I am a 22 year old male and started taking battle fuel XT, a testosterone booster from Musclepharm 6 weeks ago. I came across this topic that linked T booster with gyno and instinctively grabbed my nipples and was shocked to feel 1 or 2 pea sized lumps(jelly bean sized) under my areolae. They are hard and moveable, but i feel no sensitivity, pain, itchiness or soreness. Is there such thing as an average size of male mammary glands ? can they be felt? does this look like gyno? what should i do?

The photos do not suggest clinically significant gynecomastia, and you certainly do not have gynecomastia to the extent for which an operation would be needed. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Answer: Gynecomastia and Testosterone Booster Hi ryan234,Thanks for the post and photos. Based on the photos you do not appear to have gynecomastia. It is normal for men to have some breast tissue. Gynecomastia is the presence of excess tissue giving the breast a more feminine look. I would recommend that you stop taking the supplement.Sincerely,Dr. Dadvand
