What causes enlarged breasts in men?

Generally speaking, women feel more beautiful if they have larger breasts, but if men have enlarged breasts, it can be said to be abnormal and a disease. This disease can occur at any age. As for why men's breasts become enlarged, people must understand the relevant reasons so that they can treat the cause.

One is testicular disease such as testicular tumor, which reduces the secretion of male hormones and increases the relative level of female hormones.

The second is an increase in the amount of estrogen produced in the male body, such as adrenal gland disease or pituitary disease, both of which will increase the estrogen production of the adrenal glands in the body.

The third is liver disease, such as hepatitis and cirrhosis, which is due to the decline of liver function, so that the estrogen in the body cannot be broken down and eliminated in the liver, resulting in a relative increase in estrogen.

The fourth is the effect of drugs, such as long-term use of estrogen drugs, which can also cause breast enlargement as a side effect. However, this enlargement is temporary and will gradually disappear after stopping the drug.

There is another physiological phenomenon of breast enlargement, which is that after entering puberty, the testicles of adolescent boys secrete male hormones, but the secretion is not enough, but a small amount of estrogen is also secreted at the same time. This temporary increase in estrogen will disappear automatically as the boy grows up and the male hormone secretion is sufficient. If a very few boys continue to have enlarged breasts, they should go to the hospital for examination, find out the cause, and give treatment.
