Gynecomastia is one of the most common conditions to affect male breasts in the UK and is most commonly characterised by swollen breast tissue affecting one or both breasts. Hormonal imbalance is the most common cause of glandular enlargement affecting the male breasts. The condition occurs commonly in younger boys and men in the prepubescent phase and puberty itself. When the condition occurs earlier in life, it is considered to be completely harmless, and this type of gynecomastia will go away on its own with time as hormonal levels stabilise.
