WHAT IS TEENAGE GYNECOMASTIA?
Teenage gynecomastia is a condition that affects teenage boys, causing the breasts to become enlarged. This happens when the hormones in the body get out of balance, with more estrogen and less testosterone. It can happen in just one breast, or both, and can be upsetting both physically and mentally. To treat it, lifestyle changes, medications, and even surgery may be necessary.
CAUSES OF TEENAGE GYNECOMASTIA
Teenage gynecomastia develops during puberty and can be caused by:
- Hormone imbalance: during the teenage years, the hormones responsible for male characteristics such as testosterone can become imbalanced, resulting in a higher level of the female hormone estrogen.
- Medications: certain medications, such as those used to treat depression and anxiety, can cause gynecomastia
- Health issues: some health conditions, such as liver disease and thyroid disorders, can also cause gynecomastia in teenagers.
SYMPTOMS OF TEENAGE GYNECOMASTIA
The most obvious symptom of teenage gynecomastia is the development of breast tissue in boys. This can manifest as a small lump under the nipple or as more widespread breast tissue. Other symptoms may include tenderness or soreness in the breast area, as well as an increase in breast size over time. While gynecomastia is not a serious health concern, it can cause anxiety and embarrassment in teenagers, which can lead to social withdrawal and other issues.
TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR TEENAGE GYNECOMASTIA
If the teenage gynecomastia does not resolve on its own, you can discuss treatment options with your doctor. Some options may include medications, surgery, and lifestyle changes. Medications, such as tamoxifen, can help to reduce breast tissue in some cases. Surgery, such as liposuction or mastectomy, may be necessary for more severe cases. Finally, lifestyle changes, such as weight loss and exercise, can help to reduce the appearance of gynecomastia in some teenagers.
TEENAGE GYNECOMASTIA PREVENTION TIPS
While gynecomastia cannot always be prevented, there are some steps that teenage boys can take to reduce their risk. Maintaining a healthy weight and exercising regularly can help to regulate hormone levels and reduce the risk of gynecomastia. Additionally, avoiding medications that can cause gynecomastia, such as certain antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications, can help to reduce the risk. A medical evaluation with a gynecomastia doctor like Dr. Marc Adajar may help identify any underlying health conditions that may be causing gynecomastia and discuss treatment options.

"Absolutely incredible and honestly life changing results from Doctor Adajar. He really knows his stuff. Expectations were met and exceeded. Would highly recommend seeking him out if you are suffering from gynocomastia. a big thing I really appreciated was how up front and honest they were about the pricing. No hidden costs. I’d highly recommend finding a specialist for this kind of thing, as results can turn out very badly if the person doing the surgery is not an absolute expert, and there’s probably few places out there who can match what xsculpt does. The whole team was great. I don’t have a single complaint. Would give more stars if could." -Verified Google Review
