Gynecomastia: Causes and Treatments in Richfield MN



Gynecomastia is the enlargement of a man's breasts and is a common issue that plagues men and boys in and around Richfield MN throughout different stages in their lives. There are many causes for this condition. Richard S. Werner M.D.'s office can help with gynecomastia; Richfield MN residents have come to his office for this issue and others throughout the years, and he has several satisfied and happy customers in and around the Richfield MN area.

Causes
Gynecomastia is usually caused by hormone imbalances and it most often affects newborn babies, boys who are going through puberty and older men as they age and their hormone levels change. There are other causes for this condition, but hormone imbalances are the most common.

Health Issues
There are no known health issues associated with gynecomastia, other than psychological ones, as it can be difficult to cope with and can hinder self-esteem in the men who suffer from it. Sometimes, men can experience some pain in their breasts, but most of the time, sufferers report feelings of embarrassment and other problems with their emotional health and well-being.

Solutions
Sometimes, gynecomastia will go away on its own, especially as boys mature and develop. Exercise and lifting weights will not get rid of this fatty tissue though. However, sometimes it needs to be treated by an experienced Richfield MN plastic surgeon, like Richard S. Werner M.D. There is a procedure men can have that will remove the fatty tissue surgically. Normally, this is a routine procedure and does not result in a lot of scarring.
