Gyno or fat?














I made a more complete post in the "Ask a doctor" forum with some background information if you want to learn more about my specific case.

Thanks :)

First of all gynecomastia is the term used to describe male breast enlargement. If your a male and have breast enlargement you then have gynecomastia! It does not mater if it is mostly fat or breast tissue.

Everyone, male and female are born with breast tissue. In your case you look like you have a mild case of gynecomastia, if it has mostly breast tissue it would require surgery to remove.

Hope this helps.

Not bad. So border line that If you said either: yes I do have it, or no I don't have it, I would agree either way.

You appear a few pounds overweight and do have some mild excess tissue on your chest.  Why not start a 6 month program of intensive diet and exercise and then take another look at your chest after you have dropped 10-15 pounds.  While the breast tissue itself may not disappear, your breasts themselves might be satisfactory to you.
