Gynecomastia (click for worldwide facilities list): Gynecomastia is swelling of the breast tissue in boys or men, caused by an imbalance of the hormones estrogen and testosterone. It also may be caused by medications known to cause gynecomastia.
Gynecomastia may go away on its own. Gynecomastia can also be treated with medications that help balance hormone levels. In some cases, surgery to remove breast tissue also may be an option.
In adolescents with no apparent cause of gynecomastia, the doctor may recommend periodic re-evaluations every three to six months to see if the condition improves on its own. Gynecomastia often goes away without treatment in less than three years. However, treatment may be necessary if gynecomastia doesn't improve on its own, or if it causes significant pain, tenderness or embarrassment.
Medications used to treat breast cancer and other conditions, such as tamoxifen and raloxifene, may be helpful for some men with gynecomastia. Although these medications are approved by the Food and Drug Administration, they have not been approved specifically for this use.
There are two types of surgery are used to treat gynecomastia:
Liposuction:
This surgery removes breast fat, but not the breast gland tissue itself.
Mastectomy:
This type of surgery removes the breast gland tissue. The surgery is done on an endoscopic basis, meaning only small incisions are used. This less invasive type of surgery involves less recovery time.
For a man, enlarged breasts can be stressful and embarrassing. During puberty, gynecomastia can make boys a target for teasing from peers. To avoid anxiety and depression caused by gynecomastia consider counseling, or reaching out to others who have the same condition for support.
