its possible he could just be checking whether your hormone levels are normal- if you're over producing a female hormone like oestrogen or under producing testosterone it could cause slight breast development. it's most likely nothing to worry about though and the blood test is just a precautionary measure.

gyno.

Do you mean you have hard lumps inside your nipples and as such they are akin to a girls? E.g. bigger and rounder?

I had that, its all good man :p:

PUBERTAL GYNECOMASTIA :-
Pubertal gynecomastia is very common in young boys of age ten to sixteen, with as many as 30% of normal boys experiencing this problem to some degree. The condition usually remedies itself without any kind for treatment but some doctors may elect to perform a surgical breast reduction, if the breasts are judged to be too large. It is very important to note that obese teenagers may seems to have gynecomastia due to the extra fat deposits which collect in the breast area. However, this pseudo gynecomastia or false gynecomastia is composed purely of fat and contains no breast tissue as does true gynecomastia will go away with herbal medication and is not a concern for developing as breast cancer.

Yup, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gynecomastia

The reason they didn't do anything while you were going through puberty was because it often resolves itself naturally - but if it doesn't, there are definitely things that can be done.

i think most girls find seeing a bit of manly nipple a turn on. i advise you all to wear more tight t shirts. but i think all men are worried about man-boobs. if you go to the gym they might go, but if you are age 20 or under i thnk they are just part of developing and go by themself

My boyfriend thinks he has what you're describing but to be honest I didnt even notice until he took his top off for the first time, and even then I was just like, "what?" because he was looking at me, expecting me to laugh or something. I dont even notice it now! Its prob not as severe as you believe it to be and I know you wont believe me but no one will notice anything if you wear tighter t-shirts.

Yeah I agree with the others, go to a gyno and see what they can do.

Hehe, erm, a 'gyno' is a doctor that looks at vaginas all day long, i doubt they'll be able to help in this case. I think you mean he should go to a doctor and ask them about gyno, the condition where men grow boobs. :p:
