I've enlarged breasts since puberty, do I have gynecomastia?

October 16, 2018
Asked By:BloodStain in Chicago, IL

I am a 34 year old male. I have had enlarged breasts since puberty; they feel like lumps underneath both nipples. This problem has been causing me distress because the bumps are visible when I have clothing on. I am seeing a surgeon next week since I suppose the only option is surgical excision of the glands. I am interested in knowing your opinion about possible options and the extent of the problem based on what the pictures show.
