Diagnostic / Examination

  • Liver function tests, kidney function tests, and thyroid function tests are performed.

  • If gynecomastia due to testicular tumor is suspected, testicular ultrasound is performed.

  • For elderly patients, breast biopsy may be ordered as they are more likely to develop male breast cancer.

Gynecomastia treatment program

  • Medication

    The underlying pathological mechanism is the increase in the ratio of estrogen to androgen, and drugs used in drug therapy include androgen, anti-estrogen, and aromata inhibitors.

  • Surgical treatment

    If there is no response to drug treatment and cosmetic aspects are considered, mastectomy, breast reduction surgery, or subcutaneous mastectomy may be performed. Pseudogynecomastia, which is caused by fat accumulation accompanying obesity, may benefit from liposuction.
