Is male breast enlargement related to sex hormones? The vast majority of male breast enlargement is associated with sex hormone endocrine disorders. High levels of estradiol, progesterone, and prolactin or low levels of androgens can lead to elevated or relatively elevated levels of female hormones in men, which can lead to the feminization of the male breast – i.e. abnormal development of the male breast. Factors that lead to disorders of sex hormone secretion are subdivided into pathological and physiological. Physiological factors: Disorders of sex hormone secretion may be caused by living and eating habits, and most of them can be corrected through self-conditioning. Pathological factors: Male friends must pay attention! This is the main reason why male breast enlargement patients need to have their sex hormone six checked. Many diseases themselves can cause disorders of sex hormone secretion, such as pituitary tumors, adrenal tumors, testicular tumors, hyperthyroidism, Crohn’s sign or taking some drugs with side effects. If the gynecomastia is caused by some primary diseases, without further examination to exclude the primary diseases, and simply dealing with gynecomastia by putting the root cause to the end, the treatment of the primary diseases will be missed or omitted! In summary, gynecomastia is a benign disease. If the breast itself does not have clinical symptoms such as pain or lumps, simple breast enlargement does not cause damage to the health of the body; the majority of patients with male breast enlargement only seek medical help because it affects their aesthetic confidence and generates great psychological pressure, hunching over the chest and causing social barriers! In addition, patients who do not have psychological disorders can be temporarily observed without surgery. However, it is important to identify the cause of gynecomastia and rule out the possibility of it being due to other diseases so as not to delay the treatment of the primary disease.
