Gynecomastia: What it is?
Gynecomastia refers to an abnormal development
of female-like and over-developed breasts in males. Breasts are glands
accumulated with fat in both male and female bodies. In Gynecomastia, fat
provides a cushion to men and does not serve to store energy. It consists of
active tissues and does not disappear even if heavy exercise is done.
Gynecomastia can be caused due to
various reasons like heredity, hormonal changes, disease or consumption of
certain drugs.
Types of Gynecomastia:
·
Neonatal
Gynecomastia: This occurs in a natal stage when a new born develops breasts
under the effect of maternal sex hormone.
·
Adolescent
Gynecomastia: This occurs in adolescent boys at the time of puberty.
·
Senile
Gynecomastia: This occurs at an older age when the circulating male sex hormone
is reduced and female sex hormone becomes predominant.
Treatment for Gynecomastia:
We, at Panacea, believe that drug
treatments for Gynecomastia mostly fail as glands once grown cannot be reversed
back. Also, drug treatments usually consist of anti-hormones which can have
other harsh side effects too.
A surgical treatment of Gynecomastia is
the most viable option. There are various kinds of surgeries one can opt for to
treat Gynecomastia. Panacea Hospital provides various kinds of surgeries for
Gynecomastia which includes:
Peri-areolar
Incision: During this, incision is made either
at aerola skin junction or just inside that. Dissection of the gland is done
through the same incision and the gland is moved out.
Infra-mammary
approach: In this, incision below the breast
is made and the gland and extra skin is taken out. It is used in extreme cases,
when breast is very large.
Minimally
invasive surgery: In this, tiny
incisions of about 3-4 mm are made and the gland and fat are removed through
them. It can also help reshape the chest area in men with Liposuction.
