Man boobs what are they? They are an often joked about feature, but they actually affect a large proportion of the adult male population and can be an embarrassing condition. Being able to get rid of the problem first involves understanding what they are and how they are formed.

There are two types of man boobs, the medical term of which is gynaecomastia and this is Latin for “woman like breasts”. The condition is generally caused by an enlargement in the male breast gland and this leads to increased fat storage in the chest which appear like female breasts on a male.

There could be several different reasons that a man might have a hormonal imbalance. All people, regardless of whether they are male or female have a mixture of male and female hormones. That means that you will find some oestrogen in a male and some testosterone in a female. Sometimes the man boobs can be caused when there is not enough testosterone being produced, or when there is too much oestrogen being made in the body.

This hormonal cause of man boobs commonly appears around puberty in boys and it has usually disappeared within three years of developing the condition. The hormonal cause of the condition can also develop in men in later life when the levels of testosterone in their system can alter or be unstable as well. There is usually no need to undergo any surgical procedures to correct this problem, but you may be able to talk to your doctor about other possible treatments.

Sometimes there are certain medications that might also cause a hormonal imbalance. If you are taking a regular medication and think that it could be causing the condition, then you should speak to your doctor about this and see what they recommend. It has also been observed that some illegal drugs such as marijuana might also interrupt the hormone levels and cause problems.

The second type of condition called pseudo gynaecomastia is mostly the result of being too overweight and developing fat in the chest area. This can most effectively be treated by eating a balanced diet and getting exercise regularly.

Man boobs can be embarrassing, but if you find out the cause of the condition, then you can work out a treatment that will get rid of them once and for all for you.
