Some men and boys have fat on their chests that makes it look like they have breasts. This condition is called pseudogynecomastia (false gynecomastia). It is not the same thing as gynecomastia. What causes gynecomastia? Gynecomastia is usually caused by changes in hormones at puberty or as part of aging. Hormones are chemicals produced by the glands of the body, such as the thyroid gland, the testes and the ovaries. Scientists believe that gynecomastia may be caused by changes in the balance of two hormones, estrogen and testosterone. In rare cases gynecomastia is caused by prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, illegal drugs, tumors or disease. Are laboratory tests needed to find the cause of gynecomastia?

Advanced Search American Family Physician Articles Departments Patient Information Editorials ... Special Medical Reports This is an Abstract from the April 1997 edition of American Family Physician Evaluation and Treatment of Gynecomastia JANIS F. NEUMAN, M.D. Kaiser Permanente Medical Center, Fontana, California Gynecomastia is a proliferation of the glandular component of the male breast. Causes include altered estrogen-androgen levels, aging, puberty, chronic disease, tumors and drugs. The physician must determine whether the condition has a physiologic or pathologic cause. Pubertal gynecomastia is generally physiologic and regresses without treatment. The likelihood of pathology is increased in patients over 26 years of age who present with new-onset gynecomastia. A thorough history, a complete physical examination and an appropriate clinical evaluation facilitate the prompt diagnosis and treatment of this condition.

Gynecomastia and Systemic Mastocytosis Valerie L Ward, MD Christine M Denison, MD September 3, 1996 Presentation A 58-year-old man presented with a palpable left breast mass. Imaging Findings Mammography: craniocaudal view Mammography: mediolateral oblique view Demonstration mammogram from another patient Anteroposterior plain radiograph of the pelvis MRI of the humerus This man's mammogram demonstrates a focal opacity ( arrow ) in the central retroareolar region of the left breast. The more typical mammographic appearance of gynecomastia is a flame-shaped opacity which extends and expands posteriorly from the nipple. This flame-shaped opacity is better demonstrated on a craniocaudal mammogram from another patient ( arrow ). (The lead marker denotes the nipple.) This man's diffusely dense bones are demonstrated on a plain radiograph of the pelvis. A magnetic resonance image (MRI) of his humerus shows diffusely hypointense T1-weighted signal ( arrows ) in the bone marrow caused by the presence of innumerable mast cells. Differential Diagnosis Etiologies for a unilateral breast mass in a man include abscess, hematoma, lipoma, sebaceous cyst, gynecomastia, and carcinoma.

Advanced Art of Cosmetic Surgery Thomas M. DeWire, Sr., MD, FACS Specializing in Cosmetic Plastic Surgery Richmond, Virginia, USA Body Contouring Gynecomastia Gynecomastia Treatment or Correction of Male Breast Over-development: Male breast over-development or Gynecomastia is generally a bilateral and symmetrical anatomical abnormality of male breast maturation. Occasionally due to endocrine hormone abnormalities, the process most often occurs with no apparent cause in adolescent or fully mature males. Obesity may be a contributing factor, but equally often the problem is simply due to undesirable pectoral fat storage and some element of glandular tissue enlargement in the male breast. Certain medications may also contribute to the development of Gynecomastia , especially drugs used for hormonal treatments of some male cancers. Gynecomastia usually does not signal the presence of any "disease", but since

45. GYNECOMASTIA gynecomastia It is easier to treat the condition in men who are close to ideal body weight (ie gynecomastia NOT mostly due to being overweight). http://www.advanced-art.com/Z-gynecomastia.htm

GYNECOMASTIA: You may be surprised that gynecomastia information is one of my most frequently visited pages, so there are a lot of men out there with the same concerns. This surgery is usually done under local anesthesia with or without a mild sedation in the office. It is easier to treat the condition in men who are close to ideal body weight (i.e. gynecomastia NOT mostly due to being overweight). The risks are those of most surgeries, and include bleeding (usually minor), infection (rare), scarring (usually mild), blood or fluid build-up (uncommon), contour irregularities (unusual), need for touch-up (uncommon), and dissatisfaction (also uncommon if the patient has a realistic expectation). Cost is currently $3 00 for Surgery/supplies/anesthesia in the office, but may be higher depending upon the particular problem. We recently moved into new facilities, with certified ORs, and still maintain a fee structure below that of the surrounding hospitals. If you have further questions, let me know. We currently have a relationship with MBNA bank for unsecured financing loans for qualified cosmetic surgery patients, although many patients achieve suitable financing, at reasonable rates, via their credit unions or home equity loans. Please call the office for details concerning the MBNA program. An informative online version of my brochure is found at: www.plasticsurgery.org/surgery/gyne.htm

