Got a Great Pair of Man
Boobs?
One thing a
man doesn't want is to grow a pair of breasts as if he
were a woman. This is a socially embarrassing condition
that is probably much more common than you think. It is
an actual medical condition, that many men
affected by it don't even know they have (because they
are overweight and just assume it is part of the
package).
There are two
possible medical causes for man boobs, Gynecomastia
or Pseudogynecomastia. Which type you have
determines what course of action is best for effective
treatment. It's critical that you figure out which type
you have, because the treatments are very different.
Gynecomastia
is common during adolescence. It occurs by a combination
of:
| |
 |
Increase in Estrogen |
|
|
Decrease of Testosterone |
|
Most
teenagers who experience this simply grow out of it, but
some don't.
There are
other causes of unwanted man boobs however, including
weight gain when you have a predisposition to accumulate
the extra weight in your chest. This is common for men
who used to bench press but stopped many years
ago.
Also, some
medications are known to bring on the dreaded man
boob condition, including:
| |
|
|
Cimetidine |
|
|
Spironolactone |
|
|
Finasteride |
|
There are
other possible medical conditions behind the problem as
well; for example a thyroid condition.
Whatever the
reason is behind your having grown breasts, it is
important that you properly diagnose and treat it.
Sporting a pair of man boobs can result in low self
esteem that seeps out into other areas of your life,
whether you realize it or not. We urge you to explore
this website and pursue the resources here, so you can
take your shirt off in public with confidence again.
