Gynaecomastia

It often manifests itself in men and can be very upsetting, curtailing sports like swimming because of the Gynecomastia or ‘Man Boobs’. Caused by the enlargement of male breast tissue which appears as a rubbery or firm mass that starts from underneath the nipple and then spreads outwards over the breast area, it has been seen to debilitate even teenage boys and older men and is largely a result of the enlargement of glandular tissue. Men become shy and withdrawn and overly self-conscious.

Many male patients may also seek surgery to remove excess breast tissue post weight loss and bring their chests back to normality thereby getting back to enjoying the fullness of their lives.
