What is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is a man's dreaded medical condition or what
is commonly know as “male
breast” and "man breast". It originates from a Greek
phrase meaning "women-like breast". Many men, both young and old will at one
time or another be afflicted with this male breast syndrome. Surprising isn't
it?
Yes, gynecomastia is actually quite common and it is thought
that one third or more males would have experienced this physical condition.
It may affect only one breast or both and is a big cause of embarrasment
amongst men, young and old alike. Many men are forced to consider surgery as an
option to get rid of their male breast. Fortunately, most male will get
rid and lose their man breast naturally. Why?

Why some men have female like breasts?
Young boys until they hit puberty will have a small amount of breast tissue
under the nipple or the areola area. Upon puberty male hormones produced by
the testicles prevent further growth of breast tissue. So many boys do get
temporary gynecomastia. Males with gynecomastia can feel a button like growth
under the nipple area. Sounds familiar?
Unfortunately for some men, the man female breast like condition remains and
continues into adulthood or if it occurs when the male is already an adult, it
is due to hormone inbalances. In most cases, the over production estrogen
(female hormone) or the lack of testosterone (male hormone) are the culprit.
Other health conditions and habits can cause gynecomastia due to over
production of estrogens through liver diseases and obesity which can alter the
testosterone and estrogen balance in the body. Similarly, men who smoke
marijuana or consume alcohol regularly may also develop gynecomastia. I am
sure you have seen compulsive male beer drinkers with big bellies and male
breasts, haven't you?
Because of these breast tissues in males, men too can develop breast cancer.
This came as a surprise isn’t it? That is why when men developed breast
cancers, it will usually be at the advanced stage because men simply don’t
check themselves for breast cancer as they think breast cancer is a
predominantly female disease.
Some commonly prescribed medicines can sometimes cause gynecomastia too. Some
of these medications are for the treatment of ulcers, heartburn, heart
diseases and high blood pressure. If you have gynecomastia and are taking
these medications, do check with your doctor whether your male breast
condition is caused by the medications and if so, see if there are any
alternative medicines that will not aggravate gynecomastia.
