I have given myself the "pinch test" and I can't really tell if I have firm masses under my nipples or not, it mostly feels squishy like in the pseudo pic. At the same time, my nipples do seem to protrude out somewhat. I gained a lot of weight in the last few years, both fat and muscle due to being on zoloft and smoking weed. I've since quit both. I know they can cause gyno in some cases but more commonly contribute to weight gain.
Can a general practitioner accurately diagnose gyno or is it too specialized of a medical issue? Is an Endocrinologist or dermatologist better to go to? I'm worried a plastic surgeon just wants to sell me surgery so I wouldn't want to go to one of them first.
bra size?

Go to a doctor, you can have a consultation with a surgeon and find out. I had proper gyno, had the surgery when I was 18, over 10 years ago, pic on the right was just a few months after surgery.
They had to remove the entire nipple, remove gland (also tested for cancer since its technically a tumor) and then reattach the nipple.
No regrets, years later no real problems.
when you say a surgeon you mean a plastic surgeon right? will they truly be honest when diagnosing you?
>will they truly be honest when diagnosing you?
I mean, they will assess what is there and be truthful as to what the problem actually is, they wont lie to you in regards to misrepresenting the issue, the decision will be yours in the end.
Sure they want to make the "sale" but they'll tell you wether its mostly fat or wether its the gland because its a completely different procedure.
Let's sort this out first: what's your body fat percentage?
If it's anything above 15%, the pinch test won't tell you shit. Just focus on losing weight, ideally get down to 12%.
If you still have tiddies while being that lean and you can feel hard rubbery tissue underneath, it's very likely gyno at that point.
Also I think there are ways to shrink gyno through natural means (mainly upping you free testosterone and freeing up your androgen receptors), so do that while you cut. You should be doing that regardless of gyno anyway.
Around 25% if I had to guess but I hear you, losing weight has been my main focus. What are you referring to when you say natural ways of increasing test? Stuff like lifting, sleeping, sunlight, and eating clean or do you mean specific test boosting supplements?
I see. Thanks.

Yes to all the above. Removing microplastics and other estrogenic (whether faux or real) compounds will help.
Here's a video that goes over freeing up your androgen receptors, it'll get you started at least.
cool, thanks.
This microplastics shit has to be some grift. Suddenly pops up, doesn't get censored in the slightest, and is even pushed in mass media.
No way this bullshit only now gets discovered.
Yeah bro I dont trust it either, Im going to keep lifting my lead weights in my cosy asbestos house and really stick it to the israelites
You know both of those are only dangerous if inhaled or ingested (in the case of lead even perfectly safe for plumbing), right? There's nothing inherently dangerous about making things out of asbestos, it's the fibrous material that physically fricks you up.
>he unironically defends lead and asbestos just to be contrarian
kek, never change. Go eat some estrogen-injected chicken as that is also probably a israelite media conspiracy to raise chicken prices
And yet I'm right.
You know what doctors also said? That butter was a carcinogen... no wait, it's margarine, no wait, butter is good for cholesterol, eggs are bad for cholesterol. Actually, cholesterol is probably independent of diet.
Literally decades of nonsense health advice and you want me to buy this microplastics stuff on some iffy 'research' that just pops up out of nowhere.
>things arent known until they are
>this somehow enrages and confuses anon
Penicillin cant be real tbh, am I supposed to believe it was unknown and then just someone just discovered how to use it out of nowhere?
Bro use your intuition for a hot minute.
Would you eat a plastic container? No? Then you probably don't want to ingest micro bits of it either.
How dense are you?
There's a guy who ate an entire airplane and he was fine. You don't digest it so it comes out the other end. It doesn't bind so it doesn't accumulate in the organs either.
I'm not the one being moronic.
Far be it from me to convince you. If you want to guzzle microplastics, then go hog wild my man. I'll limit my intake as much as I can as I have no interest in consuming inorganic materials.

DIY biopsy.
How do you even get gyno? Asking for a friend.
a lean person would have no trouble determining if he has gyno.
Just saying
leanness is in the eye of the beholder
Are you below 8% body fat?
If not you aren't capable of ensuring you have only essential body fat.
