Enlarged breasts are a common problem among men, but most ignore it.
An article in Forbes magazine a couple of years ago said that as many as one in two male adolescents experience some abnormal breast-tissue growth, as do one third of adult men. The article noted that 4,000 men in the United States have breast reduction surgery every year. The scientific name for enlarged male breasts is gynecomastia . It results from an imbalance between estrogens and androgens in your body, which causes the mammary tissue to grow. Sometimes breasts in men build up because of excess fat, but that doesn't seem to fit your situation.
