A clear medical summary of the key information covered in this video
Gynaecomastia is enlargement of male breast gland tissue and may relate to puberty, ageing, weight, medicines, hormones or health conditions. Recent, painful, one-sided or progressive enlargement should be examined and may require targeted tests.
Treatment ranges from reassurance and addressing a cause to medication in selected early cases or surgery for persistent tissue. A hard irregular lump, nipple discharge, skin change or enlarged nodes needs prompt clinical assessment.
