i was seeing if someone else took it up. what can i say, i don't smoke either tobacco or weed ;)
marijuana is always controversial here, but the indications in studies are that it does have an effect on hormone balance, which is why it gets tied to gyne. i don't know how long it would take to come back to close to normal, but numbers are numbers. if you're smoking, he can probably see something's off. it would be better to have stopped for a few weeks so he can guess what normal is for you, but on the other hand, if you normally smoke, that might be what pushed you over the line into gyne, in some cases but not always, but it's got tens of times more thc etc than it did back in the 70s.
so if i can put it this way, he'll see what normal is for you normally, which is abnormal. any clearer? ;)

I doubt they'd know unless specifically testing for it. You'd best quit. If concealed from the doc, he can't treat you adequately and any treatment could be counteracted by weed.

As previously noted, There is a link between Marijuana use and Gynecomastia in some people.
But to the original question, The tests will only show what is being tested for. Though some chemicals may throw the results off. This means that by concealing part of your medical history you may produce an inaccurate conclusion on the part of the Doctor.
Whenever I go to see a Doctor, I prepare a list of everything I take; and that would naturally include non-prescription medicinals, vitamins, and herbals.
To get the best treatment, you need to be a good patient.
