What is Gynecomastia?

It is believed that gynecomastia is caused by changes in the hormone estrogen to androgens. Gynecomastia is caused due to an increase in estrogen production, reduction of androgen production, or a mixture of these two variables. Estrogen which is a development hormone increases the size of male breast tissue. The cause of gynecomastia is not clear in about 25% of cases.

Gynecomastia found in adolescents is resolved by itself, and for some time it can be ignored. If it is not resolved, then treatment is suggested by the doctor after seeing the patient.

What Causes Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia naturally occurs at different stages in a man’s life. These phases are:

New Born babies: Newborn babies are still under the effect of estrogen, which they receive from their mothers as they develop in the womb. More than half of newborns are born with enlarged breasts. Gynecomastia disappears in two to three weeks after the birth of the child.

In Adolescence: Hormone levels change during puberty (usually 12 to 14 years). Breast enlargement usually disappears six months to two years after puberty.

In Grown Men: Breast enlargement often reaches peak levels in men between the ages of 50 and 80 years due to fat tissue or hormonal imbalances.

And some of the medications, diseases, and conditions can cause gynecomastia.

  • Medications like corticosteroids, antibiotics, herbs, tea tree oil, opioids, heartburn, and anti-anxiety can cause gynecomastia.
  • Gynecomastia also associated with some conditions and treatments like obesity, low testosterone levels, cirrhosis, and hyperthyroidism.
  • Obesity, which can cause more estrogen
  • Any cause that affects the production of testosterone
  • Some infants may get gynecomastia because their mother’s hormones are still in their bodies.
