ABOUT GYNECOMASTIA

"Gynecomastia" is a Greek word which means "women like breasts". Gynecomastia is a swelling of the breast tissue in men. Gynecomastia can affect men of any age or weight. Male breasts are relatively smaller when compared to the breasts of a female. Due to genetic reasons, imbalance in the hormone levels of estrogen and testosterone, use of certain drugs or other unspecified reasons, men may develop enlarged breasts. The swelling may reduce over a period of time by itself or it can be treated with the help of a surgery called the male breast reduction.
