Overview

Gynecomastia is diagnosed clinically after a thorough history and physical examination. A recent onset of gynecomastia with tenderness on the examination require the following laboratory studies: Serum concentrations of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)LHtestosterone, and estradiol. The hormonal levels may vary depending on the underlying cause.
