Gynaecomastia (also spelled gynecomastia) is the benign enlargement of male breast tissue. This condition affects approximately 30% of men at some point in their lives and can occur in one or both breasts. While medically benign in most cases, the psychological and social impact can be significant, affecting self-esteem, body image, and daily activities.
Abnormal and excessive enlargement of male breasts.. This may be distressing to many men because gynecomastia can be referred to as “man boobs.” Most men avoid taking their shirts off and avoid bathing suit season.
1)True Gynecomastia: True enlargement of male breast glandular tissue.
2)Pseudo-gynecomastia: Excessive fatty breast tissue. Excessive number and size of fat cells or adipocytes is the culprit.
3)Excessive skin of breasts: The problem here is a large excessive envelope of stretched skin. This type of gynecomastia is common after excessive weight loss and may be referred to as “hanging man boobs.”
4)Combination of all of the above: Stretch marks are commonly associated with any or all of the above types of gynecomastia.
Studies have shown a multitude of benefits:
Increased bone density
Increased muscle tissue
Improved skin tone
Hair growth
Rejuvenation of heart, kidney, lung, and liver function
In the case of true gynecomastia, the problem is almost always a result of a long lasting hormonal imbalance where the level of female hormone estrogen is higher than it should normally be. With other forms of gynecomastia, hormonal abnormalities may or may not play a role. Obese males, however, usually have a contributing metabolic or hormonal disorder.
