Gynecomastia is the enlargement of breast tissue in men, most often caused by a hormonal imbalance between estrogen and testosterone. The condition can be temporary but sometimes requires treatment.

Main causes:

• Hormonal changes (during puberty or aging)

• Obesity

• Certain medications (steroids, antidepressants)

• Liver, thyroid diseases, or tumors

Symptoms:

• Enlargement of one or both breasts

• Tenderness or soreness around the nipples

• Emotional or psychological discomfort
