Hi, so sad to tell you all that I am a large chested man myself because I have severe gender dysphoria and so my boobs get itchy alot. On consultation with a surgeon in a clinic in Mississauga, I came to know about the double incision mastectomy procedure ( ftmtopsurgery.ca/ftm-proced... ) which I think can be considered in my case. Being a man who has not undergone any surgeries before, I'm really afraid. Also, I don't know hoe to come out to my friends and family if I get it done. Desperately need your advise!

There are natural alternatives to relieve you of the symptoms and reduce the size.

Hi, the men's health forum recently published Your Body, Your Health. This is a guide aimed at transmen*, but it also has some really helpful information on chest surgery. I hope you find this informative and helpful > menshealthforum.org.uk/your...

Sounds like you need ongoing support re coming out to friends and family. There are some good facebook support groups for trans men - for example you could join 'All transmen know each other' is good.
