Gynecomastia and its effects on HRT

[Recursive Paradox]

I'm slowly starting to realize that I might have Gynecomastia due to the fact that my breasts are already nearly a Tanner II level and I'm pre hormones.

What I was wondering (and I haven't been able to find good sources on this) is whether Gynecomastia actually benefits HRT's breast growth effects or if it has no effect at all.

I doubt it would slow it or harm it.

Anyone have any idea?

I know someone else that had ... erm... some development before they were even out, and then after hormones boobs were like OMGZ fast.. surprised them actually. So judging just by that personal experience, it quite possibly helped breast development

I'll pm ya details as to protect the identities of the innocent ..

I think gynocomastia is an indication of either higher body fat -> larger breasts most the time.

Or sensitivity to estrogen / too much estrogen.

I dont know the mechanics microscopic nor how the size is determined on a genetic level, but I would think that it would increase size, just guessing. I know age will increase size. A teenager will grow almost full size vs older. Because the hormone triggers/receptors degrade, become insensitive, and decrease.

I saw a documentary on Gynomastia last night. It's not just fatty man boobs, there is actual female breast tissue development going on. They said it was usually caused by a hormone inbalance.

My guess is having gynomastia could only give you a head start on things.

I would agree with Nicole and say that it may aid you in breast growth, and indicate sensitivity or hormone imbalance.

Ive had Gynomastia since i was a teenager and it was coursed by an inbalance in hormones through my teenage years and as you can guess not an easy thing to live with then, but every negative as a positive so i now have an a cup before i start. there is a difference between fatty man boobs and proper breast development tissue, which hormones give. i dont know if this means that im more suseptable to estrogen or not you would need bloods done to find out your levels.

Yeah, gynomastia is actual breast tissue. I had it from the time I was 11 until I was 13, when I got breast reduction surgery (more at the behest of my parents than anything else. I was happy to just wear big sweaters, but my dad, who had needed similar reduction earlier, didn't want me to suffer through the embarrasment it causes.)

Not to derail the thread or anything, but would having a significant portion of my breast tissue removed be a big problem if I were to get HRT?

[Recursive Paradox]

It would only really derail breast development in HRT, so if you wanted breast development then it could cause some problems with getting adequate growth.

If you didn't care much about breast development it shouldn't be a problem since it wouldn't interfere with anything else.

I've always had pretty noticeable breasts (if I'm wearing a tight shirt, at least). If that would actually give me an advantage in terms of breast growth from HRT? Awesome!

Is it kosher to post pics on here or not? I can show y'all what I already have... ha ha.

Yup. We eve have this.

I forgot about this thread.

As an amusing update, I actually got some surprisingly rapid growth from HRT. Within a span of about two point five months, I worked myself up to a full 36A cup in development. So I guess gynecomastia might actually benefit it, maybe.

I guess that that answers the question. Awesome!

Also: *is jealous*

I have had ten or eleven years of HRT and am still a 36A. Imagine how you will turn out in a few years.

Knowing my family tree, I'll probably overshoot the ideal 36b~36c and go straight into d cups. x_x

Those are a pain. 0_0

Well, maybe less so to those who want them. I don't think they're so bad, if breasts are your thing you could get by without too many problems, I think. Eh, it's hard for me to have an unbiased opinion. :/

I want to have breasts and I'm happy with I got, but I definitely don't want D's... x_x

yay! this is reassuring!

Hello, I'm new here - posted my intro already in the intro forum, so you can go read that if you want.

Reading this thread makes me excited. Seeing that i'm suffering from some major Gynecomastia due to my being obese, I'm looking forward to some quick breast development if I can get started on HRT (and i'm trying to lose weight at the same time). My biggest concern though, is while I am not sure of my ultimate intentions just yet, I want to try HRT to see how it makes me feel emotionally. As i've stated in my introduction, i'm not 100% sure if I really truly want to transition yet, so I am therefore worried what kind of effect having sizeable breasts will have on living and working as a male. I'll probably have to end up binding while at work. And even more worrying, is the fact that i'm afraid that I'll jump into a size that's way too large for my liking.

Here's another question: What is the policy for this forum regarding topless pictures? I would like to take a picture of how advanced my gynecomastia is in my 100% male/non-HRT body. I know there's a thread that has people's images, but they're all 100% worksafe. While I expect that most people would see such an image as educational more than "porn", I want to be sure that I'm not going to break any rules by showing off my tits.

I consider this medically clinical, not pornographic, so here they are, in all their glory, my HRT hoohas- woowoo:



I am about a year HRT now, so it's time for another picture. I don't think much has changed lately, but I can tell you, Toto, they ain't pecs no more.

Breasts are basically fat. I'm a 5' 11" 146 pound beanpole so all I have are mosquito bites. Hands down the most factual article I have seen MTF breast development:

Dr. Curtis sums it up nicely:
For those who wish bigger breasts, save your money, reduce the side effects and longer term risk
and just eat more pies.

I think i might be a tanner III, though without areolas. Maybe more of a tanner 2.5. Not really sure if its fat or actual tissue though. hears to hoping
