Boys or young men suffering from gynecomastia, or breast enlargement, have probably endured their share of teasing. The official definition of gynecomastia is a benign enlargement of male glandular tissue. It can occur in boys of normal weight, but it is more common in overweight or obese boys.
If you have developed enlarged breasts, the condition has most likely lowered your self-confidence and self-esteem. Recent studies have shown that breast enlargement also impairs a young man’s quality of life and social functioning.
The solution could simply be to lose weight if you have gynecomastia and are overweight. However, weight loss won’t help you if you have true glandular enlargement. In that case, the best solution for you is breast reduction surgery.
