Why is my chest like a woman's

Patient's question:

Weight has been increasing for several years.

Doctor's answer:

Medical Analysis: Hello, gynecomastia in males is known as male breast development. It commonly occurs before and after puberty and in old age. The pathological manifestation is the proliferation of ducts without alveolar proliferation. It is generally divided into two major categories: primary and secondary. Primary cases are more common in pubertal boys and elderly men, primarily caused by transient elevation of endogenous estrogen or a decrease in androgen, which often resolves on its own. Secondary cases are commonly associated with liver diseases, testicular diseases, adrenal diseases, thyroid diseases, diabetes, or tumors in the urogenital or nervous systems, long-term use of estrogen for prostatic diseases, or long-term use of certain medications for other conditions.
Advice: Hello, if the breasts are very large, it may be due to breast hyperplasia. It is recommended to have a breast ultrasound examination at the hospital. If it is confirmed, surgical treatment may be an option.
