Im 16 years old ,I have gynecomastia for the past few years but I realised this now , I was quite obese but lost a lot of weight in the past 2 years . And have been working out in the gym for about 3 months , rest of my body is coming in shape but my nipples are the same even my upper chest is coming in shape but I think my lower chest is getting worse and also I need to know if Trt will help because I can't afford surgery.

Answer: Gynecomastia and TRT, hormone replacement Its a good and healthy practice to work out in the gym on a regular basis. Regular exercise and a healthy diet routine will encourage proper physical fitness throughout life. The finding of tender or enlarged breasts and/or nipple areola complex in a 16 year old male is relatively common and may or may not resolve spontaneously over a period of years. Curiously the appearance of the gynecomastia can change from week to week. Excess body weight may give the appearance of enlarged breasts with or without the finding of enlarged breast glands. Nevertheless, gynecomastia on one or both sides may also occur in very lean individuals. I would not venture to suggest testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for you without adequate blood work evaluation, and you should know that TRT can be responsible for worsening gynecomastia if not properly administered and monitored.

Answer: Mild gynecomastia as a teenager and TRT Thank you for posting on RealSelf.While your gynecomastia is probably a big deal for you, it is relatively mild compared to many of the cases we see.If you were referring to TRT, testosterone replacement therapy, as a replacement for surgical treatment for gynecomastia, then I think you better stop and get some real information.Gynecomastia is a relatively common side effect from young men taking testosterone when it's not indicated.Very few teenage boys need testosterone therapy. The ones that do have a major hormonal imbalance caused by some major condition.Never, never, never take anabolic steroids without the supervision of a physician.If your gynecomastia bothers you enough, consider making a consultation with your parents and a board-certified plastic surgeon to see what your options are.Keep up the good work and the exercise.Stay in school and study hard.Feel free to contact me directly if I can be of any help.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.
