I got boobs

[Dani0948]

After my annual prostate exam, I mentioned to my urologist that I was experiencing some pain or extreme sensativity from a small mass under my right nipple. I have been on solution for several years and had been previously informed that it may cause breast growth. I then made an appointment with my regular doctor who set me up with a mammogram and a breast ultrasound. Later that afternoon I got a call from the nurse with the double good news. Everything was benign and I was diagnosed with gynocomastia. Oh and by the way, they also found a similar, but smaller mass under my left nipple (also benign).

Before I went for my exam, my wife said, "Now you'll get to see what it's really like to be a woman. The mammogram really hurts." Actually it wasn't painful at all.

My right breast is noticeably growing (maybe AA). The left one, not as much. Every morning in the shower, I look at lefty and say "Catch up to your sister."

[Crissy 107]

Dani, Good everything is benign and also nice to get some breast growth. You have me laughing talking to your left breast. :)

[Bea_]

Congrats on the boobs and wishing you continued healthy growth!

[docrobbysherry]

So, in other words, the solution was your solution, Dani!?:heehee:

[GretchenM]

I have gynecomastia as well and have grown a couple of nice but small boobs; left is a bit larger than the right. Between A and B cup size. That is normal with gynecomastia which can have multiple causes. Boobs developed when on Eligard for 6 months and another cancer drug to try destroying prostate cancer 3 1/2 years ago. The cancer came back and I am now on Firmagon androgen blocker and will continue blockage for a couple of years. Just started last month but have had a couple of instances of breast sensitivity. A sports bra and a thin foam pad takes care of that sensitivity by keeping anything from rubbing on them. The blocker has also wiped out most of my masculine characteristics that are testosterone driven leaving only neutral and feminine gender traits and what is left of the masculine which is not much. Nice in a way but it changes your personality and sense of self dramatically. Not a good way to get boobs, but it can work. Glad your suspected growths are only breast tissue developing under the areolas. That's OK, but keep a look out as that is where breast cancer can form most readily. (I talk to them as well, but as they don't have ears they don't listen.)

Just a friendly reminder.
Members need to refresh their memories about the rules on what can and can't be discussed on the forum.
OTC products are not allowed for discussion, which is why the "solution" is no longer named.
As per the rules too, moderated actions are not up for discussion either.

[CynthiaD]

Yeah, been there. I developed a 3mm lump in my left breast, and it terrified me. My doctor sent me for a mammogram and it turned out to be nothing. But, due to my age I’ve developed a hormone imbalance and have gynecomastia. Getting old isn’t all bad I guess. I have a B cup now, and noticeable breasts, even without forms. I was hoping for a DD or a DDD, but I guess that’s not in the cards.

The mammogram wasn’t exactly painful, but it wasn’t very pleasant either. If my breasts had been larger, I’m sure it would have hurt. The doctor asked me how often I checked my breasts, and I replied that I’d always thought I was the the sort of person that didn’t have to do that. But now I am, and I check at least once a week.

[Genifer Teal]

I'm beginning to feel I may have a growing issue down below. I would not "protest" the likely side effects of treatment. I will tell my doc upfront chest growth would be a desirable side effect. I think I've already told this one about my situation anyway. My previous urologist told me his daughter is trans (and unfortunately still depressed).

[alwayshave]

Dani, I'm glad that everything was benign. Congrats on the boobs.

[KristyPa]

Congrats and good on the tests.
I believe Ive read a article or two on men getting breast cancer recently.

I'm a nice A now do to I believe age and weight loss, who knows.

[Karren H]

Welcome to the boob club! Having them is amazing, most of the time.

[Kandi Robbins]

Your post made me smile. Same issue, enlarged prostate. Medication to solve one problem created breasts (not a bad thing for me).

Painful and hardened nipples all the time. And yes, the girls are asymmetrical. I would prefer them to be the same size, even if they were the smaller size. I feel lopsided......

[Heather76]

I take a full battery of meds. Unfortunately, breast growth doesn't seem to be a side effect of any of them. I'd love to grow a nice pair of boobs. I envy those of you who have been able to grow them.

