Gynecomastia is the condition of abnormally large breasts on men. While this condition is relatively common in adolescent boys, the symptoms vanish in 90% of those affected. The other 10% however, retain the condition. This condition can create considerable self-image and self-esteem problems.
There are a number of causes for the condition. Some of the most common causes are puberty, steroid use, obesity, genetic problems, aging, and use of certain medications.
The men who suffer from gynecomastia often have emotional problems associated with the condition. They can feel embarrassed, ashamed, and in some cases can even question their masculinity. Anxiety and even self-hatred can follow in severe cases.
Surgical procedures are available that can eliminate gynecomastia. The procedures are safe and many people are undergo these types of procedures each year.
When one has treatment for gynecomastia, it must go beyond simply treating the physical condition. The treatment must also contend with the psychological aspects involved. Dr. Blau understands this and treats all of his patients with the utmost respect.
