A somewhat embarrassing topic for the male population is gynecomastia. ????♂️
⠀
???? It refers to the abnormal growth of breasts in men. Contrary to what many may think, this problem is related to excess breast tissue and not just fat. This is a disorder that can occur in people of all ages:
⠀
*️⃣ In newborns, the most common cause is usually a reaction to contact with the mother's estrogen during gestation.
⠀
*️⃣ In adolescents, it occurs due to a hormonal imbalance.
⠀
*️⃣ In adults, gynecomastia is related to a drop in testosterone levels in the body.
⠀
???? Initially, treatment may be medicinal, and follow-up may involve more than one specialist, such as an endocrinologist, mastologist, and plastic surgeon. In some cases, when gynecomastia is persistent, surgery may be necessary to reduce breast size.
