Acceptance Garments / Re: Underwire sports bra.

« Last post by Dudewithboobs on Today at 12:17:25 PM »

The bra looks absolutely amazing and a solid fit. The bra itself is definitely invisible it looks like which is great when you find one that advertises it as such and actually is. The 45ish degree angle picture is the most telling in any image. It allows someone from that angle to see the distinct difference of torso and chest. The side photo absolutely looks like a fuller than typical male chest especially for body type and can be seen as breasts in shape/volume but if you present as masculine I don't think anyone is going to look twice at it and think of any sort. The front photo looks quite full as well but given there is no indication of the underwire, arc of cups or straps being visible in these...given it looks the same in other lighting when out and about, I'd assume most would just think you have a more developed chest, not breasts hidden in a bra. 

All in all, I think this bra does a great job in supporting you both physically and aesthetically.

Always in good company here. I remember when I was barely budding and freaking the f out over it. Running to a few surgeons to get ahead of it. Found this forum and made some friends and over time just accepted what it’s become. Now filling a C cup I have found it no different then putting on pants. I swoop and scoop one boob at a time and go about my day thanks to the community here and confidence it’s given me. Thanks to everyone who shares

Gynecomastia Talk / Re: Doctor's visit update. or: Why we still cant get people to grasp this

Ultrasound of my pelvis back in the late 70's produced images of what was "not supposed to be there". That also gave more reason to my juvenal gynecomastia. Not only was I built different on the outside, but I was also quite ambiguous on the inside as well. It's always good to get things checked out well.

Good luck sorting this out for yourself.  I think the majority of folks who are active on this website have chosen to embrace self-acceptance and from there have decided to live with what nature has given us.  I know the man who started this website eventually chose to have surgery and he was very happy about that decision.  A number of us are at an advanced age and the changes in our bodies have simply become the new normal.  But clearly, we each have our own journey to take... 

All of that said, I'm happy for you that your introduced yourself, which meant you were able to receive support from kindred spirits.  It is very painful living alone with anything that leads to shame.  Being with people who know the feelings is really important.  If you stick around you may want to wander a bit and see how we're all dealing with the reality we have breasts... imagine, men who have breasts that simply arrived on the scene.  For some that began in adolescence, for others it came later in life.  But here we are, part of a club none of us really wanted to join... but are happy we found.  We are not alone.  All the best to you Ironmaiden.

Always appreciate photos of what my men friends are doing to take care of their BREASTS!  This is really important.

Why do you need an ultrasound of your pelvis?  What is your concern? 

There are other concerns that have been coming up.   The CT scan said nothing but there is still "sensations" telling me something is going on. I am being deliberately ambiguous for certain reasons right now.

Why can’t they grasp this? Good question. I guess some doctors and nurses get it and some don’t. I feel fortunate that mine do. From my GP, urologist and dermatologist they all understand.
I get yearly breast exams and bi annual skin cancer exams. And what ever else seems to pop up now that I’m in my 60s. When I take my clothes off, excluding my bra. They all know why I wear a bra. And I believe they do actually care about my health. My dermatologist actually lifts my breasts up when she does my all over skin cancer check. 
Taxmapper, I feel bad that you have to go through this. I can’t imagine. You must feel awful about it all. I am truly sorry because all of us know what it’s like having breasts and to be treated like that is terrible. Maybe someday they will understand.
On a side note, my wife and I started watching a show on Netflix called best medicine. It’s funny and the first episode had a thing on Gynecomastia. Hilarious!

I’m an ultrasound tech and I see varied degrees of gynecomastia regularly and it’s only a big deal if the patient thinks it’s a big deal.  Breast exams should be a regular part of the annual checkups. 

I agree.    I also need an US for my pelvis, dispite the CT scan already done.   I am still suspicious something else is going on. 
This is also why I refused male doctors.  At least the two I am working with now dont hold anything against them.

Sounds like the crappy healthcare system you described is at it again.

Ran into the same stuff in WA State, so I left. A few other reasons are in the mix.
I landed on a sweet spot here in Tennessee. They listen & have investigated the proper plan to treat this MEN Syndrome. The resultant gyne is a non issue. When asked if it’s bothering me & do I want to treat it, I responded with. No ! That was the end of it. GP said with the CHEK 2 gene mutation she would like a new mammogram because the last one was  almost 4 years ago. Should have been 2 but the radiologist in WA cancelled it and ‘ said not needed. ‘ The pharmacist wouldn’t fill the prescription for osteoporosis  he didn’t  agree with the doc on the treatment.

I am wondering if if you should get your care out of state. Is this an employer plan  ??

I dont have that kind of money.   
The plan is through the county. We were on a sep. plan through a Metro system but dropped that after the illustrious mayor of that mun. decided to go on a socialist rampage and the med. system was also fraught from the State house when they upped the doctor's insurance mal. p. insurance rates to over 600K per year minimum. 
The healthcare here in NM is atrocious, and its getting worse as doctors leave because they can no longer afford to practice here. So were left with the bottom feeders.
