Gynecomastia 

• Gynecomastia is very beneficial surgery that is
  helpful for getting rid of extra fat on men chest
  and give awful look.
• Gynecomastia is swelling of the breast tissue in
  boys or men, caused by an imbalance of the
  hormones estrogen and testosterone.

4
Causes

• Gynecomastia is thought to be caused by an
  altered ratio of estrogens to androgens mediated
  by an increase in estrogen production, a decrease
  in androgen production, or a combination of these
  two factors. Estrogen acts as a growth hormone to
  increase the size of male breast tissue. The
  cause of gynecomastia is unknown in around 25 of
  cases. Drugs are estimated to cause 1025 of
  cases of gynecomastia.
• Certain health problems in men such as liver
  disease, kidney failure or low testosterone can
  cause breast growth in men. Drugs and liver
  disease are the most common cause in adults

5
Signs and symptoms

• The classic feature of gynecomastia is male
  breast enlargement with soft, compressible, and
  mobile subcutaneous chest tissue palpated under
  the areola of the nipple in contrast to softer
  fatty tissue. This enlargement may occur on one
  side or both. Dimpling of the skin and nipple
  retraction are not typical features of
  gynecomastia.
• Milky discharge from the nipple is also not a
  typical finding, but may be seen in a
  gynecomastic individual with a prolactin
  secreting tumor. Males with gynecomastia may
  appear anxious or stressed due to concerns about
  the possibility of having breast cancer. An
  increase in the diameter of the areola and
  asymmetry of chest tissue are other possible
  signs of gynecomastia

Diagnosis

• To diagnose gynecomastia, a thorough history and
  physical examination are obtained by a physician.
  Important aspects of the physical examination
  include evaluation of the male breast tissue with
  palpation to evaluate for breast cancer and
  pseudogynecomastia (male breast tissue
  enlargement solely due to excess fatty tissue),
  evaluation of penile size and development.
• A review of the medications or illegal substances
  an individual takes may reveal the cause of
  gynecomastia.Recommended laboratory
  investigations to find the underlying cause of
  gynecomastia include tests for aspartate
  transaminase and alanine transaminase to rule out
  liver disease, serum creatinine to determine if
  kidney damage is present, and thyroid-stimulating
  hormone levels to evaluate for hyperthyroidism

Treatment

• Mild cases of gynecomastia in adolescence may be
  treated with advice on lifestyle habits such as
  proper diet and exercise with reassurance. In
  more severe cases, medical treatment may be tried
  including surgical intervention.
• Medication
• Surgery
• Other

8
Prognosis

• Gynecomastia is not physically harmful, but in
  some cases it may be an indicator of other more
  serious underlying conditions, such as testicular
  cancer. The glandular tissue typically grows
  under the influence of hormonal stimulation and
  is often tender or painful.
• Weight loss can alter the condition in cases
  triggered by obesity, but losing weight will not
  reduce the glandular component and patients
  cannot target areas for weight loss. Massive
  weight loss can result in sagging chest tissue
  known as chest ptosis.
