What Is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is a condition in which the male’s breast tissue enlarges. This increase in tissue usually occurs at times when the male is having hormonal changes, such as during infancy, adolescence, or old age, especially in men who are overweight.
Recreational drugs, such as marijuana, and nutritional supplements and drugs for bodybuilding can contribute to this condition as well.
Generally, gynecomastia isn’t a serious problem, but it can be tough to cope with. Gynecomastia may go away on its own. If it persists, medication or surgery may help. It is best to talk with your doctor for identifing the underlying cause and for suggested treatment.

I am starting my second year of treatment with testosterone. I had some damage from having untreated diabetes for quite some time. I was quite over-weight. I did not feel healthy, and certainly not very masculine. I had mood swings and depression and my body was different. I was developing breast, losing hair, and had no energy.
