If any of these sound familiar, you could be experiencing gynaecomastia.
Recognising these symptoms is the first step toward finding the right solution.
Struggling with Gynaecomastia? It’s More Common Than You Think
Gynaecomastia is a condition where men develop enlarged breast tissue due to hormonal imbalances, certain medications, or other factors.
Around 40% to 60% of men experience gynaecomastia at some point in their lives, often during puberty, adulthood, or as they age.
If you’re seeking a solution, Dr Marco Faria Correa offers surgical options for men to reduce enlarged breast tissue and improve physical comfort.
Have You Noticed Any of These Symptoms?
Are you noticing swelling or enlargement in your chest?
This is one of the most common signs of gynaecomastia. It can affect one or both sides of the chest and may develop gradually over time.
Is your chest feeling tender or uncomfortable?
Tenderness or soreness, particularly around the nipple area, is another symptom that men with gynaecomastia often experience.
Is one side of your chest larger than the other?
Gynaecomastia doesn’t always affect both sides equally. Sometimes, one side of the chest may appear more swollen than the other, causing an uneven look.
Do you feel firmness or excess tissue under your nipples?
A firm, rubbery area beneath the nipples is a key sign of gynaecomastia, often linked to the build-up of breast tissue.

What Causes Gynaecomastia?
Gynaecomastia can develop due to several common causes:
- Hormonal Imbalances: A decrease in testosterone or an increase in oestrogen can lead to gynaecomastia, often occurring naturally during puberty or as men age.
- Medications: Some medications used to treat conditions like heart disease, ulcers, or depression may affect hormone levels and cause breast tissue growth.
- Health Conditions: Medical issues such as liver or kidney disease or thyroid disorders can also disrupt hormones, contributing to the development of gynaecomastia.
Why Consider Gynaecomastia Surgery?
Gynaecomastia surgery offers several potential benefits. Here are key reasons to consider this option:
- Relieve Physical Discomfort: Enlarged breast tissue can cause discomfort, sensitivity, or pain. Surgery helps alleviate these symptoms.
- Prevent Complications: If left untreated, gynaecomastia may lead to issues like skin irritation or infections. Surgery can help prevent these complications and improve skin health.
- Support Mental Well-being: Gynaecomastia can affect mental health, leading to anxiety or low self-esteem. Surgery may enhance emotional well-being by addressing these concerns.
