About Gynaecomastia in Bengaluru
Gynaecomastia is the enlargement of breast tissue in males, resulting from an imbalance between estrogen and testosterone that causes glandular breast tissue to grow. It can occur at any age but is particularly common during infancy, puberty, and older adulthood, periods marked by significant hormonal fluctuation, and often resolves on its own in adolescents. While generally not medically dangerous, it can cause significant psychological distress and self-consciousness, particularly in teenage boys, and in some cases signals an underlying hormonal or medical condition that warrants evaluation.
