What Is Gynecomastia?

In a layman's  language gynaecomastia  is a condition where males develop ‘female-like’ chest. Also known as "MALE- BOOBS". Gynecomastia is the enlargement of male breast tissue caused by an imbalance of hormones, genetics, certain medications, or lifestyle factors. Common medications like anabolic steroids, natural or synthetic estrogen hormone derivatives, herbal or growth supplements, marijuana (Gaanja), alcohol abuse can lead to gynaecomastia. Gynaecomastia leads to a lots of psychological stress as newer generation is more self conscious. Young males attain stooped posture due to fear of being teased' and limits their outdoor activities, such as going out with friends, being unable to wear their desired clothes etc.. It can affect one or both breasts and is common in adolescent males and older men. Majority of males are looking for surgery and wish to get a solution for this condition to restore their self-confidence. A thorough medical history is taken in the consultation with the board certified plastic surgeon so that the appropriate measures can be taken to get results in the most effective manner after the procedure.
