GYNAECOMASTIA

WHAT IS GYNAECOMSTIA?

Gynaecomastia is the condition in which there is enlargement of male breast, secondary to proliferation of both epithelial and stromal components. It causes boy’s and men’s breasts to swell and become larger than normal. It is mainly caused  when there is  imbalance in sex hormones testosterone and oestrogen. Oestrogen is the hormone that helps the breast to grow and its levels are usually higher in patients of gynaecomastia. It can also occur by some other conditions too like klinefelter syndrome , alcohol misuse etc.

CAUSES OF GYNAECOMASTIA:

These  are some common causes of gynaecomastia:
