Structurally, male breasts are not much different from female breasts. The only reason why male breasts are small
is that there is not enough estrogen, the female hormone, in the male body.
However, in some cases, male breasts begin to grow spontaneously and almost look like a female breast
takes shape. This is a disease and is called "gynecomastia" in medicine.
What is the Cause of Gynecomastia?
There may be many causes of gynecomastia. Some diseases, such as severe liver disorders such as cirrhosis, and some medications, such as the once widely used stomach medicine (cimethidine), cause gynecomastia. However
In most cases of gynecomastia, there is no reason. In other words, this disease can occur spontaneously, without any reason, to a large extent.
Gynecomastia is also seen in the majority of bodybuilding athletes. The reason for this is the high amount of male hormones they use as a stimulant. While the male hormone is destroyed after being used in the body, an intermediate substance similar to the female hormone emerges, and when it is in high amounts, it causes breasts to enlarge.
In Turkey. The most commonly used drugs are primabolan, sustanon and anapolan. Especially Anapolan seriously
causes gynecomastia, but since it is both very effective and can be taken as a pill, it can be preferred by athletes
.
Can There Be Non-Surgical Solutions?
Unfortunately, once gynecomastia occurs, the growing breast tissue must be removed. It is not something that is expected to regress with hormonal
treatments.
Two types of surgeries are performed. If the growing mammary gland is soft and oily, only liposuction or side fat removal surgery may be sufficient. However, in the presence of hard and large gynecomastia, the mass must be removed with an open technique
. Contrary to popular belief, it is not a surgical procedure that leaves a scar.
Complications and Possible Problems:
There is almost no possibility of serious bleeding in this type of surgery. Bleeding may occur in the form of a "hematoma", that is, blood accumulation on one side of the breast. Your doctor will take you back to the operating room and may want to clean the accumulation and stop the bleeding (if it continues).
Similarly, a unilateral swelling around the fifth day after the surgery may be a sign of infection.
Again, the solution will be to clean the infection and of course antibiotic treatment. .
Asymmetry is among the problems that may be encountered after this surgery. In rare cases, serious asymmetries may require a
touch-up surgery.
Tips:
- It is necessary to investigate whether there is an underlying cause by doing some tests before the surgery.
What to Expect Before and After Non-Surgery?
This is a surgery that can be considered minor in terms of size and difficulty. It is not a painful surgery. Generally, patients
can be discharged on the same day and return to work after 3-4 days.
The first night may be relatively difficult. Usually, a simple oral pain reliever is sufficient. This
surgery is an operation in which serious bruising and swelling is not expected.
If you are working, it will be enough to spare 4 days for this surgery.
