Not sure if you docs are into MMA but just had a question. So a month ago a fighter Israel adesanya had a case of gyno and it was all over the internet. A doctor made a video explaining that it was not gyno but a pec injury. I have a hard time believing this because I’ve seen gyno and this looks exactly like it. The only reason I care is because he’s known to say “you don’t need to be big and strong” and he’s playing this hero persona. But if indeed he has gyno it’ll make his image bad. Anyways just wanted to see if you docs would know anything about pec injury’s that look like gyno.
I’ve never seen a pec injury that would be misdiagnosed as gynocemastia on exam, but it’s possible this might happen just from a picture or video alone. People can also have gynocemastia without using anabolic steroids.
That said, of course being stronger helps a person be a better fighter provided they have the other necessary tools and opportunities to be successful. Lots of those people in sport use PEDs also.
Yes I do understand people have gyno without PED usage. But this particular guy randomly developed gyno before the fight because he had no sign of it before.
It’s not really possible to tell unless you did a physical exam on him before and after so I wouldn’t feel too confident in calling it gynocemastia.
