When I changed Doctor's, I decided not to care rather a female or a male. My old Doctor I felt was sort of the cause for me having multiple heart attacks.
Anyways, my original Doctor, for months said my breasts were just fat accumulations. DUH.... after he noticed they had grown significantly, the then announced that I might have pseudo Gynecomastia. I asked him what that meant. He said he suspected I had some real breast tissue hiding amongst the "accumulated fat".
He wanted x-rays, ran blood test's etc. Nothing was found. He even ran ultra sounds on my kidney's. This all about a year before I adopted the attitude to "make lemonade from lemons"
My new Doctor just casually mentioned that I had gynecomastia and asked how long I had the condition. She further asked if I was comfortable with it. My reply was that I had them long enough that I was used to them and it was a part of me now and it was too expensive to worry about surgically removing them.
She then said in her opinion that was all that mattered, but with my fluctuating blood pressure she ordered another study of blood flow knowing I had PAD anyways. She seems accepting and maybe even mildly curious about my reactions to the answer I game her when quizzed about my feelings having breast.
One day, I probably will wear at least an athletic bra to my office visit just to gage her reaction. LOL
