Check hormonal levels first and clinical exam before medications

Hisham Seify, MD, PhD answers: Male body builder chest fat

Not sure if I have gyno and I've never taken steroids but I've got a well trained chest. My chest does have some fat puffiness and I look alot like some doctor's "before" patients for gyno.  Instead of surgery, I wonder if I should take something to lower my estrogen?

Hello trevor,

You might want to check some homone levels first before taking any medications. Your primary care physician could get some blood tests and a clinical exam that would rule out any hormonal factors. Once this is done, your next step is to seek a plastic surgery consultation if still bothers you. Liposuction is the easy treatment for this condition.

I wish you all the best.