[Visitor]

I first came to this webiste after spending a fair amount of time online with men discussing gynecomastia and the reality breasts are growing on our chests. The struggle for many was whether the decision to wear a brassiere meant the men were "crossdressing." That was a bridge too far for many but our conversation soon moved to the reality developing curves made shopping on the woman's side of the aisle sensible. Diminishing testosterone seems to allow estrogen to have her way with us, so rounding curves, more relaxed mood, diminishing body hair all come with the territory. I completely fill the C cups of my 42" brassiere. Interestingly, the conversation has led to discussions about transgender possibilities. One person transitioned a few years ago. Another is so fond of women's clothes that I encouraged them to check out this website. I will fully acknowledge being non-binary, transgendered but not transitioning. My breasts are quite voluptuous and I'm happy about that... even though I have no intention to flaunt that fact outside my home.

I'm glad there is nothing wrong with you chest. Since you've been here a few years I can imagine the thought of having real breasts is exciting for you. I've wanted them since I first put on a brassiere when I was 12 years old... and now I have them. Amazing how our bodies change over a lifetime. Enjoy yourself. You might want to buy a new brassiere... that always gives me pleasure... :cheer:

[Kirsten1]

Overall I have gynecomastia and have seem to have had it all my life. i can fit into a bra with a C cup and fill it just fine. While where I am in life I cannot fully dress. I can wear a bra under my sweatshirt and stuff but it is fun and comfortable but I sad I cannot fully dress.

[IwishIwasTracy]

I too have been blessed with b cup sized breasts. Having boobs is awesome. I find that wearing a bra not only feels better I feel more pulled together. About the only time I am not wearing a bra is when I am at work. If it is going to be a quiet day where not many people will be in the office I will wear a bra on those days.

Tracy

[Betty70]

For me, the bust is primarily a torment.

When I crossdress, yes, there is no need to use any inserts, the bras look almost like on the model, whose picture appears on the box.

But these are only moments.

But when you're a man and have breasts of size 40C, you have to somehow hide it under the shirt, you have a big problem.
Especially in the summer.

Lately I've been trying to slim down.
I'm just afraid if the boobs will decrease in proportion to the rest.
If not, it will be even worse, and in the summer it will probably be easiest to become a woman and start parading in dresses, blouses and skirts:)

[Karren H]

I got tired of hiding mine last year when not dressed enfemme and so I just pretty much stopped. Even in summer but what I do not do is flaunt them either. I have found a place that sells heavier weight tee shirts and do a pretty good job compared to most very light weight ones they sell everywhere. It is hard to hide 36DDs (44 inch bust, 36 inch underbust).

[Jillcder]

Im not nearly the women Karren is but I definitely wear a swim shirt when in the water I also cross my arms over my chest when I get out the wet shirt clings tight and really displays my extra growth. It would be so much easier to just wear a cute I piece with a swim skirt!

[Sasha_inside]

Glad to hear everything was OK, and welcome to the gyno/breast club.

I had a B cup all through high school and am currently a D cup. I wear tshirts when swimming and don't go topless outside for obvious reasons, was never really able to. Having boobs in high school in the 80's was ... an experience.

My gf in high school did a double take the first time she saw me with my shirt off and pointed out that my boobs were bigger than hers - she was a solid A cup. Ah, fun times, fun times.
Don't get me wrong, she wasn't mean about it, it was more of an observation than anything else. She looked at me, looked down at her chest, looked back at me and made the comment. It made for an interesting afternoon of conversation.

That said it is fun having them, enjoy them. :)

[valerie anne]

It's lovely to be so heavy & wobbly! I feel so feminine.

I thought that I was a D cup, but I am now a full double D.

I am wearing maternity bras, which give lots of side lift, deep back bands, wide straps and lots of projection with the cups folded down. If I get too heavy, i clip up the cups of the bra.

I've got real boobs and the bra straps to prove it!

[DianeT]

Many of the young males I see nowadays are assiduously frequenting the gym clubs to, I suppose, resemble the young kings of Game of Thrones. Many also seem to have an obsession for pecs, so much so than to my generation it seems more like they grew boobs than pectorals.
There, you have the solution. Go to the gym clubs and use the butterfly devices.

