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."

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

Congrats on the boobs and wishing you continued healthy growth!

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

"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?

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.

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.

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.

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).

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!

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.

[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.

[Natalie5004]

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

[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.

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.

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...

[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.
