Gynecomastia is often a combination of glandular tissue and
extra fatty tissue; otherwise, it is a growth of breast tissue, not fat tissue.
Growth of breast tissues is the main form of Gynecomastia that is caused purely
as a hormonal disorder.
Sometimes excess fat develops in the chest area of men that
can be very hard to remove. Hormonal imbalance is one of the main causes of
Gynecomastia when the secretion of the estrogen exceeds the level of
testosterone. What cases this imbalance is yet undetected.
Gynecomastia is a hormonal disorder in men that causes them
to develop breasts that might sometimes swell and become larger than normal and
can cause many involuntary problems in the sufferer’s lifestyle and confidence.
At adolescence, hormone levels are vulnerable to fluctuate, when the
testosterone level is exceeded by the growth of estrogen the breast tissues
grow. This might minimise as they get older and their hormone levels regain
balance. This is a common medical condition in the UK with around 20% of
patients opting for male breast reduction surgeries every year, according toe.
Causes and Symptoms
of Gynecomastia
Hormonal imbalance is the main cause of Gynecomastia, where
the imbalance between the sex hormones estrogen and testosterone result in men
to grow breasts. Estrogen is primarily the female sex hormone which causes the
development of breasts; and testosterone is the male sex hormone. Men also
secrete some degree of estrogen, but the much higher levels of testosterone
controls the estrogen from causing breast tissue to grow in men. If the level
of estrogen exceeds the level of testosterone more than it can control, then
the imbalance cause men to grow breasts.
Newborn babies can be affected by Gynecomastia when during
childbirth estrogen can transfer into the baby boy’s body from the mother.
However, this is supposed to clear off with little time post delivery.
Boy’s hormone levels at adolescence vary a lot with almost 3
out of 5 teenage boys develop some degree of breast enlargement at this age.
But generally adolescent Gynecomastia disappears by itself over time as the
boys grow up to be men and the hormone levels regain their balance.
Men can develop Gynecomastia later in life as well as they
grow older to their 40s and 50s, their body produces less testosterone,
moreover gaining weight at older age can also cause the appearance of breast
tissues in men that is medically referred as pseudo gynecomastia.
Other Causes of Gynecomastia can include side effects of
from drugs for heart disease, or drugs like cannabis or anabolic steroids;
excess consumption of alcohol can deviate testosterone levels; Kidney/Liver
failure and/or diseases; Klinefelter’s Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder and
Infection in the testicles.
Treatments for
Gynecomastia
There are grades of severity of Gynecomastia. While there
are some medications available to control testosterone levels, to treat higher
grades of Gynecomastia surgical removal of the breast tissue or glands is
highly preferred by surgeons and general practitioners.
