View Medical News American Medicine: Medicaid and Child Abuse [1/0] Vote Up Vote Down http://distractiblemind.ambulatorycomputing.com/2007/09/10/a... Submitted by preity 8 months, 5 days, 11 hours ago This is a picture of a teenage boy with Gynecomastia. Obviously, gynecomastia is an abnormal enlargement of the male breasts. It happens in some teenagers - and is worse in those with obesity. Just how cruel do you think these kids are treated in high school and middle school? I have a young boy who is 13 and has marked gynecomastia which has been present for over two years. I requested a plastic surgery consult (which is usually my practice) in this situation and the surgeon agreed that he was a good candidate for a surgical fix and submitted the request to our Medicaid managed care provider. I have never had a denial of this when the situation clearly seemed to warrant this. In fact, this child had been approved to have the procedure done a year prior to now but had not gotten it done out of fears and misconceptions about the procedure.
