This is considered as the primary cause of gynecomastia and other causes also ultimately land to it. The fundamental reason behind this condition represents the decrease in levels of estrogen in males compared to testosterone levels in the body. This induces women-like growth in men resulting in protruding breasts.

When the amount of estrogen increases in the masculine body then, this hormonal balance induces the growth of breast gland tissues.

Testes disorders

As mentioned above all other causes of gynecomastia ultimately ends up in hormonal disorder. Similarly, testes disorders can also stimulate the imbalance of hormones. This condition also induces the chances of increased breast size in men.

Ageing

With age, the masculine body undergoes various changes. Tissue senescence and hormonal levels change are also absolutely normal. Every so often it can induce estrogen levels ultimately resulting in gynecomastia. Though sometimes only the testosterone level goes down and the estrogen level remains unaffected, ultimately this results in breast enlargement.

Testicular cancer or prostate cancer

This also induces a drastic change in hormone production in the masculine body. Few tissues increase in size and number while few of them degenerate which affects the production of their hormones as well. This hormonal imbalance results in gynecomastia.

Obesity

Increased body weight in males can also cause loosening and swelling of breast tissues which also induce the chances of breast enlargement due to gynecomastia. The increased fat cells can get accumulated in the breast area.

Abuse of drugs like heroin and marijuana also induces the chances of gynecomastia. In the same way, alcohol consumption is also one of the causes of the condition of gynecomastia. Smoking increases the chances of hormonal imbalance along with prostate cancer and lung cancer.

Skincare products
