Breast growth due to hormonal causes is frequently encountered in adolescence. In this period, a serious change in hormones such as sensitivity and fullness also occurs. This temporary situation may become permanent for some men. It is called gynecomastia when it becomes permanent. Especially in males with excess weight, this problem is more likely to occur.
Drugs, tumors, genetic conditions, and adolescence, as we have mentioned, are among the causes of growth in the male breast. Another reason for breast growth is men living in urban environments preferring a sedentary lifestyle. However, malnutrition may also cause breast growth. Usually, for men going to gyms plenty of outdoor hiking is also recommended. Other reasons are described below.
Health Problems: Some health problems that result in hormonal diseases are the cause of gynecomastia. Malnutrition, persistent fasting, obesity, hepatic failure, renal failure, hyperthyroidism, hypophysis deficiency and decreased levels of testosterone in men can be listed as the reason.
Alcohol and Cigarette Smoking: As a result of harmful habits such as alcohol heroin and marijuana consumption and smoking the growth of the breast are very likely to be seen.
Side Effects of Drugs: Some drugs cause side effects in the body and result in breast growth. AIDS medications, prostate cancer drugs, anxiety, and depression medications can be listed in this category. Of course, gynecomastia is a problem if the drugs are used regularly. Also, ulcer drugs, drugs used for the treatment of hypertension, and diuretic drugs can also cause breast growth.
