Gynecomastia is an overgrowth of breast tissue in males of any age. 这种情况影响的是年龄和身高在正常体重范围内的健康男性.
Gynecomastia vs. Fat
男性乳房发育症不同于由于体重过度增加而形成的脂肪. 男性乳房发育症是指由于胸部肌肉下方腺体组织的荷尔蒙变化而导致的乳房生长. If male breast growth is due to weight gain, diet and exercise changes are a better option than surgery.

Gynecomastia Stages
整形外科医生使用一个系统来对男性乳房发育阶段进行分级，以确定哪种手术最能治疗你的症状. The system uses Grades 1 through 4. 1级意味着你的皮肤下面有一堆组织，还没有伸展你的皮肤. 4级意味着组织伸出你的皮肤并下垂，类似于女性的乳房.
如果你患有男性乳房发育症，你不一定能通过这四个阶段. 乳腺组织的生长通常会持续到一定的大小，并且因人而异. It then stops and remains stable until treatment.
How Long Does Gynecomastia Last?
男性乳房发育症在青春期的男孩中很常见. 对于大多数男孩来说，这种情况是暂时的，通常在18岁左右消失. Surgery is not usually recommended in these cases. 相反，患者可以放心，增大的乳房组织会自行消失.
