Any of you guys ever have Gynecomastia a/k/a "bitch tits"?  Did you get them cut out?

A buddy of mine is getting his cut out later this week. It seems like a very drastic thing to do, since they really aren't that obvious.

I had it when I was playing football in college, the doc told me it was the result of all the NSAID's I was taking combined with the repeating impacts from hitting.  You couldn't see them but you could feel them and when I got hit it would get sore. I got them removed and was glad I did although if your buddy wasn't getting hit constantly it might not be worth it.

Doc said as soon as the season was over and I was off the motrin and stuff it would go away but I didn't want to wait that long.  If it's hurting him I'd have them cut out, or if he's had them a long time I'd have them removed but if he hasn't had it long, I'd wait. Also make sure he's not taking NSAID's like motrin or aleve and make sure he's not going overboard on calcium and stuff. We were getting calcium supplements and that also agravated it.

crash.

It's also a symptom of long-term marijuana use.

I've had hard tissue under my nips since i was a teen. Sadly, the only cure is likly plastic surgery (which i will undergo Aug 21). It will cost me $3,400, but being as though i am still young, and have the body of a underwear model, it will be more than worth it.
