Gynecomastia is the enlargement of breast tissue in men caused by hormonal imbalances. Testosterone and estrogen regulate male and female characteristics, respectively. When estrogen levels rise, or testosterone levels drop, gynecomastia can occur.
It is essential to distinguish gynecomastia from pseudogynecomastia, which results from excess fat rather than glandular tissue. While gyno is hormone-related, pseudogynecomastia is often linked to obesity and lifestyle factors.
