Gynecomastia is abnormal breast enlargement in men. The term comes from the Greek words gyne (woman) and mastos (breast).
Its exact cause is not fully known, but it is believed to have multiple potential causes. It is generally thought to result from an imbalance in sex hormones. Gynecomastia occurring in adolescent males usually disappears within a few years in the majority of cases.
Although it does not usually pose a health risk, in rare cases it may indicate another condition that could threaten health. It often causes social and psychological problems.
If the cause of gynecomastia can be identified, targeted treatment can be applied. However, in many cases, treatment is surgical.
There are three main types: glandular, mixed, and lipomatous. In the glandular type, the growth is due to actual breast tissue, while in the lipomatous type, it is caused by an increase in fat tissue. In the mixed type, there is both an increase in breast tissue and fat tissue.
As a surgical treatment method, liposuction and breast tissue removal techniques are the most appropriate. These methods vary depending on the findings from the breast examination. In patients with excessive fat tissue in the breast, good results are obtained with liposuction. In cases where there is both excess fat and breast tissue, the breast tissue is removed along with liposuction. If there is also excess skin in addition to fat and breast tissue, the skin is removed along with them. After the surgery, bandaging is applied for 3 weeks, and the patient is called for monthly follow-ups.
