Gynaecomastia is a medical condition characterized by the enlargement of breast tissue in males. It is commonly referred to as "man boobs" or "moobs." While it may cause embarrassment or self-consciousness, gynaecomastia is typically benign and does not pose a serious health risk. However, it can affect self-esteem and quality of life for those affected.
The diagnosis of gynaecomastia is typically based on physical examination, medical history, and sometimes imaging studies (such as ultrasound or mammography) to rule out other potential causes, such as breast cancer. Treatment options depend on the underlying cause and severity of gynaecomastia. In many cases, observation and reassurance may be sufficient, especially if gynaecomastia is expected to resolve on its own (such as during puberty).
It's important for individuals experiencing gynaecomastia to consult with Dr. Naincy Purwar to determine the underlying cause and appropriate management plan tailored to their specific situation. In some cases, both an endocrinologist and a plastic surgeon may be involved in the care of individuals with gynaecomastia. For example, if hormonal imbalances are contributing to the gynaecomastia, an endocrinologist may work with the patient to address these underlying issues before or after surgical intervention by the plastic surgeon.
The treatment of gynaecomastia depends on the underlying cause, severity of the condition, and the presence of any associated symptoms or distress. Dr. Naincy Purwar can conduct a thorough evaluation, assess potential underlying causes, and recommend a treatment plan tailored to your needs and preferences.
