Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello, in normal circumstances, male breast development does not occur in men. When various causes lead to a relative or absolute increase in estrogen levels in the body, and breast epithelial cells are stimulated by excessive estrogen, a very small number of men may develop unilateral or bilateral breast enlargement.Medical Advice: If a man discovers breast enlargement, he should seek medical diagnosis as soon as possible. If it is physiological or drug-induced, there is no need to be overly anxious, as it can often resolve on its own or after discontinuing the medication. If it is pathological, it is important to identify the underlying cause and treat it promptly. Early and effective treatment for male breast enlargement can restore normalcy, but if the condition has persisted for a long time and the breast tissue has become severely, irreversible changes may occur, requiring surgical intervention.
Lifestyle Management: Currently, Western medicine does not have a practical treatment method for this condition, primarily relying on hormone antagonism and surgical removal. Since the causes of male gynecomastia are complex, different treatments are required depending on the underlying cause. Primary gynecomastia in adolescents often has a tendency to resolve on its own, with most cases returning to normal within 6 months.
