Gynecomastia is diagnosed clinically after a thorough history and physical examination. Gynecomastia which is recent in onset and tender on the examination should have serum concentrations of [[Human chorionic gonadotropin|human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)]], [[LH]], [[testosterone]], and [[estradiol]] measured. The hormonal levels may vary depending on the underlying cause.

Overview

Gynecomastia is diagnosed clinically after a thorough history and physical examination. Gynecomastia with recent onset and tender on the examination should have serum concentrations of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)LHtestosterone, and estradiol measured. The hormonal levels may vary depending on the underlying cause.
