Dear Doctor, I believe that I might have gynaecomastia. It is only my nipples which sometimes seem a little puffy yet my chest (breast) is perfectly fine. Since I am currently at the age of 16, is surgery recommended if my case is gynaecomastia? In addition, if it should go away after a while, how long before it does so? Thanks, Any help is greatly appreciated!

Answer: Gynecomastia - signs and symptoms Thank you for your question. It is difficult to determine if you have or not gynecomastia, without a picture or physical exam. Based on your description, It doesn't seem to be the case. Usually patients with gynecomastia complain of: 1. Tenderness and sensitivity to the nipples. 2. Hardness to the nipples 3. Breast increased size. Most of the times the symptoms that you complain of, should go away once your body stabilizes the hormonal storm that you are going through. I would recommend you to go to your pediatrician to make sure everything is within the normal side. Best luck.
