I was doing some reading and came across something interesting--not that it would apply--but you never know.

It turns out that anti psychotic medication can lead to breast enlargement. See, antipsychotics (many typicals) are hihgly effective dopamine blockers. So what is the relationship btw dopamine and boobs? Well, prolactin is the hormone that is involved with the development of the breast. It is released by the hypothalamus. Dopamine bascily prevents its release. So when there is no dopamine, there is no blocking of prolactin's action and this can lead to boob development. Interesting huh?

Oh my, gynecomastia? I did some research on that condition and its a lot more severe than what i think we were talking about(what i was talking about, at least) O.o. What i'm talking about targets the nipples alone. Everything els is in the right proportion. Surgery may be an option, but my physition was pretty confident when he explained to me that it would reverse itself before my 20's.

Well am bout 17 5'8 and i wieght 165-175 pounds. I do too have it. Am not sure if it has to do with your genetics or if your just fat. I am sort of fat and got a bit of man boobs. Am sure it'll go away sooner or later, its prob just hormones and shyt.

if you dont like your nipples showing through your shirts, do what i say;

• go to your doctor and tell them your problem
• ask for a reference to a plastic surgeon
• tell the plastic surgeon your problem and ask them to fix it for you
• if they say they cant, dont stop until you find one that will do it

by the way, there isnt much pain afterwards and if you get what your looking for, its so worth it.

if you dont get what you want, go back and get it re done.

my nipples stuck through my shirts so much, and they were always erect.

i had on surgery and that did sh*t... and the doc was the best in my state :|

i went to another doc, he did a good job, but he didnt do exactly as i wanted. and they still showed through my shirt and became erect (i asked to stop my nipples from becoming erect again via cutting nerve endings)

i still havnt got what i want, and i dont feel comfortable wearing one shirt just yet, so im going back in to get it fixed again. it better work, im getting really annoyed with it, 6 years is a long time dont ya think

but yeh , im just rambling

the only way to get it fixed is by surgery

once you get what you want, you need to keep ur body toned, so there can be no chance of it ever happening again

to all of you out there with the same sort of problem as me, i truly hope you get yours fixed to how you want it. i know what its like, its annoying and embarrassing, and unfair that most other people go through it


oh, i guess the other thing i can tell you that has been helping me on my way

dont let anyone tell you that you dont need it, or once you get it done, that its fine.

ITS PERFECT WHEN YOU SAY IT IS!! AND THATS THAT.

dont let anyone stop you from being happy.

ive got another appointment tomorrow. hopefully ill book another date for surgery and be over this horror forever, i really want to live

Will you boys stop worrying about your nipples? Nipples come in all shapes and sizes, just like ears and noses. It's completely normal for nipples to be different sizes on different men.

Well thanks for that, it was exactly what we all needed to hear. It seems as though we are all confident lads but that confidence gets destroyed whenever we are on the beach or in the changing rooms or whatever!!! It's easy for someone that hasn't experienced it to just tell us to stop moaning and get a life but the attached socail stigma can be excruciatingly embarassing.



Same as you guys. 14 years old, both nips and it is just horrible :(

My friends :( you may have something called "gynecomastia". In middle/high school this is commonly referred to as "b***h tits." Don't listen to people that tell you "it will just go away." It will not go away on its own. It is also not fat. It is actual breast tissue (mammary gland). Its exactly the same as a woman's breast (although typically smaller). Cause: high estrogen levels during puberty.

What can you do about it? Well, if you have no money....not much... Plastic surgery is a good alternative (this is what i did).

O the torrment of the boys locker room. I too played sports : basket ball and wrestling.

In my completly biased opinion, i think its the most immasculating disease for men, especially if you are not over weight. I was never overweight so it looked ridiculous-- sknny guy with boobs.

My advice--get the surgery as soon as you can. It was very painful, but very worth it. On the plus side: the low self confidence i developed as a student helped me develop a very personable non cocky attitude. Now that i have a six pack and am built...i am personable and non cocky..girls like this :-D.

Good luck guys....but yeah...definetly gynecomastia.



^that is a heap of sh*t..
all wrong.. different thing alltogether and is only common in overweight people of any age with high eosrogen levels..


wat u dudes got, is normal in tall people or overweight people.. but it isnt "b***h tits" f**k surgery... u dont want scars.. just wait a while eventually they will go..

that quote was absolutely the wrong thing altogether.. if theres bubles under um they aint b***h tits.. b***h tits are like little boobs.. bigger than wat we got.. which only involves our nipples..

Hey, I started when I was 12 and they were quite big at first but my older brother had them and some of my mates did, but not I have just it on my right nipple and increadibly huge, I'm worried it's a tumour or somethingt because of the size. I'm really worried. I don't know if I should go get checked out. I'm in good shape btw Athletic/boxer.
