How to recognize and correctly interpret symptoms?
The main sign of pathology is a change in the outer contour of the breast. The fact is that in athletic men, the pectoral muscle forms a straight line. Due to the presence of additional glandular and adipose tissue, gynecomastia makes this contour rounded.
- Presence of seals. They are found on palpation of the chest of a man with gynecomastia. There are lumps in the nipple area and even behind them
- Nipple areola abnormalities. As the disease progresses, the nipple-areola complex becomes more convex. It changes in size and reacts to various factors, including the emotional state of a person
Many patients complain of pain or discomfort in the breasts, as well as itching in the nipple area. However, gynecomastia often manifests itself without pain. An important symptom of pathology is discharge from the nipple. They indicate disorders in the level of prolactin in the body.
General information about the procedure
Features of surgical treatment
The growth of the mammary glands rarely stops on its own - in 90% of cases, the pathology progresses.
The following degrees of gynecomastia are distinguished:
- First (up to 3x3 cm). In this case, treatment is carried out on an outpatient basis. In this case, the patient returns home on the same day. Modern techniques and tools minimize the visibility of scars, and self-absorbable sutures facilitate the rehabilitation process
- Second. Complex surgery is required, accompanied by hospitalization. In addition to gynecomastia removal, liposuction is often required to correct the surrounding adipose tissue
There are also advanced cases. At the same time, the volume of a man's chest can be compared to a woman's size 3. Treatment in this case includes a set of measures - removal of glandular and adipose tissue, liposuction and, possibly, skin tightening. After gynecomastia surgery in men, such a patient is under the supervision of doctors for several days.

What is gynecomastia and why does it occur?
Gynecomastia can be false and true. Pathology occurs at any age, for various reasons. In young children and adolescents, this condition is most often due to physiological processes and usually goes away on its own. In middle-aged and older men (40-60 years), the development of true gynecomastia is due to a natural decrease in testosterone levels.
Factors that can catalyze the development of gynecomastia in men include:
Unlike true gynecomastia, false gynecomastia is not due to hormonal imbalance, but to environmental and lifestyle factors. Often the main cause of its development is low physical activity and obesity. In addition, some people have a genetic predisposition to fat deposits in the breast area. This makes this area vulnerable even with an active lifestyle.
