Does Gynecomastia Cause Bad Posture?

Gynecomastia, or growth of male breast tissue, can cause both physical and mental distress. It can also affect a man’s posture.

• Psychological: The emotional load of gynecomastia can cause feelings of self-consciousness and low self-esteem. This can emerge as slouching or bad posture in order to present a smaller silhouette or avoid unwanted attention.
