Gynecomastia

Male breast enlargement can affect men of all ages and often causes physical discomfort, reduced self-confidence, and emotional distress. The most common cause is a hormonal imbalance, although several other medical conditions may also contribute to its development.

Symptoms of Gynecomastia

You should consult a doctor if you experience any of the following symptoms:

• Enlargement of one or both breasts;

• Enlarged or swollen areolae;

• Tenderness or pain in the breast area;

• Increased nipple sensitivity;

• A firm lump beneath the nipple;

• Changes in the shape or appearance of the chest.

Early evaluation helps determine the underlying cause and ensures the most effective treatment.

Causes of Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia can develop due to a variety of factors, including:

• Hormonal imbalance between testosterone and estrogen;

• Tumors affecting the testicles, adrenal glands, or pituitary gland;

• Elevated prolactin levels;

• Testosterone deficiency (hypogonadism);

• Obesity and excess body fat;

• Metabolic disorders;

• Chronic liver or kidney disease;

• Certain medications, including anabolic steroids and hormone therapy.

A comprehensive medical evaluation is necessary to identify the exact cause and recommend the most appropriate treatment.

Types of Gynecomastia

There are three main types of gynecomastia:

True Gynecomastia

Enlargement caused by excessive growth of glandular breast tissue.

Pseudogynecomastia (Lipomastia)

Breast enlargement caused primarily by the accumulation of fatty tissue, most commonly seen in overweight or obese men.

Mixed Gynecomastia

A combination of glandular tissue enlargement and excess fatty tissue.

Diagnosis of Gynecomastia

At Expert Medical Clinic, we perform a thorough evaluation to determine the cause of male breast enlargement. Diagnostic procedures may include:

• Physical examination;

• Breast ultrasound;

• Hormone blood tests;

• Mammography (when indicated);

• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI);

• Tissue biopsy if breast cancer is suspected.

A personalized treatment plan is developed based on your examination results.

Gynecomastia Treatment

Treatment depends on the underlying cause and the severity of the condition.

Non-Surgical Treatment

Many patients respond well to conservative treatment, which may include:

• Hormonal therapy;

• Medications to correct hormonal imbalance;

• Treatment of underlying medical conditions;

• Weight management and lifestyle modifications when appropriate.

Medical treatment is often effective in the early stages and may eliminate the need for surgery.

Surgical Treatment

If medication is ineffective or significant breast enlargement persists, surgical treatment may be recommended.

Gynecomastia surgery involves removing excess glandular tissue and/or fatty tissue to restore a flatter, more masculine chest contour. The procedure is performed by experienced specialists using modern surgical techniques to achieve natural-looking results.

Recovery and Follow-Up

Following treatment, patients should:

• Follow all postoperative or medical recommendations;

• Attend scheduled follow-up appointments;

• Maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle;

• Monitor hormonal health when advised by their physician.

Regular follow-up visits help ensure long-term treatment success and overall well-being.
