Need diagnosis: There are so many causes of male breast enlargement or gynecomastia, including medications ; drugs, breast cancer, benign lesions, tumors of adrenal or pituitary glands, and hyperthyroidism. Many of these can be ruled out with a few simple blood tests ; an ultrasound of the breasts. You want to know what is causing the enlargement to determine if you need treatment ; what is the best treatment.

No: Gynecomastia refers to abnormally large mammary glands in males. Although there may be many “causes”, most cases are idiopathic (no specific cause). The use of certain medications, drugs, organ dysfunction (kidney or liver), hormonal imbalances etc. May also be causative. It is often best treated with  partial excision of the prominent glandular tissue  as well as liposuction surgery of the chest.
