a tree of sorts and grow from the trunk and branch out rather than here or there.
I can't imagine experiencing lactation or the sensation of it. Seems like it would be super weird to experience and quite intimidating to go out feeling like it could happen somehow and how apparent it would be given the obviousness of the spots it would cause lol.
I will bring it up if still experiencing things come the appointment in June, appreciate your insight and input!
@JustaGirl, C from 20s to D in 50's seems to be a pretty slow growth period, contrary to C cup in 20s obviously a quite accelerated growth period. Did you find any source and cause for the immediate to slowed growth? I feel in 2019 my onset came and stalled rapidly which was nice, and last year and a half it's grown slow and steady with recent months giving me a more full b cup rather just a b cup and now entering a C cup, and curious if you had any source for what may have caused things to add to my notes for asking a dr bout in my appt as to my understanding dr's tend to just generalize lab tests and not really look for expanded reasons for things like this.
@Taxmapper thats kind of my worry right now. I have friends who are female who in recent years have grown substantially in their breasts and some have complained how sore they always are and hurt and it's similar to me now and it's a concern/worry that they are growing and as accepting as I've become of them, thinking that they may be growing more just means they would be growing more obvious and that is a concern to me as I've become quite comfortable with my B cups as odd as that is to say as a guy lol imagining them bigger just kinda scares me
