Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is a condition where males have unusually enlarged breasts, due to increased production of breast tissues.

Causes

All men have androgen and estrogen both the hormones that are male and female hormones. When there is the change in androgens and estrogens balance then it results in Gynecomastia.

Other causes of Gynecomastia

Chemotherapy for cancer
Marijuana use
Deficiency of testosterone
Radiation treatment for testicles (testosterone deficiency)
Chronic renal failure
Chronic liver disease
Hyperthyroidism
Malnutrition
Hormone treatment for testicular cancers
Klinefelter's syndrome
Trauma
Infections
Hormones (androgens, anabolic steroids, estrogen agonists)
Anti-ulcer medications such as cimetidine
Cardiovascular drugs, such as captopril and digitoxin
Cancer chemotherapeutics for prostate cancer.
Psychoactive agents, for example, diazepam and tricyclic antidepressants
Antibiotics (isoniazid, ketoconazole, metronidazole)

Certain medications can cause Gynecomastia. They act together with the natural stage of testosterone and estrogen and upset the balance.
