this drug is a miracle. had some really hard times during my hairloss period but now my hairs looking and feeling great. i know, its crazy but it don't want to discontinue medication because of the psychological and "hairy" benefits.
my problem: there is something in my breast. feels like a glande mixed with fat but i was not sure. the tissue is bigger on the right side than on the left. Today my doctor made an ultrasound of my breast and told me that everything is fine but according to my research men without gyno doesn't have glands or other tissue in breast.
please take a look at my ultrasound and give me some input. is there are gland recognizable?

I don't read ultrasounds. And my gueass is that no one on this site will do so since it amounts to treating you as a patient, establishing a doctor-patient relationship, which is generally not done on line. Unless the lump in your breast is distinctly glandular and more dense than the surrounding breast tissue, it might not "appear". Gynecomastia id generally a clinical diagnosis based on history and examination. If ou are still concerned about the lump you should either see a breast surgeon or gynecomastia surgeon. Good luck.

I agree with Dr. Schuster. I can agree with the radiologists when they point to things on an ultrasound, but the studies are not very helpful to me on my own. That said, the diagnosis of gynecomastia is based on history and physical exam, and supporting studies such as ultrasounds and mammograms may provide useful information on rare occasion, but most of the time, they're a waste of time and money (that's my opinion--some practitioners may find benefit). If you have a lump, it's worth getting it evaluated by a gynecomastia specialist or a breast surgeon.
