  • Gynecomastia is strictly a male disease and is
    any growth of the adipose (fatty) and glandular
    tissue in a male breast. Not all breast growth in
    men is considered abnormal, just excess growth.
  • The cause of enlarged breasts is unknown. Among
    older men, Gynecomastia Forum often results from
    decreasing levels of the male sex hormone
    testosterone, which diminishes with advancing
    age. In addition, men experience an increase in
    body fat with age and a resultant rise in the
    ratio of the female sex hormones (estrogens) to
    the male sex hormones (androgens).
  • Medications may also cause enlarged breasts,
    including
  • Anti-androgens used to treat prostate enlargement
    or cancer and some other conditions
  • AIDS medications
  • Anti-anxiety medications
  • Tricyclic antidepressants
  • Antibiotics
  • Ulcer medications

  • If you use drugs that may cause the condition,
    you are not a good candidate for Male Breast
    Reduction Treatment. Your doctor will likely
    first advise you to stop using these drugs or to
    switch to other medications that do not cause
    gynecomastia. However, never stop taking a
    prescription medication without talking to your
    doctor first.
  • Diseases may cause enlarged breasts as well.
    These may include
  • Any conditions that interfere with normal
    testosterone production
  • Some tumors, such as those involving the testes,
    adrenal glands or pituitary gland
  • Hyperthyroidism (the thyroid gland produces too
    much thyroid hormone)
  • Kidney failure
  • Liver failure and cirrhosis
  • Malnutrition

Gynecomastia Forum - There are several options
you may want to consider. In order of severity,
they are listed below Herb Treatment
Some men have used turmeric root to cure
for Male Breast Surgery . This has achieved
varying degrees of success. Some men have seen
the results diminished over time. This is
probably the least evasive and least expensive
treatment option. This treatment has not been
proven to effective. Chemical Treatment
Some physicians are currently
prescribing chemical treatment with clomiphen
(estrogen antagonist), danazol (antigonadoprophic)
, tamoxifen (antestrogen) and dihydrotestosterone
to cure gynecomastia, however, again there are
no studies that actually prove this is an
effective treatment.

Cosmetic Surgery or Male Breast Reduction Surgery
is also an option for gynecomastia. Using a
scalpel, the excess glandular tissue is cut out
with a scalpel. Male Breast Reduction Surgery
-The procedure is performed either under
intravenous sedation or general anesthesia. If
the surgery is being performed to remove excess
fatty tissue, liposuction techniques alone may be
used. Using a cannula, a thin hollow tube, and
several small incisions. The excess fat is
removed from the body by vacuum suction. The
excision techniques are used when the breast
tissue or excess skin must be removed to fix the
Gynecomastia. This is also used to reduce the
areola or the nipple is repositioned to a more
natural male contour.
