Gynecomastia is a condition that leads to an increase in the amount of breast gland tissue in boys or men that is caused by an imbalance of the hormones estrogen and testosterone. Gynecomastia can affect either one or both the male breasts, sometimes unevenly. Sometimes, newborns and boys going through puberty or even older men may develop gynecomastia as a result of changes in hormone levels, though other causes also exist.
