View allCan gynecomastia be treated without surgery and does it really cause infertility in men who have it
Gynecomastia, or enlarged male breast tissue, can sometimes be treated without surgery, particularly in cases of mild or early-stage gynecomastia, or when it's caused by excess body fat (pseudogynecomastia). However, more severe or glandular-based gynecomastia often requires surgical intervention. While gynecomastia itself doesn't directly cause infertility, a hormonal imbalance that contributes to gynecomastia can sometimes also affect fertility.

I'm 17 and a guy, and I've been masturbating every day since I was 15, but I've cut back now. I'm a bit worried if this might have caused a rise in my prolactin levels, leading to low testosterone. Could this also be why I'm not growing much of a beard?
Excessive masturbation does not directly cause an increase in prolactin levels, which can affect testosterone production. However, chronic stress or certain medications can lead to elevated prolactin levels. To help regulate testosterone levels and promote beard growth, you can consider taking supplements like zinc and vitamin D. Additionally, maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise routine can also support hormone balance.
