I'm dealing with gynecomastia and a small penis size since I was a kid. Its really tough because I can't wear t-shirts or go shirtless at the beach or pool without feeling super embarrassed, and its really knocked my confidence down. Could this be because of a hormonal imbalance? What steps should I take for treatment? I'm really hoping for a complete transformation once I start treatment.

how can i tell if i have gynecomastia is it something that can go away with diet and exercise or do i need surgery and what would the surgery cost be

Gynecomastia, or enlarged male breasts, can be identified by a firm, disc-like tissue beneath the nipple, often with tenderness or pain. While diet and exercise can help with overall weight loss, they may not completely resolve gynecomastia if it's due to hormonal imbalances or glandular tissue growth. If you notice a firm, rubbery lump, or if it's accompanied by pain, swelling, or asymmetry, you should consult a doctor. Surgery, which can involve liposuction and tissue removal, is often the best option for addressing gynecomastia. Gynecomastia surgery in India can cost between Rs. 40,000 and Rs. 60,000,
