Probably; no, certainly, all men love a great set of boobs, as long as they are not the one carrying them. But, men-with-breasts ( man boobs ) is not a logic-defying concept. It’s a reality. Sure it could be a manifestation of all the junk and calorie-rich food you have binged on, but it could as well be a medical condition.
Gynecomastia, otherwise known as “man boobs”, is a common condition in men and boys. In this condition the chest swells and becomes abnormally large. Gynecomastia is more common in newborn males, boys during puberty, and older men. There are tons of reasons why gynecomastia can occur, most common being obesity, genetics and hormones. Certain medications like cimetidine and marijuana can also cause growth of breast tissue in men.
Although not a grave disease to contract, it is best to consult a physician if your mirror image reflects sagging or swollen breasts or man boobs. A proper diagnosis can reveal the reasons behind your man boobs. In most cases the condition disappears without any medical intervention, but man boobs could also be a symptom for a graver disorder like testicular tumor.
