Gynecomastia is enlargement of the glandular tissue of the male breast. It is common during infancy, puberty, and in middle-aged to older men. It is enlargement of glandular tissue rather than fatty tissue. Breast gland enlargement may affect males of all ages, including newborns, during puberty, and older adults. Gynecomastia is the result of additional breast tissue rather than fat. Exercising or losing weight will not reduce the breast tissue in gynecomastia.
Gynecomastia symptoms can appear suddenly and may include:

Book AppointmentCauses of Gynecomastia :
- 01Hormonal Imbalances
An imbalance between estrogen (female hormone) and testosterone (male hormone) levels can lead to the development of gynecomastia. During puberty, hormonal changes can temporarily cause breast tissue enlargement in boys, which usually resolves on its own within a few months to a couple of years. Hormonal imbalances can also be caused by aging, certain medical conditions, and the use of certain medications.
- 02Medications
Some medications can contribute to the development of gynecomastia. These may include:
Antiandrogens: Medications used in the treatment of prostate cancer, such as bicalutamide or flutamide.
Anabolic Steroids: These are synthetic versions of testosterone used for muscle building or performance enhancement.
Some Antidepressants: Certain antidepressant medications, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), may increase the risk of gynecomastia.
Anti-anxiety medications, certain antibiotics, and other medications can also be associated with gynecomastia. - 03Underlying Medical Conditions
Certain medical conditions can contribute to gynecomastia, including:
Hormonal Disorders: Conditions like hypogonadism (reduced testicular function) or hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid gland) can disrupt the balance of hormones and contribute to breast tissue enlargement.
Chronic Liver Disease: Liver cirrhosis or liver failure can lead to hormonal imbalances and gynecomastia.
Kidney Failure: Impaired kidney function can affect hormone metabolism and contribute to gynecomastia. - 04Use of Recreational Drugs and Substance Abuse
Some substances, such as marijuana, heroin, and methamphetamine, as well as excessive alcohol consumption, have been associated with gynecomastia.
Diagnosis Test :
- 01
Medical History and Physical Examination
The doctor will ask about your symptoms, medical history, medications you are taking, and any factors that may contribute to gynecomastia. They will also perform a physical examination of the breast tissue, genitals, and other relevant areas.
- 02
Additional Tests
In some cases, further tests may be recommended to determine the underlying cause of gynecomastia or to rule out any other conditions. These tests may include blood tests to check hormone levels, liver function tests, imaging tests (such as mammography or ultrasound) to evaluate the breast tissue, or a biopsy in rare cases where there is suspicion of breast cancer.
