If I want to do an examination, what specialist should I go to to do this gynecomastia examination?rnBefore, I thank you for the answer, doctor.rnWassalamualaikum.

Hello, thank you for your question
First of all, it is necessary to determine whether this is true gynecomastia or not.
Gynecomastia / enlarged breasts in men is a condition that can be caused by a variety of causes.
certain drugs such as spironolactone, antidepressants, certain types of heart medications You experience, because the prognosis and treatment will vary depending on the cause, basically treatment for gynecomastia is to address the underlying cause. For example, in patients who experience gynecomastia due to liver disease such as cirrhosis which is basically permanent and cannot be reversed, then of course gynecomastia, if it occurs, will last a much longer time. Likewise, if because of a cause such as a certain tumor, as long as the tumor is still present, the gynecomastia will not recede.
It's a different story if because of drug side effects, usually gynecomastia will slowly disappear 6 months -1 or 2 years after stopping treatment.
