Gynaecomastia
Gynaecomastia is a condition where there is enlargement of the male breasts.
It is a fairly common condition affecting about 40 % of men of all ages, right from their teens to the late 60's. It is the result of accumulation of fat in the male breast and also of the enlargement of the glandular tissue of the breast.
There is no obvious cause for gynaecomastia, such as disease, etc., but it is believed to be multifactorial. It is commoner in obese individuals, and may result from hormonal fluctuations or as a side effect of certain medications.
Men with gynaecomastia are embarrassed and self-conscious about their appearance. They do not like to wear tight t-shirts, or take off their shirts in public or to go swimming. This affects their social and family life as they are unable to participate in family activities with their children.
