This handout is also available in Spanish. Information from Your Family Doctor Gynecomastia: When Breast Form in Males What is gynecomastia? Gynecomastia is a condition in which firm breast tissue forms in males. The breast tissue is usually less than 1-1/2 inches across and is located directly under the nipple. Gynecomastia may be present on one side or on both sides. This condition may make the breast tender. Some men and boys have fat on their chests that makes it look like they have breasts. This condition is called pseudogynecomastia (false gynecomastia). It is not the same thing as gynecomastia. What causes gynecomastia? Gynecomastia is usually caused by changes in hormones at puberty or as part of aging. Hormones are chemicals produced by the glands of the body, such as the thyroid gland, the testes and the ovaries. Gynecomastia may be caused by changes in the balance of 2 hormones, estrogen and testosterone. In rare cases, gynecomastia is caused by prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, illegal drugs, tumors or disease. Are tests needed to find the cause of gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is when the male breast is enlarged. The size can vary from a slight puffiness to full female like breasts. That is where we get the word Gynecomastia "female like breasts" Myself and many other men are not going to have any surgery for various reasons. I am not going to because of my body weight and the size of my breasts. I would need two surgeries, the second one just to remove excess skin. Also surgery would not correct the fact that my body is "wired" to grow breasts. What bugs me is the fact that the Doctors many times do not really know why Gynecomastia happens. A man does not need to have more that the normal male estrogen level to have Gynecomastia. Sometimes it just seems to happen. This is called an Idiopathic condition (a disease having no known cause) I have found out that I have a enlarged Thyroid and this also can cause Gynecomastia. Thyroid conditions can affect hormone levels and cause problems with the Pituitary gland. Thyroid problems and most of the endocrine system are another medical area that Doctor's do not fully understand.

Recommend Us tell a friend about us or email this page to a friend Main Adolescent Adolescent Problems Gynecomastia Dr. Michael Bermant is Board Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery Male breast growth can have a major emotional impact on a young man. There is just something about protruding breasts in a male that can result in teasing from peers. Typical behavior is to hide the chest when in public or shun others. Those bothered by the problem avoid swimming, taking their shirts off, and other activities where others can see their breasts. Many do not discuss their concerns with parents, peers, and do not understand the problem. Starting that dialog is important. Gynecomastia is a common condition affecting between 40 and 60% of all males. Breast development easily happens during adolescence and may have many possible causes. It can appear as a small lump just under the areola (colored skin around the nipple). During growth, this mass can be tender.

Learn about pubertal, physiological, and pectoral gynecomastia. gynecomastia. gynecomastia is defined as the visible or palpable development of breast tissue in boys or men. http://home.coqui.net/myrna/gyne.htm

Gynecomastia Gynecomastia is defined as the visible or palpable development of breast tissue in boys or men. It has been divided into four types: Type I: (pubertal or benign adolescent breast hypertrophy) refers to the common entity seen in pubertal males. Incidence may be as high as 60-70%. It is typically a firm, tender, subareolar mass anywhere from 1-5 cm in diameter. The pubertal adolescent frequently complains of pain in the breasts, particularly when wearing binding clothing. It usually spontaneously resolves within 2 years. Type II (physiological gynecomastia without evidence of underlying disease, or with evidence of organic disease including the effects of specific drugs) refers to a generalized, nonpainful breast enlargement. It is essential to differentiate between physiologic gynecomastia and breast enlargement due either to a pathologic process or to the use of a specific drug. Careful history taking regarding the time of onset, family history, duration of enlargement, history of systemic illness, weight change, and drug or medication use, is important. Physical examination should include height, weight, blood pressure, breast size, and Tanner staging of both breasts and genitals, in addition to a neurologic assessment. Type III gynecomastia is general obesity simulating gynecomastia, and Type IV is pectoral muscle hypertrophy.

He was bothered by the breasts to the point of not wearing T-shirts and keeping himself covered at the beach. He states he walked with his hands covering his chest so that they were not seen. Gym activities embarrassed him. He did not have a hormonal workup before coming to my office. His breast examination revealed mild to moderate breast enlargement with primarily glandular tissue. His testicles were small. His pediatrician assisted with a work up that revealed Klinefelter's syndrome. This is a common cause of gynecomastia and genetic problem seen in males (1:500). Hypogonadism is a problem with small testicles and low hormone output. Some patients do not develop gynecomastia until after puberty.

Gynecomastia Definition Gynecomastia is a common disease of the male breast where there is a benign glandular enlargement of that breast at some time in the male's life. It usually consists of the appearance of a flat pad of glandular tissue beneath a nipple which becomes tender at the same time. The development may be unilateral or bilateral. There is rarely a continued growth of the breast tissue; ordinarily the process is of brief duration and stops short of the production of permanent enlargement of the breast. Causes A great number of patients who suffer from this disease have a disturbance in the proper ratio of androgen and estrogen levels. The normal ratio of the two hormones in plasma is approximately 100:1. "The etiology of gynecomastia in patients with a known documented cause appears to be related to increased estrogen stimulation, decreased testosterone levels, or some alteration of the estrogens and androgen so that the androgen-estrogen ratio is decreased"(Williams 373). From this information it was discovered that there is also a lower ratio of weaker adrenal androgens (delta 4-androstenedione and dehydroepiandrosterone) found in youths with this disease. It was once believed that there was an imbalance in the ratios of testosterone to estrogen or estradiol, but this is now know to be untrue. There are three areas the can be attributed to the cause of gynecomastia: physiologic, pathologic and pharmacologic. "Enlargement of the male breast can be a normal physiologic phenomenon at certain stages of life or the result of several pathologic states."(Isselbacher, 2037)

It often does not require intervention. If there is a medical problem causing the growth, treating the problem can be very important. A stimulating factor should be removed. Your pediatrician or family doctor will help you decide if you will need an endocrinologist. Once breast glandular growth has been stimulated, it may not go away with medical treatment The male chest consists of skin, fat, muscle and possibly gland tissues. A localized collection of fat and or gland at the lower breast can give a look that is just not "male." The gland may be localized as a small firm mass just under the areola. Glandular tissue may spread finger-like through the softer fat. When the breast is very large, redundant skin can be an issue. Thickened tissues under the nipple and areola (colored skin around the nipple) can cause protrusion of the surface structures.

Though this oddly named condition is rarely talked about, it is actually quite common. Gynecomastia affects an estimated 40% to 60% of men. It may affect only one breast or both. Though certain drugs and medical problems have been linked with male breast over development, there is no known cause in the vast majority of cases. The enlargement can be from excess glandular tissue or fat or both. For men who feel self-conscious about their appearance, breast-reduction surgery can help. The procedure removes fat and or glandular tissue from the breasts, and in extreme cases removes excess skin, resulting in a chest that is flatter, firmer, and better contoured.
