Why do men's breasts stick out?

Answer 1

Muscle development could be one of the reasons. Such as with bodybuilders. But in most men the reason is either medical, poor lifestyle or a combination of both.

There are two different types of male breast development. One is called Pseudogynecomastia and the other is called Gynecomastia.

The first, Pseudogynecomastia, is due to fat accumulation in the chest area. This type of breast enlargement responds very well to dieting and exercising. The problem is that if you gained excessive weight and then lost it, you may find yourself with a droopy flap of skin (chest ptosis).

The other type of breasts development, Gynecomastia, is actual breasts tissue and gland formation. In other words, real breasts development similarly to that in women. Milk production may or may not be present, but in most cases there's none.

It may be caused by hormonal imbalance, excess body fat which increases the estrogen level in the body, medication with estrogens, medication that reduce testosterone production, Klinefelter's syndrome, liver disease, hyperthyroidism, kidney disease, testicular or pituitary tumors, and marijuana use.

True Gynecomastia can NOT be entirely treated with exercise and dieting alone. In fact, doing push ups or other exercises that develop the pectoral muscles underneath the breast tissue can make things worst. This is because the developed muscles will push the breasts tissue outward making them look bigger than they really are. But just like in women getting rid of excessive fat may help reduce the size of your breasts but not eliminate them entirely.

Drugs can be used to treat the condition but they are not always effective. The sooner after the onset of the condition you get treated, the better the results.

Surgery is an option for some people but not for all. Mainly due to cost. Plastic surgery is very expensive and not everyone can afford it.

There is a couple of other options. One, you could wear a compression garment which hides the condition. Or two, just learn to live with it.

If you have this condition or know a man who does, I would suggest that you don't try to make the diagnose yourself, but rather seek the help of a doctor. Because as mentioned before, Gynecomastia can be caused by some serious medical conditions. Only a doctor can rule any of these conditions out and tell you what your best options are.
