Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is the enlargement of breast tissue in men. This can be caused by hormonal changes, genetic factors, drug use, or obesity. Gynecomastia can negatively affect men's physical appearance and self-confidence.

Gynecomastia usually manifests itself with symptoms such as swelling, tenderness and pain in the breast tissue. This can happen due to hormonal imbalances, increased estrogen levels, decreased testosterone levels, or obesity.

Treatment may vary depending on the cause of gynecomastia. Hormonal therapy can be applied in gynecomastia due to hormonal reasons. In gynecomastia due to reasons such as drug use or obesity, weight loss may be recommended together with diet and exercise.

However, if the gynecomastia condition is persistent or causes self-confidence problems, surgical intervention may be required. Surgical intervention is carried out by removing excess breast tissue or tightening the skin. This procedure is simple enough that it can usually be performed under local anesthesia and the duration of the procedure may vary depending on the condition of the person. The healing process may also vary depending on the condition of the person and the size of the procedure.
