Why does gynecomastia develop during puberty?
Gynecomastia can begin as early as age 10 in boys, but it most commonly develops between ages 12 and 14. Teen years are crucial for psychological, emotional, and physical development. Male breast tissue can lead to embarrassment and low self-esteem. Understanding the causes and treatments for gynecomastia in teens can help boys get the care they need. During puberty, male breast development typically coincides with increased muscle mass, which, when combined with gynecomastia, can make the breasts appear larger.
Does gynecomastia go away after puberty?
Patients report varying rates of gynecomastia growth during puberty, with some experiencing rapid development and others slow progression. Gynecomastia present for years typically does not resolve. Additionally, some kids have very large breasts, and gynecomastia is unlikely to go away naturally if there is an excess of breast tissue. Gynecomastia is unique to each person. Gynecomastia’s persistence or resolution is influenced by factors such as heredity, overall health, and hormonal imbalances during puberty.
