Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia is a common condition which results in enlarged male breast tissue. It can be seen in males of all ages, but usually occurs during the newborn period, puberty and older adulthood. There are many causes for gynecomastia, most commonly an imbalance of the hormone’s testosterone and estrogen.
Gynecomastia can be seen as a button-sized growth underneath the nipple. You may be able to see this as breast lump or feel it when you press on the area. The lump may move easily within the breast tissue and may be tender to touch. Breast lumps and breast enlargement may occur in one or both breasts.
An imbalance between estrogen and androgen hormones typically causes gynecomastia. Men’s bodies usually produce small amounts of estrogen, the hormone that controls breast growth. If your body produces too much estrogen, or you have low testosterone (hypogonadism), your breasts may enlarge.
Sometimes people with obesity develop enlarged breasts due to excess fatty tissue. This condition is known as pseudo gynecomastia.
Some people don’t want or need treatment for gynecomastia. If a medication or other substance is causing breasts to enlarge, you may need to stop using the drug or switch to a different one. If a disease is the cause, swelling should go away with disease treatment.
Some men choose to get breast reduction surgery. During this procedure, a plastic surgeon removes breast tissue to make breasts smaller.
Clients Feedback
Best clinic. Firstly, I was advised very professionally and very understandable for. Doctor and staff are very nice and courteous. The whole process of my treatment was outstanding from the beginning (transfer from the airport, the accommodation in a top hotel, the accompaniment to the treatment, the treatment itself). I can highly recommend the clinic.
