35-Year-Old Man Keller, TX Man Self-Conscious about His Gynecomastia (Man Boobs)

This 35-year-old male was much heavier as a youth and with hard work, slimmed down. He suffered debilitating embarrassment from his gynecomastia when his weight was at its greatest. Subsequently, the gynecomastia improved, however, for unexplained reasons, it has returned over the past four years. Like many men with gynecomastia, the patient was embarrassed and felt shame to the point that he refused to remove his shirt in intimate moments or even at the pool or where other people might see him. To make matters worse, he was too uncomfortable to discuss his gynecomastia with anyone and so he suffered thinking he is the only man with this problem. Gynecomastia is surprisingly common so don't be this man!
