Hello, Gynecomastia is a very common problem among men. It is a physiological aberration and not a disease per say. Most of the times it is idiopathic and there are no tests that are required to be done. Though some use tamoxifen it is not effective and has high recurrence. Surgery is the only effective treatment. It is a simple surgery involving liposuction and gland removal by very small incisions and almost invisible scars. It is a day care procedure and you can get back to work in 3 days.

Hello, gynecomastia is a very common problem in men. It's a aberration of normal development. Most of the times there is no underlying cause. You won't need any more investigation. Though some have taken oral tamoxifen the results are not good and tends to recur. Treatment is surgery where liposuction and gland excision is done. It's a day care procedure and you can get back to work in 3 days. It's a very satisfying procedure. Contact personally for more details.

Please send me all the reports so that I can opine better. Breast cancer is almost 80-95% curable in early stage if all the proper treatment is taken. But you have defaulted at every stage. We advise Bisphosphonates or Denosumab for the bony mets. Tamoxifen or AI to be given if hormone receptor positive.
I would have a better idea if you send the reports.
Feel free to contact me directly if you want to discuss this further.

1. Tamoxifen will not cure gynaecomastia.
2.Better it is avoided as it is a hormone replacement therapy. The remedy, if any , may be much worse than the disease.The side effects will be varied

Hormone therapy has an established role as an adjuvant therapy in receptor positive breast cancer. Tamoxifen can even be given receptor status unknown patients based on positive result on receptor status unknown patients (early breast cancer trialists' collaborative group trial). Previously 5 years of adjuvant hormone therapy is recommened. Recently nccn guidelines recommend for 10 years of treatment based on positive result of continuing hormone therapy up to 10 years.
