Gynaecomastia is a condition that causes the enlargement of breast tissue in males. It is typically caused by an imbalance of hormones in the body, specifically an increase in estrogen levels relative to testosterone levels.
Gynaecomastia can occur at any age, from infancy to adulthood, and can affect one or both breasts. It is often associated with certain medical conditions, medications, or lifestyle factors such as drug or alcohol use.
While gynaecomastia is not typically a serious medical condition, it can cause physical discomfort and emotional distress for those who experience it. In some cases, surgical treatment may be recommended to reduce breast size and improve the appearance of the chest.
Surgical treatment for gynaecomastia may involve liposuction to remove excess fat, excision of glandular tissue, or a combination of both. Recovery time will depend on the specific procedure performed and the individual patient, but most patients are able to return to normal activities within a few weeks.
It is important to consult with a qualified medical professional to determine the underlying cause of gynaecomastia and to determine the appropriate course of treatment.
