My 12 year old son has very large brea*ts, since probably age 10. He's also overweight but distributes it well, as he's tall.
The pediatrician offered pills, which I don't want.
I also don't want to push him to lose weight. Do any imas have experience with this?

Are you/him open to exercising to look more toned?

My son looks like he needs a bra. He's 10. One of my older kids was the same. As,he got older he got more proportion. He's now a tall and thin good looking guy. I'm not worrying about the ten year old.

What does promotion mean in this context? Or is it a typo?

I’d wait a few more years to see if he outgrows it
If he’s getting bullied or embarrassed about it, I’d get him a personal trainer to help him exercise in a way specifically for pecs

My son was always a little chubby and had man b00bs. (DH does as well. )
At age 20 he got very into fitness and really lost weight and toned up but couldn't get rid of the brèast tissue so he had surgery to remove them because it was really bothering him.
He's 22 and paid for it himself.
He's much happier with his body now.

My husband also got his breast tissue surgically removed. It really bothered him and he felt it was worthwhile. He got it done as an older teen.

Make sure he is staying away from products with soy (which is so many these days because soybean is the cheapest oil. Soy is the cheapest “protein”)
Stay away from flax. Lavender oil in anything.

Really? Did it leave a mark? So interesting!

Sometimes it's real gynecomastia, which is caused by hormonal imbalance (which can be affected by phytoestrogens and other estrogen-like compounds). In overweight men, it can just be excess fat. If it is hormonal, then it's just a symptom, and the underlying hormonal health is very important for other reasons.

Dietician if he could use better eating habits perhaps causing insulin resistance, & encouraging picking up a sport?
If he eats fine & is active, maybe try going to an endocrinologist?
