Gynecomastia

In this world, all creatures are magical. For humans, there are differences between men and women. Similarly, some morphological characteristics or physical conditions of men and women are also very different. However, some people will have some pathological symptoms under pathological conditions, so we must pay attention to our physical health in life. So let's take a look at what is male breast hypertrophy.

1. [Typical symptoms]

The male breast develops unilaterally or bilaterally like a female, with hyperplasia and hypertrophy. The nipple and areola are well developed. A disc-shaped, hard, diffuse mass with clear edges can be felt under the areola. The diameter is mostly 2 to 3 cm. It has a certain degree of mobility and is not adhered to the skin.

2. Other symptoms

A small number of patients experience bloating or mild tenderness, and very rarely nipple discharge.

3. [Diagnostic Basis]

Laboratory tests can help identify the primary disease. Imaging tests such as molybdenum target X-ray, sellar region MRI, adrenal gland CT, abdominal organ ultrasound, thyroid or testicular ultrasound can help confirm the diagnosis.

IV. [Drug treatment]

Selective estrogen receptor antagonists such as tamoxifen, androgens, and aromatase inhibitors such as testosterone are available.

5. [Surgery]

Male breasts with a diameter greater than 4 cm that cannot be reduced for a long time, that significantly affect the appearance, that have no significant effect on drug treatment, and that are suspected of worsening can be treated with surgery to remove the excess breast.

6. Other treatments

Once the cause is diagnosed, treatment is given accordingly. Once the primary disease is cured, the breasts usually return to normal.

VII. [Prognosis]

Some can heal on their own, and some can heal on their own after the primary lesions are cured. The prognosis is generally good after treatment.

8. [Daily Care]

Psychological care, clarify the cause, actively treat, keep a good mood. Strengthen physical exercise, moderate sexual intercourse, and avoid overwork.

9. [Diet adjustment]

Normal diet, easy-to-digest food rich in high-quality protein, vitamins and minerals. Avoid fatty, cold and irritating food. Be careful to avoid eating food containing hormones.