[DaniHanna]

where did you find the heavy t-shirts? do they have a web site?

thanks

When I'm in male mode (which is not often) I don't try to hide my DD boobs. And yes, as a man I wear dresses most of the time.
And I have a bass singing voice. Does that make me a Busty Basso? :) :) :)

John

[NancySue]

I?m not sure why, but I?m definitely a full a cup, almost a b cup, which is my preference. All my bras are underwires so comfortable. Around the house, I usually wear a b cup. Going out, I usually switch to an a cup. Yes, I love all aspects of wearing a bra, selection, color, putting on, scooping, strap adjustments, etc.

[valerie anne]

Karren and JohnH are both DD cup.

I am a 36 D cup and claiming promotion to DD.

Any larger girls out there?

[JohnH]

And perhaps in gym class you were unlucky enough to wind up on the Skins (shirtless) team for basketball.

John

[valerie anne]

"Shirts or skins", you have brought back my teenage horror scenario!

I have always been heavy and have worn a bra from about the age of 14. I think my mum knew after my aunt remarked that "he needs support". And I really did on exercises like cross-country runs when I used to cup my left breast.

I raided my mum's bra drawer and kept my own stash. I was at least one cup size smaller. But these were cotton bras with little stretch in the band or straps.

So I wore them really tight and got deep bra strap grooves.

The lottery was always with the PT class on Wednesday and the real possibility of being topless (skins), how late in the week could I risk being brassiered and caught with bra strap marks?

[StefanieR]

Very cool! I recently went bigger. now E or F most of the time.

[ChristinaMichelle]

After going for a fitting I was shocked to realize that I was a 40 D, thanks to gynecomastia...

I had been convinced I was a larger band with an A or B cup but, when she pulled out a few different styles and checked her tape measure she smiled and said, a 40D is going to be perfect!

Congratulations, and glad to hear it's not a health concern!

[Kelli_cd]

This is why a proper fitting is so important!

[SissyHema]

I have been hiding my boobs since I was a teen. Imagine an 11 year old barely 60 pounds with size A breasts. It was horror growing up. I spent years in the gym working out to try and reduce their size or totally get rid of them but to no avail. I got bigger, 240 pounds of muscle mass with huge arms, chest and back muscles but the breasts got bigger too. In the summer I wear super sized T-shirts to hide them but it doesn't really work so most of the time I am in heavy sweatshirts even when it's over 30C outside. I also avoid T-shirts with top front buttons, they tend to accentuate the B cup breasts.

[JohnH]

I tried on a white cotton and linen dress yesterday to wear to church. Unfortunately the dress which otherwise fit me was too tight in the bust area so I had to wear a different white dress that I wore on Easter. I never thought a dress would be too tight in the bust to accommodate my DD bra cup size. (White or gold are the colors for the Easter season with the Episcopalian (Anglican) tradition.)

I told a woman that I could not wear the cotton and linen dress as it is too snug in the chest area. She said, "That not a bad problem to have".
And then I told my mother of the problem with that dress and she told me she never had that problem as her bra cup size is C.

John

[Laura28]

I am a full 38C. I love them my wife loves them but it is tough in the summer. Also dress shirts and sport jackets are a pain have to have tailored.

[SylphDevine]

I wear a waist trainer under whatever else I'm wearing, and that does the job nicely. Wearing a bra and filling it up has really changed how I feel when I dress up. Especially with some of the dresses I've been buying lately.

It's a new and lovely experience.

[valerie anne]

Once you have got heavy boobs and large nipples, an underwired maternity bra is a good investment.


I'm getting lots of side support from my deep 4 hook band and lots of lift from the wide straps. I've got room in the cups for my silicone nipple shields.

[KristyPa]

While washing bed cloths today, checking out this site I checked my size I haven't recently. I always buy 38B bras and use an extender. I thought I was an A, I'm very happy to find I'm a B. I lost weight recently but not my breasts.
Now back to losing more weight.

