A doctor has provided 1 answer

Endocrinologist time: Gynecomastia is breast tissue enlargement in men, and is due to the effects of estrogen hormones. A little male breast enlargement can be normal, especially in teens and even college students. A lot of breast enlargement would be a problem needing examination. Medications that block the production or effects of estrogen can reverse some gynecomastia. An endocrinologist is the specialist to visit.
