Most embarassing gyno moment?

[aux513s]

I was wondering what is the single most humiliating incident that's happened to you because of gyno?
Also, how did you react and handle the situation?

I don't think I've had anything too bad happen to me. Occasionally I'll overhear someone making a comment, but so far that's the worst that's happened. No one has openly said anything to my face yet.

Telling my mom about it while on vacation in Mexico, then walking outside 10 minutes later and hearing my mom say "Take your shirt off and I'll put sunblock on you" Infront of our family and family friends.

I said "Sure, but I forgot my goggles in the room so I'll go get them" Then went and bought some coronas and drank.

I was at a wedding where I was in the wedding party.... we were loaded and there was no air conditioners in the place so all the dudes went to the washroom to clean up a bit.... forgetting about what warmth does to gyno.... I tore my shirt off in front of everyone only to see my nipples hanging there...
OUCH!!!!!!!!

Pulling ,my nipple  in the toilets so it shrinks before I go out to the pool. The swimming pool changing rooms are unisex..... It was early morning and I was tired and hadn't noticed I was in the ladies

Two women walked in and one said  'one of us is in the wrong toilet' , I must have gone red and I crawled out , with them giggling.

Bloody unisex.

In my twenties, I was in the USAF as a Medic. Some of the guys were planning an outing and invited along a Nurse who had been newly assigned to our Hospital. They talked me into going along as her date. My "Blind Date" turned out to be a young lady who was very flat chested. My breasts were truly larger than hers. To make things even worse, it wound up being a swim party at a lake not far from the Air Base.  After suffering through a very long and miserable day, we actually became the best of friends.

I've had the condition since about the age of 12 which would have been in 1949. I was almost 50 before the surgery became available and by then I had more important things to worry about so I've not seriously considered surgery.

I haven't had many embarrassing since i've stayed out of trouble(like swimming pools, topless amongst women)

But i think the worst was when a girl posted a picture of a man  http://www.gynecomastia.org/images/gynoshots/steve3.jpg
here with gynecomastia on her blog and said that was probably what "you know who" looked like (reffering to me)

Besides when a guy came up to me in the locker room and grabbed both my nipples and twisted them, and the time playing shirts vs skins, and every day in the showers, the most embarassing moment was when my father took me to a (quack) doctor about my "condition."  I was a fat, pasty white 13 year old with puffy nipples.   The doctor told me to remove my shirt and jog in place for awhile.  I don't remember why.  The doctor left the room for a few minutes, and there I was jogging in my underwear, bouncing like jello, with my father sitting there watching me with a pained expression on his face.  
  I just wanted to crawl in a hole and die.  The doctor said I was "just fat" and gave me amphetamines, which led to losing a lot of weight very fast and becoming anemic and getting pneumonia.

Aloe,

You are not alone, The Dr. my mom took me to said I had an underactive thyroid and treated me accordingly. Without doing any Lab work at all.

When that failed, he said it was just puberty and it would go away in a year. If he had investigated just a bit further, he would have learned that it is a common family trait.

Whenever I tell someone to see a Doctor, I specifically say a competent one, Unfortunately not all are competent in this area.

Thank you.  And back in the early 60's - well, you can imagine how much general awareness and openess there was about this and many other things.

Not really hurt me.I always have high titac to hiding it.But when summer is come,i need to stay at home and not go out anymore, only winter is my happy time.

Aloe,

Such things were not much spoken about except that kids at school are just as mean as ever.
I don't think anything has changed in the teasing dept.

Because there was no open discussion years ago, If you had Gynecomastia you probably thought you were the only one!

It should be expected that with the open exchange of information available today, Things should actually be better.

Unfortunately, the reverse has happened and we live in the midst of a rather perverse time when it comes to the issue of body image.

I would point out that that the term "Body Dysmorphic Disorder" is a relative recent addition to the lexicon.
