The Wonders Of Gynecomastia Diagnosis
Gynecomastia, the condition in which male breasts engorge and appear like natural breasts of an adult women, can be no less of a trauma for any man. But the reason for men to have breast-like formations on the chest is not just due to this condition. It can also be possible from a case called pseudogynecomastia which happens due to accumulation of fat in the chest area. While pseudogynecomastia is a condition where the fat can shed away from weight loss techniques, gyencomastia warrants medical attention and possibly, male breast reduction surgery.
It is a fallacy to assume that only men who are obese have gynecomastia. There are perfectly slim or thin men who have this issue too. One should note that things like hormonal imbalance, medicinal side effects and other metabolic disorders can also create such a situation.
In some cases, it has been found that obesity leads to this condition. In other cases, it could be due to a side effect of mediation as mentioned before. If obesity is the problem, then weight loss programs can solve it. If it is the medication that is causing gynecomastia, alternate medication can be of help. Since one of the reasons for gynecomastia is due to hormonal imbalance, hormonal treatments to balance high level of estrogen hormones can combat your man boobs in the initial stages before the tissue harden. Illegal drug usage or addiction to prescription drugs can also cause enlarged breasts in males.
The options used to diagnose this condition include male breast exam, blood tests, biopsies, evaluating the history of the patient, BMI calculation, weight, and height and body fat analysis, laboratory test to find out if there is a medical problem for causing gynecomastia. An endocrinologist, the doctor who specializes in diagnosis and treatment of gland related disorders of the endocrine system often investigates abnormal breast growth.
Hormonal medication that balances estrogen levels can definitely bring gynecomastia in control, in the initial stages. One should note that engorged breast swelling is triggered to high levels of estrogen in men, which is essentially a female development hormone. Also doctors advise you to steer clear of prescription drugs taken without consulting doctors, because they can trigger such abnormalities.
Lab test evaluations can give doctors a fair idea of weather you have gynecomastia. They may ask for further tests like male mammogram test where conditions that are involved with breasts of heavier mass are evaluated. A radiologist may also perform breast ultrasound testing to find out the presence of cysts and fluids in the area. A pathologist also goes into the detail of finding out if the tissues are hinting at the risk of breast cancer.
Having male breasts is not really a painful problem, unless it involves cancer which is a rare thing. In most cases, it is due to hormonal problems, obesity and other such reasons. Diagnosis helps you find out if a person has gynecomastia or pseudogynecomastia which is perfectly curable through weight loss techniques.
So if you are suffering from man boobs, do not run away from the problem or hide in isolation. Instead diagnose the problem and seek treatment measures that can help get rid of this problem quick. - 17268
