If you’ve ever felt uncomfortable taking off your shirt, even in front of a mirror, you’re not alone.
Gynecomastia, often called “man boobs,” is more common than most men realize. And no, it’s not always just about being overweight.
What Is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is a condition where male breast tissue enlarges, often due to a hormonal imbalance, not just fat. It can appear in teens, adults, or even older men. Sometimes it affects both sides, sometimes just one.
Here’s the truth:
⛔ No amount of push-ups will fix it if it’s gland tissue, not fat.
✅ But the good news is – it’s treatable.
Common Causes
- Hormonal imbalance (testosterone vs estrogen)
- Puberty or aging
- Steroid or medication use
- Liver or thyroid issues
- Genetics
Sometimes it goes away. But when it doesn’t, it’s not just a cosmetic issue. It hits your confidence, intimacy, and how you show up in life.
Symptoms Men Shouldn’t Ignore
- A rubbery lump behind the nipple
- Swollen, rounded chest shape
- Breast tenderness or sensitivity
- Emotional discomfort about your appearance
When Should You Seek Help?
If your chest shape makes you:
- Avoid fitted shirts or going shirtless
- Feel self-conscious at the gym or pool
- Struggle with body image or relationships
