When this fat accumulates in excess around the chest area, it produces a swollen and swollen appearance, called pseudogynecomastia. Gynecomastia can also be caused by other lifestyle factors, such as obesity, alcohol consumption, and the consumption of estrogen in medications or foods that contain soy. In addition to natural hormonal changes, the use of certain medications can cause gynecomastia and, for example, anabolic steroids, androgens, antiandrogens, anti-anxiety medications, antibiotics, chemotherapy, heart medications, and medications used to treat AIDS. Gynecomastia is often confused with the expected presence of adipose tissue, especially among overweight young men.
Gynecomastia can sometimes be a side effect of an HIV treatment called high-activity antiretroviral therapy. A known side effect of obesity is the production of excess estrogen, so a man can have glandular gynecomastia and fat at the same time, but until significant weight loss is achieved, glandular gynecomastia is not detected. An individual may conclude that, given the possible telltale signs, they are suffering from gynecomastia. Glandular gynecomastia is true breast tissue that is fibrous and firm and doesn't respond to diet or exercise.
Some male babies may have gynecomastia briefly while their mother's hormones are still in their bodies. This is probably because the hormonal changes that cause gynecomastia are also the changes that increase the risk of male breast cancer.
