By Jeremi Hani

The enlargement most often will only occur on one breast but there is a higher percentage that the condition will show up on both breasts.

Gynecosmastia may appear three times in a male's life cycle. The first one is after birth. As a newborn, a male has a high tendency of developing a female's breast. The development might be due to milk flow. After a couple weeks, this condition will disappear. In rare cases, the condition would last up to two years.

Men are more susceptible to breast enlargement once they reach the age of twelve and above. During their puberty, their body is undergoing change both physically and mentally. The change is the result of production of testosterone in the body. Due to the imbalance, symptoms of Gynecosmastia may occur. In most cases, the symptom vanishes but for the unfortunate one, it will stay for years.

In most cases, males develop man boobs due to excessive body fat. Gynecosmatia in obese men is so common that people learn to ignore it. If these men lose weight, it is most likely that the condition will diminish. This just means that their male boobs were the results of excessive fats in the breasts.
