I'm really worried about something, and I hope you can help. I've noticed that my chest is developing in a way that looks like a female breast, and it's getting me quite stressed. I'm really hoping to find a solution for this, but I would prefer not to have surgery. Also, I've picked up a habit of masturbating twice a day, and I really want to stop doing it altogether. Any advice on how I can deal with these issues?

I've had hard lumps in my chest since I was a kid, and I recently read online that it could be gynecomastia or just chest fat. I'm really confused and worried about this. How can I tell if it's actually gynecomastia or just chest fat? Also, is there any way to treat gynecomastia naturally? I'm really stressed about this because surgery and pills seem way too expensive for me. I feel embarrassed around my friends and it's affecting my mood. Can you give me some advice?
