As a method for male breast enlargement, the plump chest muscles of young men in swimming pools and sports fields can enhance their physical fitness. However, some young men suddenly find their breasts on one and both sides of their chest swollen like women, while others feel an index in the breast lump. What the hell is going on here?
Not only does it affect fitness, but it also brings troubles. When it occurs in young men or the age group over 50 years old, it is medically referred to as male breast hypertrophy or male breast feminization. Men can also secrete a small amount of estrogen in their bodies, but androgens usually inhibit breast development. However, due to certain reasons, there is an absolute or excessive amount of estrogen in the body, which is insufficient to buffer the internal estrogen or androgens in the body and cannot meet the vigorous needs of physical development. Breast tissue is sensitive to estradiol. For example, when adolescent adolescents (13-15 years old) experience breast enlargement, it is called idiopathic male breast hyperplasia. This may be related to the stimulation of the breast by growth hormone, estrogen, and adrenocortical hormone.
Generally speaking, there is no discomfort, but it can also be accompanied by swelling, pain, and tenderness. In addition to the physiological increase mentioned above, proliferation also has pathological characteristics, often accompanied by liver diseases such as cirrhosis, which may be due to decreased liver function and decreased estrogen processing function of liver cells, leading to liver metabolic disorders. Other primary diseases, such as adrenal and pituitary diseases, can lead to increased estrogen secretion and high levels of estrogen in the body. After middle age, breast enlargement is related to incomplete testicular function. In most cases, both breasts are evenly and diffusely swollen, just like the appearance of female breasts, with varying sizes. Sometimes there are nodules, the sound is very fine, and in addition, there is dilation.
Drugs with estrogen sample effects, such as isoniazid, spironolactone, amphetamine, chlorpromazine, phenol, methyldopa, etc., can also experience the above phenomenon when taken for a long time. Some obese patients often have a large amount of fat deposition in their breasts, especially in the elderly, which is not male breast hyperplasia.
