GYNAECOMASTIA IN MEN
Gynecomastia is a condition that causes the enlargement of breast tissue in men. It can affect one or both breasts, and can occur in men of any age. Gynecomastia is caused by an imbalance of hormones, specifically an increase in the amount of estrogen relative to testosterone. This can be due to a variety of factors, including puberty, aging, medication, medical conditions, or lifestyle factors such as alcohol or drug use.
The symptoms of gynecomastia can vary from a small amount of breast tissue growth to significant breast enlargement, which can be uncomfortable or painful. It can also cause emotional distress or embarrassment, particularly in social or intimate situations.

Treatment options for gynecomastia include medication, surgery, or lifestyle changes. Medications that may be used to treat gynecomastia include tamoxifen, which is a selective estrogen receptor modulator, and aromatase inhibitors, which can reduce the amount of estrogen in the body. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove excess breast tissue. Lifestyle changes, such as weight loss or reduction of alcohol and drug use, can also improve gynecomastia symptoms.
Gynecomastia is generally a benign condition, but in some cases it can be a sign of an underlying medical condition, such as a hormone-producing tumor. Therefore, it is important for men with gynecomastia to be evaluated by a healthcare provider to determine the cause of the breast tissue growth and to develop an appropriate treatment plan.
