Why Man Boobs Grow?

By Caleb Lee


Some diseases in man which never used to be so common in the earlier days are now affecting people very often. The cause and effect of most of these diseases were unknown at time but now with the progress of medical science we know about them. Some of these diseases may not appear to be dangerous but they are basically dangerous since they affect ones physiology and psychology.

These new diseases owe their existence to various reasons, pollution being one of the most important of them. Different types of diseases are caused due to the increasing pollution in our society. These new diseases are primarily caused due to the various changes occurring in our surroundings and our reaction towards them. The human body most of the times is not able to adapt to those changes and as a result ends up inflicted with a disease.

Human body is responding in a negative way to all these changes. Hence, many of the organs are given to malfunction. It is due to this improper functioning of certain organs that many new diseases have come to the foreground. Certain physiological distortions are being created in man due to excess pollution. Man boobs is one disease which has affected a large percentage of men in the modern society. The clinical term for the disease is Gynecomastia. The cause of this disease is indefinite.

Gynecomastia is marked with the development of certain effeminate features in men like the overdevelopment of the chest in a man resembling that of a woman. Man boobs is the colloquial term used for this disease. People normally know this disease by this name. However, there is no definite reason as to why this disease occurs but there can be several causes. This disease makes life difficult for men. They often end up becoming a laughing stock among their peers. These kinds of unnatural developments in a male often lead to depression and frustration on their part.

The experts are putting forwards several theories as the causes of the disease Gynecomastia. However, there can be several reasons to that. Hormonal dis-functioning can lead to man boobs. The hormone that stimulates the growth of female breast is oestrogen while for male it is testosterone. If the hormone secretion in man is altered, it gives rise to Gynecomastia.

One of the most common causes of man boobs is a situation where a human body starts secreting more oestrogen that testosterone. Many things can be the cause of this, including some faults in medication, some kind of chronic liver disease, increased amount of estrogen in serum, chronic kidney disease, sudden decrease in the production of testosterone and others. Some genetic diseases also cause man boobs. It also can result as the after effect of some diseases. These include some common diseases like Klinefelter, Kennedy disease and others.

Gynecomastia could also be due to past wounds. Some of the spinal cord injuries are severe in nature which could cause Gynecomastia. The unnatural development of adipose tissue inside the body could also be another cause behind this disease. This causes obesity in men and could be a good reason for Gynecomastia or man boobs.

Gynecomastia or man boobs is becoming an increasingly common disease. Fortunately, in most cases it has been satisfactorily treated with some specific exercises like chest fat burner exercises and gynecomastia supplements. Surgery is the last resort but an option all the same.
