Male breasts: Gynecomastia, or male breasts, can occur naturally in adolescence and usually resolves on its own. They can be due to some drugs or medications including marijuana and steroids; or due to some diseases. Before having surgery to address gynecomastia, all causes should be ruled out to make sure no serious illnesses are being missed.

Gynecomastia: Gynecomastia comes from the greek meaning "gyne" meaning woman and "mastos" meaning breasts. it refers to abnormal development of 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.
