I have gynecomastia and my penis & testicles are very small. Could it be genetic?

Question

Hello, I am turned 28 recently.I used to cycle everyday for about 15km when i was at 20. I feel this might be the problem for my penis & testicles being small in size. My penis and testicles are very small and i think there is no change in size for the last 10 years. I am also suffering from gynacomastia which makes me to feel embrace when i go out with T-Shirts. Do you think this might be a genetic/hormone problem please do share how to get treated for this..

It is quite possible that you have a hormone problem that is causing all of these issues. It is unlikely that cycling caused your penis and testicles to be small. The place to start in finding a diagnosis is to have your family physician examine you and order some bloodwork to assess your hormone levels, specifically your testosterone and estrogen levels. If those are abnormal then you will want to see an endocrinologist for further treatment. Once you get a diagnosis as to the cause then you can proceed with surgery to reduce the size of your breasts. Make sure to use a board-certified plastic surgeon when you do. Hope that helps!
