I have had it since i was about 16 years old. It hasn't gone away so i believe surgery is the only way. My problem is what effect will surgery have on me. Will i be able to still workout after surgery and will i still be able to build my chest up. I have good genetics and my uncles are all massive and have been lifting for ever. I don't want this to crush my goals of building a quality physique. Does this also mean i'll never be able to take prohormones later in life if i decide after the surgery? And could my Gyno be hurting me know in body building. Should i get the surgery done as soon as possible or should i wait till i've reached the physique i want? It is also terribly embarrasing to have gynocomastia being that i've never done steroids or any either type of hormone.

I would guess not shure since I am not an expert! that a small lump in your chest will affect your development. True gyno is a feminization of the male chest. This can be caused by genetics,obesity and steroids. Here is a link about male reduction surgery http://www.plasticsurgery4u.com/procedure_folder/male_breast.html I also wonder why you are so set on taking prohormones? There are allot of big guy's out there that built from hard work the natural way!!!!! I hope you find what you are seeking Mike -------------- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it is gone past me I will turn to see fear's path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain
