What is Gynaecomastia?
Gynaecomastia is a condition where males experience enlarged breast tissue, it can affect one or both breasts. It often results from an imbalance between testosterone and estrogen levels, which can be triggered by hormonal changes during puberty, ageing, medications, or health issues. While not usually harmful, gynaecomastia can cause psychological distress and body image concerns. Treatment may involve lifestyle changes, medication, or surgery to remove excess tissue.
