Gynecomastia – “Woman-Like” Breasts

This enlarged male breasts or the protruding breasts growth seen in men is termed as Gynecomastia, a term which refers to “women like breasts”. This abnormal breasts growth is seen in young men who enters their puberty stages, but this condition is temporary since once one enters adulthood, it subsides, but for few men the condition is permanent.

Psychological Effects Can Be Devastating

Living with an enlarged female like breasts causes a man deep rooted shame and embarrassment since the feeling of humiliation is a common behavior along with a feeling of loss of masculinity. The condition of abnormal breasts growth in men may diminish the ego of male and lead to low self esteem if it is not brought to frontline. There are many men who have been struggling for many years with anxiety and have been suffering in dark with a fear of bringing disgrace to family due to this abnormal large breast. Even taking off their shirt becomes stressful for them.

The surprising truth is that the conditions of enlarged breasts are more common than one may even realize. It is commonly seen in adolescent boys in their pubertal stage showing the signs of breasts growth. The hormone in our body causes the bodily changes in the pubescent boy which are responsible for growth of breast tissue and are a common normal part of breast development for young men. By few months, the symptoms disappears in 90% of males but in remaining 1% of boys the condition persists and stays permanently with a development of “women like breasts”.

Possible Causes Of Female Breasts In Men

It is approximately about 40% to 60% of the entire male population that is affected with enlarged breasts and some of the causes of this condition include:

Obesity- Large breasts are seen in overweight men due to fat deposits, and not due to breast tissue growth and this is known as pseudogynecomastia.

Hormonal – As men age, they tend to develop a hormonal imbalance in the level of estrogen-testosterone that tips the scale of the hormones in favor of estrogen resulting in breast growth.

Medical Conditions – There are certain illnesses such as breast or testicular cancer, impaired function of liver or other serious diseases that also results in Gynecomastia.

What Are The Treatments Available For Gynecomastia?

Liposuction- This procedure helps in excess fat elimination from the breast tissue and thus bringing the breasts into normal shape and size.

Surgery - Breast Reduction Surgery should be the last resort that can help in reducing the excess glandular tissue. The whole procedure is performed in an outpatient basis and takes about two hours to complete. There are risks involved, but if the surgery is being done by a board certified surgeon then the complications and risks are less.
