Gynecomastia, or the enlargement of male chest tissue, is a condition that affects men of all ages. While it’s medically harmless in most cases, it can deeply impact self-esteem and emotional well-being. At Dr. Dang’s Clinic in Dehradun, Dr. Shivam Dang, a trusted name in cosmetic surgery, provides clear insights and effective solutions for this common concern.
🔬 What is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is the benign growth of glandular breast tissue in males. It is different from fat accumulation (pseudogynecomastia), as it involves actual hormonal imbalance and tissue development. The condition may affect one or both sides of the chest and can sometimes cause discomfort or tenderness.
🧬 Common Causes of Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia can result from various factors, including:
- Hormonal Imbalance: An increase in estrogen or a decrease in testosterone.
- Puberty: Temporary hormonal changes during adolescence.
- Medications: Certain drugs like steroids, anti-androgens, or antidepressants.
- Health Conditions: Liver disease, thyroid disorders, kidney failure, and tumors.
- Substance Use: Alcohol, anabolic steroids, marijuana, and drugs like heroin.
- Obesity: Can cause increased estrogen levels and fat accumulation in the chest.
⚠️ Recognizing the Symptoms
Symptoms of gynecomastia may include:
- Swollen male chest tissue
- Tenderness or sensitivity in the chest area
- Firm or rubbery mass under the nipple
- Uneven appearance in the chest
If you notice any of these signs, a clinical evaluation is recommended.
🩺 When to Consider Surgery
While gynecomastia in adolescents often resolves on its own, persistent cases in adults may require surgical intervention. You should consider surgery if:
- The condition has lasted more than 12 months without improvement
- You experience physical discomfort or pain
- You feel self-conscious or socially anxious
- Medical management has failed to reduce the tissue
At Dr. Dang’s Clinic, male chest reduction surgery is performed with precision and care, using minimally invasive techniques for optimal cosmetic results and a short recovery time.
