Gynecomastia is a condition in which the breast tissue of men increases its size excessively. This condition is commonly caused by the hormonal changes that men undergo as they go from childhood to adolescence and later to adulthood, although they also can be generated by the prolonged use of certain medications or hormones.
Gynecomastia can affect one or both breasts, sometimes causing pain, but especially discomfort and shame for men who suffer from it.
Although it sometimes disappears on its own, it is also treated with medication or corrective surgery. Breast reduction with breast glands excision is the most common procedure for gynecomastia which needs surgical treatment. This procedure can be performed on a stand-alone basis or it can be combined with any liposuction procedure; this decision made by surgeons depends on the structure and treatment need of the excessive breast tissue of each patient.
