Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia Treatment in Seoul

Gynecomastia, commonly known as male breast enlargement, is a condition that affects men of all ages. It occurs due to hormonal imbalances, weight gain, or certain medications, leading to excess breast tissue development. While gynecomastia is not harmful, it can cause emotional distress, low self-confidence, and physical discomfort.

At Proud Urology Clinic in Gangnam, we offer advanced, effective treatments to help men regain a masculine chest appearance through non-surgical and surgical options.


What is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is the enlargement of male breast tissue caused by an imbalance between estrogen and testosterone levels. It can affect one or both breasts, sometimes leading to tenderness or discomfort. The condition is common during puberty, adulthood, and aging, and it can significantly impact self-esteem.




Symptoms of Gynecomastia

Men with gynecomastia may experience:
✅ Excess breast tissue or swelling in one or both breasts
✅ Soft, firm, or fatty chest mass
✅ Breast tenderness or sensitivity
✅ Asymmetrical chest appearance
✅ Emotional distress or self-consciousness



If gynecomastia persists for more than six months or causes discomfort, seeking medical advice is recommended.



Causes of Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia occurs when testosterone levels decrease and estrogen levels increase, leading to breast tissue growth. Common causes include:


Hormonal Imbalance

  • Puberty-related hormone fluctuations (common in teenage boys)
  • Aging-related testosterone decline (common in older men)
  • Medical conditions affecting hormone levels, such as hypogonadism, hyperthyroidism, or liver disease

Medications & Supplements

  • Steroids or anabolic hormones
  • Certain antidepressants or anti-anxiety medications
  • Heart disease and blood pressure medications
  • Hair loss and prostate medications (Finasteride, Dutasteride)

Lifestyle Factors

  • Obesity – Excess fat can lead to increased estrogen production.
  • Excessive alcohol consumption – Can disrupt hormone balance.
  • Marijuana and drug use – Linked to hormonal imbalances contributing to gynecomastia.
