Category — gynecomastia

Just three short weeks ago, George, a 20 year old college student, had surgery to correct his gynecomastia.  Gynecomastia is the medical term for enlarged breast tissue in men.  It affects men of all ages and sizes and can be present in one or both sides of the chest.

George who has suffered with gynecomastia since puberty has always been very self-conscious about his chest.  He would never take his shirt off at pools or at the beach, in fact avoiding these types of get-togethers at times.
