Gynecomastia is overdevelopment of the male breast. The glandular tissue of the breast swells, usually in response to an excess of the female hormone estrogen or a lack of testosterone, a male hormone.
It occurs in babies, teen boys, and older men. While common during puberty, in some males it becomes permanent. Many choose to have this surgically corrected.
