Do male breasts sometimes get bigger?

Under normal circumstances, male breasts will not develop. When the estrogen level in the body is relatively or absolutely increased due to various reasons, and the mammary epithelial cells are stimulated by estrogen too much, a very small number of men may have unilateral or bilateral mammary hypertrophy.

Etiology and pathogenesis of gynecomastia

Male mammary hyperplasia is called male mammary dysplasia. It usually occurs around adolescence and old age, and the pathological manifestations are glandular duct hyperplasia without acinar hyperplasia, which can be generally divided into primary and secondary types. The primary patients are usually adolescent boys and elderly men, which are mainly caused by the temporary increase of endogenous estrogen or the decrease of androgen, and often subside spontaneously. Secondary patients are common in liver diseases, testicular diseases, adrenal diseases, thyroid diseases, diabetes, urogenital or nervous system tumors, prostate diseases or others. Reserpine, remifentanil, digitalis, chlorpromazine, etc. It can also cause breast development, which can generally subside after drug withdrawal.

. In addition, hermaphroditism and congenital testicular dysplasia can also lead to breast hypertrophy.

Chinese medicine believes that a man's breast belongs to the kidney and his nipple belongs to the liver. If his mood is not harmonious, he will be furious and hurt his liver, leading to stagnation of liver qi. However, if he is depressed for a long time, he will turn into fire, burn the body fluids of his liver and kidney, damage his liver function, and have low detoxification function, so that excessive estrogen in the human body can not be inactivated in the liver, but will act on the target organ breast, or he will be old and weak, unable to recover after a long illness, deficient kidney and liver, and unable to maintain liver wood. Or congenital deficiency, essence and blood can't support chong and ren, which leads to disorder of chong and ren, or exogenous pathogenic factors damage the liver, which leads to malnutrition of meridians and collaterals, stagnation of qi and blood, blood stasis and phlegm coagulation, and obstruction of meridians and collaterals, resulting in male breast development.

How to treat gynecomastia?

If a man finds his breast hypertrophy, he should go to the hospital for diagnosis as soon as possible. If it is caused by physiology or drugs, he should not be too nervous, and he can subside on his own, or he can subside on his own after stopping taking drugs. If it is pathological, he should carefully find the cause and treat it in time. If a man has breast hypertrophy, early active and effective treatment can still return to normal. But if the time is long, breast tissue hyperplasia is irreversible and must be treated surgically.

At present, there is no feasible treatment for this disease in western medicine, mainly using hormone antagonism treatment and surgical removal, but surgical removal is easy to leave scars, which not only affects the appearance but also is easy to recur. At present, it is often not used, except that it is too large, swollen and painful, and even causes mental anxiety. At the same time, drug treatment is ineffective, and patients insist on resection, otherwise surgical treatment is generally not recommended. In addition, due to the complexity of the etiology, different causes have different treatment methods for male gynecomastia. Adolescent patients in the early stage of breast development often heal themselves and generally return to normal within 6 months.

Primary patients in adults and the elderly are not easy to heal themselves and should be treated actively. Secondary male breast development because it is often accompanied by other diseases; Therefore, treating the cause is an important measure. Over the years, our hospital has accumulated rich clinical experience in non-surgical treatment of this disease. In the treatment, according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine and its different clinical manifestations, we should adjust the liver and kidney to adjust the function between hypothalamus-pituitary-testis axis, restore liver function, strengthen the inactivation of excess estrogen, promote metabolism, improve blood circulation, protect liver and kidney, rationally regulate endocrine and make the body healthy. From the pharmacological research, traditional Chinese medicine does not have many side effects of western medicine and hormone drugs, and its curative effect is also very remarkable. At the same time, the onset of this disease has a certain relationship with mood. Therefore, it is very important to adjust mood, keep happy, avoid anger and worry, and pay attention to the combination of work and rest. You should quit smoking and drinking at ordinary times, and you should not eat too much greasy and spicy food in your diet. During the illness, you should feel comfortable, have confidence in the treatment of the disease, adhere to the necessary physical exercise and functional exercise, pay attention to the local cleaning of the breast, prevent nipple and skin damage, and prevent infection.
