I recently started having pain right under my right nipple. It started about 3 weeks ago...hasn't stopped. Just as you are I am wondering why and how the hell to get rid of it.

csatz1,

Have a look at the reply I put to your previous posting entitled “Pain at the nipples”. The reason I would draw your attention to it again is that my Gynecomastia first started around the age of 45, and you say in this post that you are 45 and that is important.

Anyone developing gynecomastia at our age needs to have a really good check up by an Endocrinologist.  Gynecomastia is common around puberty and in old age.  It is UNCOMMON if it begins in middle age and needs to be investigated.  Remember Gynecomastia is caused by a hormonal imbalance and investigations need to be carried out to find what has upset your hormones.

I would STRONGLY advise you to go to an Endocrinologist.  Do NOT consider surgery until you have been checked out by an Endocrinologist.  I speak from experience.

Good luck and keep us posted.
