Question

I've had what looks like man boobs for about 10 years now and I'm 22. I read online it might be gynaecomastia since I can feel a hard lump under my nipples when I press them. I've been hitting the gym for 2 months but it's still there. How can I confirm if it's really gynaecomastia and are there ways to fix it without surgery? It's making me a bit depressed thinking about going under the knife

It's possible you have gynaecomastia, which is the development of breast tissue in males. A hard lump under the nipple is a common symptom, and it's often caused by hormonal imbalances. While exercise can help reduce overall fat, it may not directly target the breast tissue itself. You can confirm it with a doctor's examination, and various non-surgical treatments can be explored
