Gynaecomastia Specialists in Maharashtra

Will gynaecomastia go away on its own?

In adolescents, it very often resolves spontaneously within one to two years as hormone levels stabilise, so a period of monitoring is usually reasonable, but persistent or adult-onset cases are less likely to resolve without treatment.

Is gynaecomastia a sign of a serious medical condition?

Usually not, but because it can occasionally signal liver disease, thyroid problems, or a hormone-producing tumour, especially when it develops suddenly in adulthood, a medical evaluation is worthwhile to rule out an underlying cause.

Can medications cause gynaecomastia?

Yes, certain medications for prostate conditions, anti-anxiety drugs, and anabolic steroids are recognised causes, so reviewing your medication list with a doctor is a reasonable first step if gynaecomastia develops.

Is surgery the only treatment for gynaecomastia?

No, when an underlying cause like a medication or hormonal imbalance is identified and addressed, gynaecomastia can improve without surgery; surgery is generally reserved for persistent or more severe cases.

Does gynaecomastia affect only overweight men?

No, true gynaecomastia involves actual glandular breast tissue growth from hormonal imbalance, which is distinct from simple fat accumulation in overweight men, though the two can coexist and sometimes need to be distinguished by examination.
