Suffering from Gynecomastia? Here's What You Need to Know

Understanding

By Sharvari Hospital,

Gynecomastia, often referred to as "male breast enlargement," is a condition where males develop excess breast tissue due to hormonal imbalances. While not usually a serious health problem, it can cause significant emotional distress, affect self-confidence, and may lead to social withdrawal.

At Sharvari Hospital, we understand the sensitive nature of this condition and offer safe, effective, and minimally invasive solutions to help men regain their confidence.

Gynecomastia

What is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is the benign (non-cancerous) enlargement of breast gland tissue in males. It can affect one or both breasts, sometimes unevenly. It's most commonly seen during puberty, middle age, and older adulthood, as hormone levels shift.

Causes of Gynecomastia

Several factors can contribute to the development of gynecomastia:

• Hormonal Imbalance: A decrease in testosterone or an increase in estrogen.

• Medications: Certain drugs used for ulcers, heart disease, psychiatric conditions, and anabolic steroids.

• Health Conditions: Liver disease, kidney failure, thyroid disorders, and obesity.

• Substance Use: Alcohol, marijuana, heroin, and some supplements or steroids.

  
  

Symptoms to Watch For

• Swollen breast tissue

• Tenderness or pain in the breast area

• Feeling of lumpiness under the nipple

• Asymmetry in breast size

If you're experiencing any of these signs, it's important to seek medical advice for accurate diagnosis and reassurance.

Diagnosis at Sharvari Hospital

We follow a comprehensive approach to diagnosing gynecomastia:

• Detailed Medical History & Physical Examination

• Hormonal Blood Tests (If Required)

• Ultrasound or Mammography (if needed to rule out other causes)

Our team ensures a confidential and respectful consultation, creating a comfortable environment for every patient.

Treatment Options Available

Treatment depends on the underlying cause and severity of the condition. Options include:

1. Lifestyle Changes

   • Weight loss through diet and exercise can sometimes reduce the breast size in mild cases.

2. Medical Management

   • If hormone imbalance or medication is the root cause, adjustments and hormonal therapy may be advised.

3. Surgical Treatment (Male Breast Reduction)For persistent or severe gynecomastia,

   minimally invasive surgery is the most effective option:

   • Liposuction: Removes excess fat from the breast area.

   • Gland Excision: Removes dense breast tissue.

   • Combined Technique: Often used for optimal contouring.
