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.
