GYNECOMASTIA

The enlarged manbreast

Gynecomastia is the benign growth of the mammary gland in men, which is why those affected consider having their breasts reduced. Enlarged male breasts can occur on one side or both sides. True gynecomastia is usually caused by hormonal changes or medication - a serious illness is rarely the cause. Nevertheless, the cause should always be clarified.

Affected men usually suffer greatly from this external change and therefore seek advice on how to reduce the size of their male breasts. They only wear loose clothing, avoid situations where they are bare-chested (e.g. swimming pool visits) and sporting activities, and change their posture.

In addition to true gynecomastia Pseudogynecomastia (lipomastia) is much more common and is a pure increase in fatty tissue in the breast area. Pseudogynecomastia occurs primarily in connection with obesity. 

Gynecomastia also often occurs in newborns or during puberty. This does not initially require surgery, as it is usually caused by non-pathological hormonal changes and resolves on its own. Nevertheless, it is still advisable to investigate the cause.
