Patient's question:
What medication should be taken for gynecomastia?Doctor's answer:
Hello, friend, gynecomastia in men differs from female breasts in that histologically there are no lactating acini, only hyperplasia and cystic expansion of the milk ducts, along with hyperplasia of fibrous and adipose tissue. This condition often occurs during puberty and is commonly associated with congenital testicular hypoplasia, and can also be seen in cases of liver dysfunction. Patients may exhibit feminizing signs, such as a high-pitched voice or lack of facial hair. This condition can also occur in adults, often secondary to inflammation, trauma, testicular atrophy, or testicular malignancies. Additionally, long-term use of diuretics, isoniazid, digitalis, and other medications, especially in elderly men with long-term estrogen treatment for prostate cancer, is also common in breast enlargement. Clinical manifestations may include breast enlargement, tenderness, or pain. Generally, treatment is not necessary, as the condition often resolves on its own. Surgical intervention may be required if necessary. I hope my advice is helpful to you. Wishing you a speedy recovery!!!
