Teenage gynecomastia

[THE HULK]

Im 15 im work out 3x time a week my body is in good shape and is starting to look really good now since im working out, But im teenager still going through puberty haha but i have the Lumps underneath my nipples, that makes them stick out, and when u push or touch them u can feel the lump and it moves around. ever since i started working out it seems like the bumps have gone down,expcially in my right it has gone down more. but i was just wondering if ne of u guys have exprienced this problem when u were younger and if it totally went away, cus it makes my nipples swell up and enlarge, but when there cold they shrivle up and look perfect and it really sets my upper body off, but when they dont makes me look fat up there.

If your not familair with this condition read this...
Gynecomastia is usually secondary to the normal hormonal imbalances between testosterone and estrogen that commonly occurs during puberty (pubertal gynecomastia) and it may affect up to 40% of adolescent boys during puberty, usually by the age of 14. In these children, the breast tissue is usually less than 4 centimeters in diameter and will disappear without treatment in two years in 75% of children and within 3 years in 90% of children. Although usually normal, your child with gynecomastia should still have an evaluation with your Pediatrician. You and your Pediatrician should reassure your teenager that this is normal and in most cases should disappear within a few months or years without treatment.

yes i'm very familiar with it. i got it and noticed it cause i jumped out of my seat from pain when i leaned up against the desk. good news is that the lumps go away, but you might always hate your nips. mine are the same way, puffy except when cold it looks fine. the lower my BF% the better it gets.

[THE HULK]

wat do u mean the lower ur body fat the better it gets? Nipple size or the lumps and also how old are you?

[edvedr]

the lumps will go away by themselves after time. but you might be left with pec fat, i was. but when my BF% gets lower the nips get tighter giving it more of that cold look. i am 27

Also as you get and put more muscle behind that "pec fat" it will look much better.

didn't have it myself when i was younger, but i have it now.. i'm going to leave it for a bit longer... eventually i'm hoping to have it surgically removed...

[THE HULK]

Is there ne chance my nips wil go back to normal after the lumps go away, and i start working out with them?

your body is still changing. it could go completely away, or it could stick around. Cant really predict.

dude i am so glad you posted about this.

This happened to me when i was in about 7th grade. My nips started to get puffy. I was ashamed of it all through high school, and finally started working out on a regular basis, thinking it was just baby fat up there. Now it's permanant and i am scheduled for a gynecomastia reduction, a surgical procedure that removes the tissue under your nipple that causes it to stick out.

Mine is just like urs, i am in great shape, 8-10% bf and looking very fit, but with big puffs where my nipples are. I can't rock the tight t shirts or anything cause my nipples start to puff out, I hate it with a passion.

I would recomend that you discuss it with your doctor... tell him how long you have had it, if it doesn't start to go away he may be able to prescribe a short term prescription for a med that will help it go away, so that you never have to have surgery or live with it. If it sticks around for more than a few months, don't take "it will go away on it's own" for an answer. I told my doctor repeatedly about it and that was his response. I'm 22 and i still have it. That doc was a quack. My current doc said if i would have caught it younger i could have stopped it then. Oh well. (the lumps will go away, but the puffyness in your nips may not)

Good luck man.

well you said u are 8 - 10 % Bf, that just burst my bubble of it going away when i get that low. i hate it with a passion as well, i barely wear light colored shirts cause of it.

[THE HULK]

Man, i was down to a little over 6 this past summer. I had a flat, ripped chest with a small shelf and lines through my upper pec... and sure enough, nips that puffed out about a half inch. Absofuckinglutely miserable. I wore board shirts to the beach everyday for surfing
