12Jan Otaku Abnormal Lifestyle Causes Growing Man Boobs
25-year-old Xiang was unemployment a year ago, and since then he always stayed at home. He played computer games everyday and had abnormal routine life. This caused the change of body hormone. Until recently he was invited by friends for swimming, he only noticed his chest exceeded the normal men’s size. He went for health examination and found out that it was caused by breast fat accumulation. After a breast surgery, he returned to normal male appearance.
Dr. Zhuang Jia-Rong said that abnormal enlargement of the breasts in a male a.k.a. gynecomastia normally happens in the age of puberty between 13 and 19. The cause for gynecomastia can be categorized into four groups. The first is caused by genetic inheritance, and about 1/4 of the patients belong to this group. The breast will become smaller with aging. The second group is those with abnormal hormone due to one’s diet and lifestyle. This can be fixed by controlling hormone with drugs or through surgery. The third category is due to pathological gynecomastia caused by metabolic diseases, endocrine disease and abnormal gonadal. The last group is caused by medication that are used for heart diseases, cancer or asthma.

It’s also caused by medication (side effects), testicular disease, and environmental estrogen. Plus in 25% of the cases, the cause is not known. Don’t be too quick to blame the patient.

Good article, basically man boobs are excess fat and excess fat is best removed through combination of exercise and diet. Naturally you can also use surgery but that is expensive, painful and offers no guarantee your man boobs will not return.
