CAUSE OF GYNAECOMASTIA

CAUSE OF GYNAECOMASTIA

Gynecomastia is a condition characterized by the enlargement of breast tissue in males, and it can be caused by a variety of factors. Hormonal imbalances are a common cause of gynecomastia, as the condition occurs when there is an increase in the ratio of estrogens to androgens in the body. This can occur during puberty, as the body undergoes significant hormonal changes, or later in life as a result of medication use or underlying medical conditions.

Certain medications can also cause gynecomastia, as they may alter hormone levels in the body. These medications include some antidepressants, antipsychotics, and medications used to treat prostate cancer, among others. Street drugs like marijuana and anabolic steroids can also cause gynecomastia.

In some cases, gynecomastia can be caused by underlying medical conditions, such as liver disease, kidney disease, and certain tumors. Obesity and excessive alcohol consumption can also increase the risk of gynecomastia. In some cases, the cause of gynecomastia is unknown. It is important for individuals who experience breast enlargement or other symptoms of gynecomastia to seek medical attention, as a thorough medical evaluation can help determine the underlying cause of the condition and guide appropriate treatment.