[Meg]

My first post. I have wanted breasts since trying on a bra when quite young. I am able to now fill a B cup but would like bigger. Wearing an under bust shaper seems to help "Bring out the best in me" and am hoping will also help "train" growth in them. As I am not "out" and mainly dress at home, I am not sure how to deal with them if I do get more growth.

[Celee]

I am too big for an a cup but not enough for a b cup yet. I have been growing ever since the doctor prescribed new meds for me. Growing slowly but slow and steady wins the race right?

[Dani0948]

Wow! Almost 13,000 views (the most I ever got). I now feel a little like a pubescent girl waiting and hoping. It reminds me of the chant - "We must, we must, we must increase our bust."

Lefty is slowly catching up, but both are still AA at best.

[Rhonda Darling]

More to the chant:

"We must, we must, we must increase our bust. The bigger the better, the tighter the sweater. We must increase our bust."

[Meg]

Let me first apologize for mentioning that I am so happy you are well. I have previously said that I am not out and only dress at home. Well, that seems to be changing. I have started to go shopping in male mode but while wearing a bra and under bust shaper. What an experience. It is very obvious that I have breasts when dressed like this even if they are only 42B. I have purposely selected shirts that show off my breasts. I have not had any comments or negative interactions. Either people are too busy to notice, or perhaps times are changing and people are becoming more accepting. I have to admit I really do love the feel of the bra and bouncy weight of my boobs while walking. Now if I can only get some more growth. Might need to seek some prescription help. Mmmm.

[Abby-Becca]

That made me laugh, talking to your left boob and telling it to catch up to its sister.

I have done the same thing. I am on HRT and when the right one started to get painful and start growing but the left one, stubbornly remained flat, I was telling lefty off too. It's now started growing thankfully. The gender clinic have recommended that I start going for regular mammograms too and, I agree, that it is a good idea.

[Dani0948]

Another WOW! over 15,000 views. Our community is bigger than I thought.

[Olivia J. Robinson]

Dani, I confess to a wee touch of envy-jealousy.
Good luck.

I have to smile as I revisit this lovely thread. The conversation parallels the many I've participated in at gynecomastia.org. The men there are delighted to share photos of their breasts held in their most recent brassiere purchase. We speak fondly about our journey on the "estrogen highway." We don't talk about "crossdressing" but wearing panties suits many of these men who also wear women's jeans and blouses simply because they fit better our increasingly curvaceous bodies. Gender fluidity seems to be in the nature of the game but what is most exciting for these men is finding a brassiere that shows off our breasts. I wear a brassiere most of the time at home now as my breasts seem to continue growing. In male mode I need to wear a dark blue tee shirt with an unbuttoned over-shirt. Even then the fullness of my breasts can be discerned if anyone is really paying attention. I'm stacked! :eek:

[Natalie5004]

I am filling my 42 B bras completely. I feeling of having breasts that need some support is wonderful. I was riding my motorcycle a few weeks ago and I hit a small bump and I felt my boobs bounce. That was different.

So far the only comment I had a the public swimming pool was from a woman said, " I can tell you are cold". I do have some projection in my nips. And I was cold just getting out of the pool into the cool night air.

I am very excited to see if I can grow more volume. I think I can. And I am not on any meds or chemicals.

[Celee]

A couple of nights ago my wife and I were getting ready for bed and she said something naughty to me. She likes to tease me. I had my shirt off and she says I can see you like that. It is summertime so I couldn?t say I was cold.

[JohnH]

Recently I ordered 2 dresses from Amazon. I had to send them back. Guess what? They were too snug in the chest area with my bra cup size of DD.

John

[Dani0948]

Update:
My breasts are continuing to grow, although rather slowly (maybe a small a cup). Lefty is still lagging behind. The sensitivity is gone and I still encourage the girls to keep up the good work.

[Sometimes Steffi]

I just looked up the causes of gynecomastia

When you develop glandular tissue in your breasts—as opposed to fat tissue—it's called gynecomastia. The culprits behind full-fledged man boobs largely have to do with your hormones.

