What are the causes of male breast development

First, male mammary gland development is due to the increase of estrogen secretion or the decrease of androgen / estrogen ratio. Excessive estrogen is the main cause of gynecomastia in men. The treatment of exogenous estrogen for men, such as prostate cancer patients with estrogen, long-term use of estrogen and excessive secretion of estrogen by adrenal or testicular tumors in men with sex transfer, can lead to mammary hyperplasia.

Second, the development of male mammary gland should be a solid breast tissue under the areola, with free bottom and diameter > 2cm. Lipomastia is common in obese men. It looks like the development of mammary gland, but has no glandular tissue. Mammography or ultrasound can distinguish between fat and breast tissue.

Third: the frequency of canceration of male mammary gland development is slightly higher than that of normal men, with an incidence rate of about 0.4%. If the surface of breast tissue is not smooth, irregular growth and hard texture, it often indicates early canceration. Local ulcer or adjacent lymph node enlargement is the manifestation of advanced breast cancer. Mammography or biopsy should be performed for further diagnosis.
