Hello,

It is may be seen in 40-50% of males may experience some of the time experience gynecomastia. There is no need for surgery, you have to get it done thyroid profile, hormonal levels.

Drugs like tomoxifen they are using according to weight. So don't worry it is curable condition please consult with your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
