What Is The Cause And Treatment For Gynecomastia?
Hi! I'm a 17 years old teenage boy and I'm really concerned about my "men boobs". I really don't know why I have them, I'm not even obese or anything, my tummy's slimmer than my breasts, it looks really weird....O_o should I take some hormons or something? Doesn't look like exercises are helping me with this problem.......:/

Hello,
For your problem, since you are not obese I would recommend seeing an endocrinologist to check your hormone levels. You may have problems with cortisol that's why you have excess fat in the breast area.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Manuel C See IV, Urologist
