At ISWARYA HOSPITAL, we offer advanced treatment for gynecomastia, a condition characterized by the enlargement of breast tissue in males. This condition can cause physical discomfort and emotional distress, impacting self-esteem and quality of life. Our experienced team provides comprehensive care to address gynecomastia and restore confidence.

Understanding Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia refers to the abnormal growth of breast tissue in males, which can affect one or both breasts. This condition can occur due to hormonal imbalances, certain medications, or underlying health issues. Gynecomastia can lead to a noticeable increase in breast size, and in some cases, tenderness or sensitivity.

Symptoms of Gynecomastia

• Enlarged Breasts: Noticeable increase in breast size, often with a soft or firm feel.
• Tenderness: Sensitivity or pain in the breast tissue.
• Swelling: Swelling or lump formation beneath the nipple area.
• Uneven Appearance: Asymmetry in breast size or shape, where one breast may be larger than the other.

Causes and Risk Factors

Gynecomastia can result from various factors, including:

• Hormonal Imbalances: Changes in estrogen and testosterone levels can lead to breast tissue growth.
• Medications: Certain drugs, such as anabolic steroids or medications for prostate conditions, may contribute to gynecomastia.
• Health Conditions: Liver disease, kidney failure, and other medical conditions can affect hormone levels and cause gynecomastia.
• Puberty: Hormonal fluctuations during puberty can lead to temporary gynecomastia, often resolving on its own.
• Genetics: A family history of gynecomastia can increase the likelihood of developing the condition.

Treatment Options for Gynecomastia

At ISWARYA HOSPITAL, our treatment approach for gynecomastia is tailored to each patient’s specific needs, focusing on achieving the best possible outcomes:

1. Non-Surgical Treatments:
   • Medications: In some cases, hormonal therapy or medications may be prescribed to address underlying hormonal imbalances contributing to gynecomastia.
   • Lifestyle Changes: Adjustments in diet, exercise, and discontinuation of certain medications can sometimes help manage or reduce gynecomastia.
2. Surgical Treatments:
   • Liposuction: A minimally invasive procedure where excess fat is suctioned out through small incisions, improving the contour of the chest.
   • Mastectomy: Surgical removal of excess breast tissue to achieve a flatter chest appearance. This can be performed through small incisions to minimize scarring.
   • Combined Approach: In some cases, a combination of liposuction and mastectomy may be used to achieve optimal results.
