What is gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is overdevelopment of the male breast. In response to too much
estrogen (a female hormone) or too little
testosterone
(a male hormone), the glandular tissue of the breast swells and forms a
breast bud (enlarged breast). Gynecomastia can occur in babies, teen
boys, and older men.
What causes gynecomastia?
In
newborns, gynecomastia
is caused by estrogen from the mother. Breast buds are common in baby boys. Breast buds tend to
go away gradually by 6 months of age, but they can last longer in some babies.
In
preteen boys, gynecomastia can also be caused by an estrogen-producing tumor.
Breast buds are common during puberty. The buds may
last up to 2 years, but they tend to go away within the first year.
In
teen boys, gynecomastia is caused by the hormonal changes of
puberty. Gynecomastia occurs in many boys during early puberty to middle
puberty. It usually goes away within 6 months to 2 years.
In
adult males, gynecomastia is usually caused by another
condition, such as liver or lung cancer,
cirrhosis of the liver, overactive thyroid, or by
hormone problems, such as cancer of the
pituitary gland,
adrenal glands, or testicles. Alcohol, marijuana,
methamphetamine, and heroin use also may cause gynecomastia.
Use
of certain medicines may also cause gynecomastia, including:
What are the symptoms?
In addition to having
enlarged breasts, men or boys with gynecomastia may notice their breasts feel
rubbery or firm. Boys may have a breast bud on one or both sides about the size
of a nickel or quarter. Breast buds are common in adolescent boys
during puberty. They may last up to 2 years, but they tend to go away within
the first year.
How is gynecomastia diagnosed?
Gynecomastia can
usually be diagnosed from a
physical examination and medical history. In most
cases, tests are not necessary. But if the breast lump is unusually large,
one-sided, tender, or hard and fixed, a
biopsy may be done to rule out other
problems.
Any man who finds a one-sided breast lump should let his
doctor know if he has close relatives who have had
breast cancer (mother,
sister, or daughter). If there is any concern about cancer, a lump can be
checked with a biopsy or surgery.
How is it treated?
Gynecomastia in babies and
teens normally does not require treatment and will usually go away on its own.
If it is caused by medicine or disease, stopping the medicine or treating the disease
will often cure the gynecomastia. If it is caused by a lack of testosterone and
increase in estrogen, hormonal treatment may be prescribed.
Male Breast Enlargement (Gynecomastia)
Experts explain the causes of and treatments for gynecomastia, or male breast enlargement.

"My
own breasts became enlarged when I was a teenager," says the New York
plastic surgeon. "It was very embarrassing. Once, I went to my locker
after gym class and saw that a classmate had hung a bra on it."
Why It Happens
Male
breast enlargement can start in puberty as hormone levels are shifting.
In those cases, it typically doesn't last long, ending without
treatment as hormone levels settle down.
Enlarged
breasts can also start in adulthood. As men age, they tend to lose
testosterone and gain weight. Lower testosterone can lead to enlargement
of glands in the breasts. Extra weight adds fatty tissue under the
breasts. That can leave a man with bigger glandular tissue and more fat
in his breasts. Fat cells make small amounts of estrogen, which can
further enlarge men's breasts.
Though
it can be embarrassing, male breast enlargement usually isn't a health
threat. But in some men, it can be a sign of low testosterone, an
overactive thyroid, cirrhosis of the liver, a genetic problem, or some
cancers. Certain medications can also cause gynecomastia. Common
culprits include anabolic steroids, as well as the stomach acid drug
cimetidine (Tagamet), the heart drug spironolactone (Aldactone), the
prostate cancer drug bicalutamide (Casodex), and several other drugs.
In many cases, stopping the offending drug and switching to another helps reduce enlarged breasts.
Abusing alcohol and marijuana can also contribute to gynecomastia.
In
many cases, the exact cause isn't clear. It's wise to make an
appointment with a board-certified endocrinologist to make sure, even if
your male breast enlargement hasn't bothered you a lot.
How to Treat 'Man Boobs'
The treatment depends on the cause.
If another health condition is causing your enlarged breasts, treating that underlying condition may help.
If
the reason for enlarged breasts is being overweight, weight loss is
often the first step, says Glenn Braunstein, MD. That’s good for your
overall health, too. Braunstein is chairman of the department of
medicine at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
If
you have a lot of weight to lose, it may not shrink your breasts back
to normal size, due to the stretched-out skin. Plastic surgery is an
option for that.
Surgical
options for enlarged breasts are to get liposuction to remove fat and
scalpel surgery to remove glandular tissue. A plastic surgeon does the
surgery, which takes 60-90 minutes. It's an outpatient procedure,
meaning no overnight stay, and it often dramatically improves
appearance.
Jacobs has never sought treatment for his own breast enlargement.
"Over
the years, I sort of got used to it," he says. But he has done
breast-reduction surgery on more than 1,500 men, transforming lives in
the process. "For the first time in years, these men are standing up
straight and wearing tight shirts," he says. "Literally and
figuratively, a weight has been lifted off their chests."
