Man Boobs - Page 2

I have read (seriously) that smoking too much pot can cause them

here are other causes: There are several potential causes:

puberty
steroid abuse (bitch tits)
obesity
marijuana use (this is in question)
tumors
genetic disorders
chronic liver disease
side effects of many medications
castration
Klinefelter Syndrome
Gilbert's Syndrome
aging

My father lacteted as a side effect from medication once. We'd make fun of his single boob. Didn't last long, he got regular man pecs back soon, but it was pretty amusing.

LMFAO! I have friends with man boobs bigger than my tiny tits. One of my college budddies got his nick-name temporarily changed from "Chinês" (Chinese) to Pam Anderson, once we saw him playing soccer with his shirt off.

I think I'm going to start smoking pot and do all those other things that have been stated as some causes for 'breast' growth! But the only guys I've seen with these so called 'man boobs' are overweight, so it all comes back to the whole 'breasts are fat' idea, and the more weight on your body, the more weight on your chest.

If men had tits, they wouldn't be so obsessed with them. As 'boob-man' Jerry Seinfeld says, "why would i be a leg man, i have legs".

AND IT'S EMBARRASSING!!

Can anyone give a few suggestions for "my friend" on how to get rid of them?

Without the gym?

Yes, gynecomastia can be embarrassing. Here is a video of one of my patients discussing the emotion and stress of living with his Gynecomastia.

Gynecomastia happens in over 60% of all men. Puffy Nipples is a common lay term for gynecomastia. Gynecomastia can have many causes and options depend on the problem to be treated. Such issues are best explored with a doctor experienced with the problem.

Hope this helps,

I have the slightest case of puffy nipples but even when they're not puffy I've noticed they are a bit unfit-looking. Which is a giant relief. That means that if I just tone up a little bit I won't look too bad. *wipes forehead* Thank God!
Oh and thanks for that link, Dr. Bermant. It was a very interesting read.

The scariest thing about that was reading through all the links and the before/after male nipple reductions and the like and not seeing that much of a difference in the before and afters. Have we become so vain as a society that we have to endlessly tweak normal bodies into something else entirely?
