Understanding Gynecomastia
Dr. Cruise is considered to be one of the best Gynecomastia surgeons in the world and our male patients from Laguna Beach can also benefit from his expertise in this field. Gynecomastia is a condition where men experience enlarged breast tissue. This affects your appearance as well as self-confidence where persistent symptoms make men shy away from social situations. Popularly known as ‘male boobs’, this condition affects men of all ages but may not always be painful. For most, it may resolve on its own with time, especially when it occurs due to puberty but in case of severe and persistent gynecomastia cases, men may lose their self-confidence entirely.
What causes Gynecomastia?
The condition is usually the result of hormonal imbalance in men, wherein the amount of estrogen, the female hormone, gets increased. Gynecomastia could affect one or both breasts and there might be visible asymmetry. When the cause of the condition is related to hormones, it usually affects boys going through puberty or older men. However, it is also caused due to other reasons including obesity and the consumption of illegal drugs like marijuana. When the condition does not resolve in a few months or when the symptoms are too severe, you may require medication or surgical intervention.
When Should you Consult Dr. Cruise?
When your condition has not resolved on its own, there might be symptoms like tenderness and swelling in the breast tissue. Some men also experience some amount of pain or discharge from the nipples. When you notice such symptoms, you should consult Dr. Cruise who helps patients by reducing the enlarged breast tissue and sculpting a toned and manly chest area.
