Gynecomastia Talk / Re: Obese, recently stated having mostly unilateral tenderness

« Last post by oldguy on Yesterday at 05:57:45 PM »

I'm Obese, middle age man, recently stated having mostly unilateral tenderness, but I don't feel any lumps in the breast. Its more like a bit swollen and tender when pressed. Also the nipple is more tender than usual. I've had it before (but less tender), and then it has gone away. This time its more prominent though.I guess its a good thing I can't feel a lump, but I worry it could be something else. I'm also taking medications that can have gyno as side effect rarely. Seeingmy GP in 2 weeks.
Should I be worried?

First thing is to share this with your GP.  My GP recommended me to a breast doctor that also does surgeries.  He confirmed that I had Gyne.  I only take a blood pressure and cholesterol medication.  Advised that I don't do surgery.  More risk than reward.  I was 63 then and over weight.  Probably obese under the new guidelines. 

I began an exercise routine and, over two knee surgeries have lost 75lbs.  i feel great and getting in 3 miles a day at 75.  Unfortunately, the breasts didn't follow the weight loss.  With 40C and a 34" waist it's hard.  Doing the best i can to conceal them.  Winters are great.  Summers, not so much.

I have mammograms every two years.  They show some more breast tissue, but no cancer.

There are so many possibilities with your symptoms.  Just keep reminding yourself that the big "C" is a very, very small chance.   Try to stay calm and talk to your doctor.   It is most likely an infection, or the onset of gyno.

oldguy, What did the hygenist say?

The first time, several years ago, she just starred at me and didn't say anything.  I felt the need to explain.  The doctor came in for a exam and didn't mention anything.  While there are several hygienist's at the practice, I am usually scheduled with her.  All is good. And she does a great job cleaning my teeth. 

Perhaps a little unprofessional if you felt the need to explain your appearance?

Heck, I could see them.  I wanted to assure her that this can happen as men get older.  It's much better than cancer.  I'm glad that she could see them, since I'd hate to have a blind hygienist.

As a side note my HS friend and I purchased a mountain log cabin in 1992, where we spent a lot of time while our kids were growing up.  It was built in 1932 and is on the national historic register as one of the best preserved cabins in the National Forest.  My friend was a dentist and took care of our family for almost 50 years.  He retired 5 years ago.  Yes, he knows about my condition. 

I would have the assistant staff put the bib on the female patients right away when they were seated and before I reclined them back, with the way some of the younger crowd dressed your vision of their bicuspids was distracted buy the vision of staring down their boobs.

Acceptance / Re: Breast Fetish?

« Last post by gyne73 on December 23, 2025, 11:22:33 PM »

Today I celebrate my body just the way God intended it to be. I gaze at the mirror both braless and in a bra.
Is it a fetish, or am I just appreciating what I have? I think the latter.

I too have large hips, my waist hip ratio is 0.75, in the female range, and my feet have stopped growing; I am in the upper range of female feet (EU size 40, more or less 9.5 in US). When I lived as a woman I did not have difficulty in finding shoes.

My body is a mixture, clearly the genitalia are male, but the rest is not so definite.

I think that the difference between fetish and appreciation, at least for me, lies in the level of excitement. When I was younger clearly it was more exciting, my nipples are so sensitive!, now I just appreciate them as a gift but I know that it can be viewed as a fetish.
