Gynecomastia
Enlargement of the Male Gynecomestia is medically termed as Gynecomastia.
A normal male chest is flat with very little tissue under the nipple areola complex.
In certain individuals this Gynecomestia tissue under the nipple areola enlarges to give rise to gynecomastia. the enlargement of the Gynecomestia can range from mild to severe forms and can be on one side or both sides.
Gynecomastia generally manifests during the pubertal growth phase of 14 to 18 yrs. Rarely in certain cases it may manifest at an earlier age. Most of the cases of pubertal gynecomastia are idiopathic, that is without any particular cause factor. It is thought to be due to certain hormonal imbalance during the pubertal growth spurt. In most of such cases the gynecomastia resolves on it’s own over a period of few months.
If this gynecomastia gland fails to resolve in a span of six months then it is very unlikely to go away on it’s own. There are no reliable medicines that can cure gynecomastia and Plastic surgical correction is the most reliable form of treatment.