Encyclopedia Index G Home Encyclopedia Encyclopedia Index G Gynecomastia Definition Gyne refers to female, and mastia refers to the breast. Gynecomastia is strictly a male disease and is any growth of the adipose (fatty) and glandular tissue in a male breast. Not all breast growth in men is considered abnormal, just excess growth. Causes and symptoms Breast growth is directed exclusively by female hormonesestrogens. Although men have some estrogen in their system, it is usually insufficient to cause much breast enlargement because it is counterbalanced by male hormonesandrogens. Upsetting the balance, either by more of one or less of the other, results in the male developing female characteristics, breast growth being foremost. At birth both male and female infants will have little breast buds from their mother's hormones. These recede until adolescence, when girls always, and boys sometimes, have breast growth. At this time, the boy's breast growth is minimal, often one-sided and temporary. Extra or altered sex chromosomes can produce intersex problems of several kinds. Breast growth along with male genital development is seen in Klinefelter syndromethe condition of having an extra X (female) chromosomeand a few other chromosomal anomalies. One of the several glands that produce hormones can malfunction for reasons other than chromosomes. Failure of androgen production is as likely to produce gynecomastia as overabundant estrogen production. Testicular failure and castration can also be a cause. Some cancers and some benign tumors can make estrogens. Lung

49. Anabolic Steroids And Gynecomastia, Female Breast Development In Men. Editor s Note gynecomastia, also known as gyno and bitch tits, is female breast development in men. gynecomastia is a common side http://www.anabolicsteroids.com/gynecomastia.html

Back To www.anabolicsteroids.com I Have Found That The Higher The Dosages And The Longer The Cycles Of Anabolic Steroids The Better Your Chances For Getting "Bitch-Tits". "Hey there, I'm a 21 year old male from NJ. First I'd like to say, to all those juice-heads out there who insist that they are only taking creatine and aminos, give it a rest!!! Creatine and aminos may be good supplements, but there is no way in HELL that they are gonna put the size on like anabolic steroids do! Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the use of steroids, actually if taken properly they usually produce positive results. However, the "roids" are supposed to make your muscles bigger guys, not your ability to tell a lie. In other words, if you are man enough to take the juice, be man enough to admit it, so stop the Bullsh*t! I have been around anabolic steroids for 6 years now, and I learn something new everyday. One of the best things that I have learned is that anti-estrogens such as Nolvadex and Proviron really do work, and are certainly worth taking. In my experience, Nolvadex is better than Proviron, but only cause it's stronger, so when you are already taking other pills, it can be a pain in the ass keeping up with all the Proviron. I have seen numerous differences when Anti-estrogens are taken with your regular cycle. Now I'm talking about over a dozen people over a period of a few years, not just one guy, one time. What you have to realize is that when you take most anabolic steroids, they also have a Androgenic effect as well. To keep it simple, "your Testosterone level is gonna rise". In a way this is a good short term effect, because this is what will cause most of your strength gains, while the anabolic steroids will give you your size gains. But, your body will begin to produce Estrogen to balance the Testosterone levels. So, the more your Testosterone level increases through the amount of steroids you take, and the length of your cycle, the more your Estrogen level will increase as well. This irregular raise in Estrogen, can cause several side effects. The biggest is "gyno" better known as "bitch tits".

Gynecomastia is a benign condition, which is characterized by enlargement of the male breast. It affects about 50% of all men and, although benign, can be socially and psychologically devastating. It usually begins in adolescence as a result of normal hormonal changes. If it does not resolve within several years many men choose surgical correction and obtain excellent results. A small incision is made beneath the breast around the areola (the dark skin surrounding the nipples). Excess fat and glandular tissue are removed, both directly and with liposuction and ultrasonic assisted liposuction . The result is a flatter, firmer and normally contoured chest. It would be rare for gynecomastia to return after surgery. Can I combine GYNECOMASTIA removal with other plastic surgery procedures?

MALE BREAST REDUCTION GYNECOMASTIA Procedures Breast / Chest Gynecomastia, or excess development of breast tissue, occurs in as many as 40 - 60% of men. The cause is not always known, but the incidence increases with certain drugs (digitalis, anabolic steroids, Tagamet, and spironolactone), use of marijuana or alcohol, and obesity. This condition can cause extreme embarrassment, social inhibition and self-consciousness for boys and men who suffer from it If you think that you have this condition, you should consult with your physician to rule out a more serious condition such as liver or endocrine disease. If you are otherwise healthy, breast reduction surgery may significantly help your appearance and self-image. This procedure is used to remove fat and/or glandular tissue from the breasts. In extreme cases, skin is removed as well. The result is a flatter, firmer and more masculine-looking chest. If you're considering male breast reduction, the following information will provide you with a good introduction to the procedure. For more detailed information about how this procedure may help you, we recommend that you consult a plastic surgeon who is board certified or has completed a residency program that includes instruction in this procedure.
