Gynecomastia (commonly referred to as “man boobs”) is a condition in which male breasts get enlarged more than their usual size. In this condition, male breasts look more similar to female breasts. The primary cause for this breast enlargement in males is hormonal imbalance. Usually, females will have low testosterone and high estrogen levels, thus developing breasts. On the contrary, males will have high testosterone and low estrogen levels, thus having no considerable breast formation. When a male body experiences changes in this hormonal balance, they start developing breast tissues which lead to enlarged breast in men. Another major cause of the development of male breasts is fat deposits. For some obese or overweight men, fat gets accumulated in their chest region like in other parts (belly, thighs, face) of the body. This scenario is medically termed Psedugynacomastia. Gynecomastia need not necessarily prevail even across both breasts. There are chances for non-symmetric Gynecomastia in which either of the two breasts gets enlarged and the other remains normal.
