Gynaecomastia doesn’t discriminate—it can affect athletes, professionals, and students alike.
This is Vivaan’s story, one I see reflected in many patients who walk into my clinic seeking clarity and confidence.

How Can Gynaecomastia Affect a Confident Young Man?

Gynaecomastia can abruptly damage self-esteem, trigger social anxiety, and deeply affect mental well-being—even in athletic, successful men.

Vivaan’s Story: From Cricket Star to Self-Doubt

In 2019, Vivaan was the star batsman of Jai Hind College—tall, lean, and admired.
After a winning inter-collegiate match, a rival mocked his chest in front of everyone.
One cruel comment, public laughter—and Vivaan’s confidence collapsed.

He later admitted that his chest enlargement began after using anabolic steroids to gain muscle faster—something many young athletes experiment with, unaware of the hormonal consequences.

Dr. Milan Doshi’s Tip:
I often remind young men—shortcuts in fitness can come at a long-term physical and emotional cost.

Gynaecomastia is the enlargement of male breast glandular tissue due to hormonal imbalance, not just excess fat.

Important distinctions:

  • Glandular tissue feels firm or rubbery

  • Can affect one or both sides

  • Does not respond fully to exercise or dieting

  • Different from pseudogynaecomastia (fat-only chest)

In my clinical experience, this distinction is critical—misdiagnosis delays proper treatment.

Gynaecomastia occurs when estrogen activity outweighs testosterone, stimulating breast gland growth.

Common causes I see in practice:

  • Anabolic steroids or supplements

  • Puberty-related hormonal changes

  • Certain medications (anti-androgens, antidepressants)

  • Alcohol or marijuana use

  • Medical conditions (liver, thyroid disorders, tumours)

Dr. Milan Doshi’s Tip:
If breast enlargement persists beyond 6–12 months, it rarely resolves without medical intervention.

Beyond appearance, gynaecomastia can lead to anxiety, avoidance, depression, and loss of identity.

Many men report:

  • Avoiding sports, swimming, or gyms

  • Wearing oversized clothing to hide the chest

  • Fear of ridicule or judgment

  • Withdrawal from relationships and social circles

Vivaan stopped celebrating wins, skipped matches, and distanced himself from friends—something I unfortunately see all too often.

Yes. When glandular tissue is present, surgery is the only permanent and reliable treatment.

Procedure overview:

  • Removal of excess glandular tissue

  • Liposuction if excess fat is present

  • Small, discreet incisions

  • Daycare surgery with quick recovery

Recovery & results:

  • Light activities: 5–7 days

  • Gym & sports: 4–6 weeks

  • Immediate chest flattening

  • Long-lasting, confidence-restoring results

Dr. Milan Doshi’s Tip:
A well-done gynecomastia surgery should make the chest look natural—not “operated.”

Choosing the right surgeon ensures:

  • Correct diagnosis (fat vs gland)

  • Symmetry and nipple positioning

  • Minimal scarring

  • Safe anaesthesia and recovery

As Dr. Milan Doshi, I’ve treated thousands of such cases—many involving athletes and young men—focusing equally on physical results and emotional healing.

Q1. Can gynaecomastia go away on its own?

Ans. Sometimes during puberty. Long-standing or steroid-related cases usually need surgery.

Q2. Is gynaecomastia surgery painful?

Ans. No pain during surgery due to anaesthesia. Mild post-op discomfort is manageable.

Q3. How long does recovery take?

Ans. Most patients resume routine work in a week and sports in 4–6 weeks.

Q4. Are the results permanent?

Ans. Yes, if steroid use is stopped and weight remains stable.

Q5. Will there be visible scars?

Ans. Scars are minimal and usually fade significantly with proper care.

Conclusion

Vivaan’s story is a powerful reminder that gynaecomastia is not about weakness—it’s about biology.
The condition can silently derail confidence, ambition, and joy.

The good news?
With the right diagnosis and surgery, men reclaim not just their chest—but their identity.

If you’re struggling silently, remember:
You’re not alone, and effective solutions exist.
