I've been into sports and bodybuilding for the last couple of years, but I've noticed my nipples getting puffy and it's making me really self-conscious, especially when wearing t-shirts. I think it might be gynecomastia. Are there any medications that can help reduce this, or would I need surgery? If surgery is the only option, how much does it usually cost?

Puffy nipples, often a sign of gynecomastia, can be a source of self-consciousness. While medications can sometimes help, surgery is often the most effective solution. Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction, involves removing excess breast tissue and fat. The cost of surgery in India can range from approximately ‚Çπ38,000 to ‚Çπ70,000, but varies depending on factors like the severity of the condition and the surgeon's experience
