Gynecomastia is a condition that affects many men worldwide but is often misunderstood or left undiagnosed due to embarrassment or lack of awareness. At Dr. Dangs Clinic, our goal is to empower men with accurate information and safe, proven solutions. Let’s explore the causes, symptoms, and modern surgical options available for gynecomastia.
What is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is the benign enlargement of breast tissue in males. It can affect one or both breasts and often leads to physical discomfort, emotional distress, and reduced self-esteem.
Common Causes of Gynecomastia
- Hormonal Imbalance:
A shift in the balance of estrogen and testosterone is the most common cause. This can happen during puberty, aging, or due to certain medical conditions. - Medications & Drugs:
Some antibiotics, anti-anxiety medications, steroids, and recreational drugs like marijuana can lead to gynecomastia. - Health Conditions:
Liver or kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, and tumors can contribute to hormonal disturbances resulting in gynecomastia. - Obesity:
Excess fat can lead to pseudo-gynecomastia (fatty chest appearance), but it can also trigger true gynecomastia by increasing estrogen levels.
Symptoms to Watch Out For
- Enlargement of breast gland tissue
- Swelling and tenderness in the chest area
- Uneven breast size
- Emotional or psychological discomfort
If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to consult a specialist for proper diagnosis and treatment options.
Is Gynecomastia Treatable? Absolutely.
For many, the most effective and permanent treatment is gynecomastia surgery, which involves:
✅ Liposuction
Ideal for cases where excess fat is the primary issue. A small cannula is used to suction out the fat through tiny incisions.
✅ Excision Surgery
Used when there is a significant amount of glandular tissue or sagging skin. This involves removing the tissue directly.
✅ Combination Technique
In most cases, both liposuction and gland excision are used for optimal, natural-looking results.
