Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia

This condition, which is the enlargement of breast tissues in men, occurs when the level of testosterone decreases and goes lower than the estrogen level in the body. Gynecomastia can be present in only one or both breasts. Gynecomastia usually occurs in times when the hormone level in men changes like during puberty but it can also affect newborns and older men. This condition is not a serious concern as the swelling usually subsides on its own. Symptoms also include tenderness of the breasts. Medical attention is needed when there is pain and when there is fluid coming out of either one or both nipples.
