Patient's question:
Patient is male, 33 years old, with left breast enlargement. He went to the hospital for examination. The doctor said it was gynecomastia. The five blood test indicators were also normal. The doctor recommended surgery, but I don't want to do it. How should it be treated? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Gynecomastia is relatively common in men and can be seen in certain normal physiological states and certain diseases. After middle age, when men begin to experience a decline in sexual function, transient gynecomastia often occurs, possibly due to an increase in the secretion of pituitary gonadotropins, leading to an imbalance in sex hormone levels.Advice: Based on your condition, it can be determined that you have physiological gynecomastia. As for whether treatment is necessary, some people prefer treatment while others prefer not to treat, so not treating does not pose any health risks. My suggestion is that if the gynecomastia is relatively mild, it can be hidden by wearing a supportive men's bra. If it is more severe, surgical reduction may be required.
