Gynecomastia is a medical condition characterized by the enlargement of breast tissue in males. It is typically caused by an imbalance between estrogen and testosterone hormones, leading to the growth of glandular tissue in one or both breasts. Gynecomastia can affect males at any age—from newborns to adolescents and older men—and may be temporary or persistent.
Common causes include puberty-related hormone changes, certain medications, anabolic steroid use, liver or kidney disorders, obesity, or underlying health conditions. While gynecomastia is usually not dangerous, it can cause physical discomfort, tenderness, and emotional distress due to body image concerns.
Treatment depends on the severity and underlying cause. In many cases, it resolves on its own. If the condition persists or causes significant discomfort, treatment options may include hormone therapy or gynecomastia surgery (male breast reduction), where excess glandular tissue and fat are removed for a flatter chest contour. A medical evaluation is essential to determine the best course of action.

In most cases, gynecomastia is a benign (noncancerous) disorder. It might be connected to numerous distinct reasons why hormones vary. The cause is frequently unknown.
Recovery following gynecomastia surgery (male breast reduction) is typically smooth, especially when post-operative instructions are followed closely. Here’s an overview of what patients can expect:
