The onset is usually seen early during puberty and is caused by hormonal imbalance with high levels of female hormones as compared to male hormones. This in turn leads to a proliferation of the breast tissue on one or both sides. The incidence of gynecomastia during puberty is reported to be as high 50 to 60 %. By the end of puberty, when the hormonal metabolism has reached a balance, most boys will have breasts of normal size. In some cases, though, the enlarged breast tissue may not involute and the breast tissue will stay enlarged. Apart from adolescent gynecomastia, the disorder is also seen at later stages in life. In these cases a full medical check up has to be performed to exclude conditions such as liver disease, endocrine gland malfunction or breast and other cancers. Drug induced gynecomastia must also be considered (steroids) as must chronic marijuana and alcohol consumption. the surgery Smokers should stop smoking for a minimum of two weeks before surgery and during recovery. Smoking decreases blood circulation and can decrease proper healing. Overweight patients should first be encouraged to correct the problem with exercise or weight loss.

GYNECOMASTIA You are visitor number to this page. Gynecomastia 1. I am Male Female 2. Have you had gynecomastia? Yes No 3. Do you know someone with gynecomastia? Yes No While most gynecomastia is seen in adolescence and resolves without treatment some cases are the result of endocrine gland malfunction or tumors. Some types of liver disease and cancers of several types can produce gynecomastia. Some cases are due to congenital syndromes and others may be related to drug use such as steroids or marijuana. There is a second peak in incidence late in life and here the risk of ductal carcinoma of the breast must be a stronger consideration so that biopsy of the breast may be necessary. 4. Were you aware that gynecomastia occurred so often? Yes No 5. Were you aware that men could get breast cancer? Yes No When gynecomastia is severe, when it persists, and in those cases where there is supicion of malignancy surgical treatment may be indicated. In most cases the incisions for this operation can be placed just inside the areolar border where they are less likely to be conspicuous. The glandular tissue must be removed. This firm fibrous tissue extends from the nipple areolar complex down to the surface of the pectoral muscle beneath. In some cases it is helpful to use liposuction to remove some of the fatty tissue which always surrounds this ductal tissue. Without this liposuction some patients would have a "donut" shaped defect after removal of the ductal tissue. Pictures above represent a mild and a moderate case of gynecomastia treated surgically.The preoperative views are on your left, the postoperative on your right.

26. Male Breast Cancer Is gynecomastia related to breast cancer? gynecomastia (literally female breast )is a condition in which the male breast enlarges and becomes tender. http://aboutplastic.surgery.uiowa.edu/surgery/oncology/malebreastcancer.html

Male Breast Cancer Carol EH Scott-Conner, MD, PhD Department of Surgery The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics Iowa City, Iowa 52242-1086 Do men get breast cancer? Many people are unaware that men can develop breast cancer. Every year in this country approximately 1000 men will develop carcinoma of the breast ( ). These men frequently experience surprize, confusion, and a sense of isolation. While the average age at diagnosis is around 65 years, the problem can occur in younger (or older) men ( How common is it? For every 100 women who develop breast cancer in the US, one male is diagnosed with the equivalent disease. The overall incidence is between 0.1 and 3.4 cases per 100,000 man-years. This makes male breast cancer one of the rarest malignancies, contributing to the generally low level of public awareness. What causes it? Just as the causes of female breast cancer are still under study, the precise cause (or causes) of male breast cancer are still under study. Men have glandular breast tissue that is subject to hormonal influences. Excess estrogen, especially around the time of puberty, has been identified as a possible factor. Men with Klinefelter’s syndrome have an increased risk of developing breast cancer, as do men who take estrogens or estrogen-like compounds. Androgen (and possibly progesterone) exert a protective influence. Men who are deficient in androgen seem to also be an increased risk (for example, men who have testicular atrophy from mumps orchitis, injury, or undescended testes). Brain tumors and conditions associated with excess production of prolactin have also been implicated in some cases of male breast cancer (

GYNECOMASTIA How It Happens and What You Can Do About It. "Doctor, I have bitch tits. Am I f***ed?" These are the words that a young bodybuilder used to introduce himself. He went on to describe how he followed a cycle of anabolic steroids and then afterward noticed a swelling of his chest that he thought was the muscle growing. It soon became tender and progressed to a sizable mass of tissue, to the point where he was embarrassed to take off his shirt and show the physique he'd worked so hard to build. Dieting and building up his pecs only made the problem worse. He couldn't even hug his girlfriend without discomfort. Gynecomastia, or "bitch tits," as it's called, is a benign enlargement of the male breast tissue. The term comes from the Greek words gyne meaning "woman" and mastos meaning "breast." It can occur naturally or as the result of certain substances being in the system. Historical writings and artifacts show that Gynecomastia is an ancient problem, as evidenced by statues of Pharaoh Seti I that have enlarged breasts. Aristotle reported encountering the problem, and the earliest description of the surgical removal of Gynecomastia is found in the writings of Paulus of Aegineta, who lived from 635 to 690 A.D.

The condition may occur in one or both breasts and begins as a small lump beneath the nipple, which may be tender. The breasts often enlarge unevenly. Gynecomastia during puberty is not uncommon, is self-limiting, and usually goes away over a period of months. In newborns, breast development may be associated with milk flow ( galactorrhea ). This condition usually lasts for a couple of weeks and in rare cases may persist until the child is two years old. It is caused by exposure to maternal hormones. Other causes of gynecomastia include chronic liver disease , kidney failure, and exposure to estrogens, androgens (often taken secretly for body building).

What does it accomplish? The chest is flatter, firmer and better contoured. What happens during the first consultation? Dr. Adams will discuss your surgery and determine if you are a good candidate. He will examine your breasts and check for causes of the gynecomastia, such as impaired liver function, use of estrogen-containing medications, or anabolic steroids.

This will not only rule out the very small possibility of breast cancer, but will reveal the breast's composition. Once your surgeon knows how much fat and glandular tissue is contained within the breasts, your surgeon can choose a surgical approach to best suit your needs. You will have the opportunity to view pre and post-op pictures, be photographed and discuss pre and post-op care. Dr. Adams assistant, Janice, will give you the total fee, which includes the fees of the surgeon, anesthesia, and operating room. and will give written pre and post-op care and informed consent to review before signing and discuss your consultation appointment.

QUERY: My son is 16 years old and his nipples are very swollen due to puberty. It has been this way for a year now. It is very embarrassing for him in P.E. classwhen he has to take off his shirt. A lot of his classmates laugh and make fun of him. I know this problem will eventually go away, but is there anything he could do to ease the swelling? He is very self-conscious about it. Thank you for any help you can give. ANSWER: I really feel for your son - puberty is bad enough without such an obvious problem in the locker room! You probably know already, but 60-70% of male teens experience breast enlargement (gynecomastia) between 12 and 15 years of age. He is older than the usual age for this, but not too far out of the norm. Breast tissue grows whenever the ratio of the body's estrogen is increased relative to the body's testosterone.
