I'm seeing a lot of posts from teens about man-boobs. While this is often a result of weight, it can be the result of a hormonal imbalance in teens. As a teenager, I was on a swim team, and thin enough you could almost see my ribs, yet I had a partial man-boob, or gynocomastia as it is termed, on my left side. As a teenager, your body is developing, so its sorting out how much stuff like testosterone and estrogen to produce. For some people, the body will react to a slight excess of estrogen and begin producing these gynocomastia. A sure way to tell if it is fat or hormonal is to feel around the nipple. If there seems to be a hard core below the surface, you're probably suffering from a hormonal imbalance. In many people, these will go away over time. For some, however, it may require surgery to remove the tissue that develops.
