Gynecomastia is a disease that causes a physical deformity which in turn brings in a lot of shame and embarrassment. The natural tendency is to hide the deformity for fear of being stared at or ridiculed. This is a state of denial. One has to come out of it and accept the truth. Only then you would take the right course of action, which is to consult your doctor.
Gynecomastia is a disease that is avoided to be discussed and thus to be treated for a long time. In lay man terms it is known as male boobs. The abnormal mammary glands development in males causes breast enlargement. Sometimes it is accompanied with milk secretion, sometimes not.
During puberty many boys develop large breasts but often it is a temporary condition which passes off naturally within a year or two. It is also a common side effect of weight gain in case of the aged people. But, in the majority of cases, it is the result of hormonal imbalance in the body.
Whatever be the case, it is best to consult the doctor. The doctor will examine the patient and take a few tests to eliminate the chances of testicular tumor. If he suspects tumor, he will tell the patient get a biopsy done to detect the early stage of cancer.
Sometimes pseudogynecomastia is mistaken for gynecomastia and it causes unnecessary trauma. Peudogynecomastia is caused by weight gain and excessive fat accumulation in the chest area because of lack of chest fat burner exercises. The doctor will confirm whether it is gynecomastia or pseudogynecomastia.
There are various instances of gynecomastia that cannot be tracked for any particular reason. It has been estimated that around twenty five percent of the cases are rather idiopathic in nature. However, the general causes for gynecomastia can be:
- Lack of chest fat burner exercises - Rising rate of serum estrogen - The defects in androgen receptor - Chronic disease of liver - Chronic disease of kidney - Medications - Falling rate of testosterone - AIDS treatment - Various chronic diseases - Spinal cord injury
The medication for certain diseases that can cause gynecomastia are:
- Androgens - Estrogen Agonists - Anabolic Steroids - Anti-androgens - Ketoconazole - Isoniazid - Metronidazole - Anti-ulcer medicines - Chemotherapeutics for cancer - Cardiovascular medicines - Psychoactive medicines - Penicillamine - Alcohol - Marijuana
These medicines disturb the normal rate of secretion of hormones. Gynecomastia is the result of the abnormal hormone activities. It is curable provided the right treatment is taken for which it is imperative to consult the doctor and take quick action.
