Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No need to worry about this. Gynecomastia is basically a hormonal disease. Most common cause for this is hormonal imbalance (more of estrogen and less of testosterone). So in my opinion, you should definitely consult endocrinologist and get done clinical examination and hormone levels to rule out hormonal imbalance. If imbalance is there then you have to take hormone therapy to balance them. In Bangalore consult Columbia Asia hospital. It is having good endocrine department. Don't feel shy. This is treatable. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
