Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia in men is one of the most common problems in adults, as the percentage of men affected by this disease is between 50% and 60%, according to statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

It is a distinct prominence in the size of a man's chest compared to the normal level.

Types of gynecomastia:

-Real gynecomastia.

-False gynecomastia.

Real gynecomastia

It is usually due to a defect in the functions of male hormones that help preserve the natural size of a man's breasts. This defect leads to the enlargement of the mammary gland, so that its prominence appears clearly under the skin, which results in the appearance of breasts similar to those of women.

False gynecomastia

Also called pseudo-gynecomastia, it results from the accumulation of excess fat around the mammary gland, when the gland itself is of normal size.