"The [development] of extra breast tissue occurs when you have relatively lower testosterone levels or relatively higher estrogen levels."

I guess it should have been obvious.

[Nikkilovesdresses]

I have to say, this is one of the most intriguing threads I can remember reading here.

I'm totally in love with my little boobs and very slowly, my nipples are growing. My entire life I couldn't stand them being touched, but that's changed completely.

I started buying panty/bra sets fairly recently... joy.

[valerie anne]

I'm trying for more breast weight.

I'm up there with 36 D cup, even 36DD cups, but I always feel so pert. I want to sag!

I've been wearing Bardot tops without a bra to avoid strap marks, and the boob weight & volume has been really noticeable after a few hours of moving about.

I find that I am cradling my left breast inside my top.

[Dani0948]

Another quick update. Breast growth has really slowed down (maybe stopped - Sigh). At least the tenderness is gone and I'm not feeling the mass behind my nipples.

Wow! Over 28,000 views.

[DaniRost]

I can commiserate with much being said here - guys with boobs. I have always had boobs. The constant torment in gym class, "you're bigger than my mom." And whoever invented shirts and skins should be staked out over an anthill. But it did help with crossdressing - tee hee.

I'm a 44 D to DD. It amazes me the differences in bras. I'm a coward so I buy mostly used on line (Poshmark and eBay). After a car accident I had a lump that wouldn't go away. They did a mammogram (not fun with big boobs- they smash the crap out of you). It was nothing. Seat belt caught on my boob and about ripped it off. Small issue.

I absolutely love bras. If I could I have have one for every day of the year. LOL.

[Jane G]

Simply jealous.

[Susan_Michaela]

I too have gynecomastia. I think it was around the first of this year I too had to go and get a mammogram for the first time when I told my family physician I found two lumps both were on my right breast but they?re just cysts and they suggested I get checked every two years. I was a 38C and pain wasn?t terrible getting smashed in the X-ray machine this time. I?ve had many GG friends say how much it hurt I can only imagine being bigger that that. One of my best friends is a 44 double G and she always hated to go so much. I hope I don?t grow too much more as I?ve widened out to a 38D now. I?m happy there I think I?ll be ok so long as I don?t gain too many pounds especially with the holidays coming up lol

- - - Updated - - -

DaniHanna

I?m not certain for sure anymore but JC Penney always used to carry thick white t-shirts for men they?re or were heavy duty.

[Genifer Teal]

An update on my growing situation mostly down below the medication. I was taking was already at the maximum, so there's not going to be any increase in growth above as a side effect. I was more looking forward to the side effects, then the actual intended benefit.

The whole wobbly thing or feeling off-balance. I don't know. Maybe i'm too used to them, or maybe because there silicone, there's less movement? I've never felt i've experienced this. I don't think 34-D is small. That's the same size I've ever had. I mostly just feel the weight when they're on. It's not even that much.I mean, not that much different, it's about four pounds combined. I've never really felt the change in mass or movement.

[Dani0948]

Update - Growth seems to have stopped (maybe a or aa). Although I try to encourage the girls, they don't seem to be listening.

[Linda E. Woodworth]

Hey Girl,

I was diagnosed with gynocomastia earlier this month. I've already grown out to a full "B" cup.

While I haven't done anything to encourage this it does feel nice to actually fill out a bra.

[Charla]

I found a compression clothing website (tomboyx) that sells compression bras. They compress my 46B?s so that they are unnoticeable with Columbia quick dry shirts and some old navy t-shirts.

[Natalie5004]

Compression? Why do that? I like them out and about. Even in man mode.

[BrendaPDX]

Thank you for sharing your good news! I love the "Catch up to your sister" Thanks again for making me smile.

[Aroara Xanthemae]

Has there ever been any adverse or negative effects of getting Gynecomastia

[CynthiaD]

Yes, I love this topic. One of my biggest problems has been with white satin blouses. They are often too tight to be worn with forms. Since developing shapely breasts, this is no longer a problem. I can go braless in a white satin top and still look distinctly feminine. I have permanently erect nipples, which makes my natural boobs even more noticeable.
