i have one morw question about puberty gyno......did that mean at the time i developed it was my test too high and my body compensated by producing estrogyn? or was my test too low???? i know i was horney as hell!!!!
Males who develop gynecomastic symptoms during puberty (even slight) have been found to produce a lower ratio of weaker adrenal androgens (delta 4-androstenedione and dehydroepiandrosterone). It was once believed that there was an imbalance in the ratios of testosterone to estrogen or estradiol, but this is now known to be untrue.
The condition is relatively common in adolescent males, 90% of the time symptoms disappear in a matter of months, or, as adolescence wanes, a few years later.
For the remaining 10% it remains permanently unless treated.

Interesting reading here, especially the estrogen like qualities of the everyday food we eat – this is widely believed to be the culprit for the ever-increasing number of Gyno cases:

List of potential causes:
Puberty (most common cause)
AAS
Obesity
Marijuana use (this is in question)
Tumors
Genetic disorders
Chronic liver disease
Side effects of many medications
Castration
Klinefelter Syndrome
Gilbert's Syndrome
Aging (declining testosterone)
Remedy
In cases of obesity, weight loss can alter the gynecomastic condition, but for many it will not eliminate it. For most other causes, surgery is the only known physical remedy.
