Did you know that approximately 40% - 60% of the male population suffers from a medical condition called gynecomastia? Although it affects a significant percentage of the male population, many are still not aware of what this condition really is. Some even do not know that suffering, especially obese men. Obesity is associated with the presence of female breasts. But in some cases, there may be underlying causes (usually hormonal) that trigger its development.
Technically speaking, gynecomastia can be classified into two types - pseudoginecomastia and gynecomastia. Gynecomastia is most common between the two. It is characterized by the development of breasts in men similar to that of women, causing abnormal enlargement of the mammary glands. There are many factors that can influence the abnormal growth of breasts in males. Before looking at ways to reduce it, it is vital that you understand what is the cause.
The development of gynaecomastia is typically associated with the imbalance of testosterone and estrogen in the male body. Normally, males produce estrogen in very low numbers (being a hormone prevalent in women). But with gynecomastia, the body's levels extremely high to extremely low levels of estrogen and testosterone. When this happens, the male breast will enlarge abnormally, even in a painful way, sometimes. Although gynecomastia often affects teenage boys in their puberty, children and elderly males may also suffer. The
pseudoginecomastia, on the other hand, can look very similar to gynecomastia, but the breast enlargement is usually caused by the presence of excess adipose tissue, rather than by the growth of glandular tissue. To put it simply, this type of gynecomastia is usually caused by the formation of fat around the male breast. The best way to eliminate this type of gynecomastia is through exercise and diet.
Unlike gynecomastia "true", the pseudoginecomastia is much easier to treat. The surgery, in particular the iposcultura, is a common surgical procedure used in the treatment pseudoginecomastia.
It is best to consult a doctor to determine exactly what type is your problem. You will have to make a series of medical tests and examinations to determine if you suffer from gynecomastia or pseudoginecomastia.
