What is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is a condition characterized by excessive growth of breast tissue or accumulation of fat in men. This condition can occur during adolescence as well as in adulthood and can be caused by various factors such as hormonal imbalances, side effects of certain medications, obesity, and liver disease.

What are the Symptoms of Gynecomastia?

The symptoms of gynecomastia include:

  • Swelling or fullness in the breasts
  • Tenderness or pain in the nipples
  • Tightness or itching in the breast skin
  • No reduction in breast size despite weight loss

What are the Causes of Gynecomastia?

There are many possible causes of gynecomastia, but the most common ones include:

Hormonal imbalances

Imbalances in testosterone and estrogen hormones can lead to gynecomastia. These imbalances can occur during adolescence, with aging, or due to certain medical conditions.

Side effects of certain medications

Some medications such as antidepressants, antibiotics, and steroids can cause gynecomastia.

Obesity

Being overweight or obese increases the risk of gynecomastia.

Liver disease

Liver disease can lead to the accumulation of estrogen hormone and cause gynecomastia.

Other medical conditions

Some medical conditions such as chronic kidney failure, thyroid disease, and Klinefelter syndrome can also cause gynecomastia.

How is Gynecomastia Diagnosed?

The diagnosis of gynecomastia is made by your doctor reviewing your medical history, examining your breasts, and ordering blood tests or imaging tests if necessary.

How is Gynecomastia Treated?

The treatment of gynecomastia depends on the underlying cause. If causes such as hormonal imbalances or medication side effects can be eliminated, gynecomastia may resolve on its own. Other causes such as obesity or liver disease can be addressed through weight loss or treatment of the underlying disease.

In some cases, surgery may be necessary to treat gynecomastia. Surgery may involve various techniques such as liposuction or surgical removal of breast tissue (mastectomy).

Technique used

Incisions made with liposuction are smaller and result in less scarring compared to incisions made with mastectomy.

Individual's wound healing ability

Some individuals have skin that heals faster and better than others, resulting in less visible scars.

What you can do to reduce the visibility of scars after gynecomastia treatment:

Follow your doctor's instructions

Following the wound care instructions provided by your doctor will help your skin heal and reduce the visibility of scars.

Avoid sun exposure

Avoiding direct sunlight can prevent scars from becoming more prominent. Therefore, use plenty of sunscreen during the healing process and avoid direct sunlight.

Avoid smoking

Smoking can make it difficult for your skin to heal and may make scars more noticeable.

Use vitamin E

Vitamin E can help speed up wound healing and reduce the visibility of scars.
