(UK, US, Australia, informal) Clipping of gynecologist..
Gynecomastia is estimated to affect anywhere from 30 to 70 per cent of males at some stage of their lives. And "gyne" or "gyno", as it's commonly known, is not only an unwelcome (and ironic) side-effect of anabolic-androgenic - that is, muscle-building and masculinising - steroids: it can also be caused by other hormonal disruptors such as alcohol, cigarettes, cannabis, obesity, puberty (usually temporarily) and old age. But [Tom] Powell says his gyno was "99 percent" likely due to steroids.
These days online, there's Reddit groups like r/gynecomastia where people commiserate over their experiences, offer advice, and sometimes speculate about which celebs have had gyno surgery themselves.
