WHAT IS GYNECOMASTIA?

Gynecomastia is a condition that causes boys and men to experience swelling of the breast tissue, sometimes accompanied by pain or tenderness. This condition does not pose any serious medical harm to the individuals it affects and often goes away on its own over time. Despite the lack of health risk that this condition poses, it is often difficult for affected individuals to cope with the symptoms of gynecomastia.

WHAT CAUSES THIS CONDITION?

In many cases, gynecomastia is triggered by changes in the levels of estrogen and testosterone in the body that naturally occur with age. These fluctuations in hormone levels are most common during infancy, puberty, and middle/old age.

Hormone levels can also be impacted by drug and alcohol use and the consumption of certain medications, including:

  • Antibiotics
  • Anti-anxiety drugs
  • Heart medications
  • AIDS treatments
  • Certain antidepressants
  • Chemotherapy
  • Heartburn medications
