Gynaecomastia means abnormal enlargement of male breast. It originates from Greek words means breast.
This condition most commonly arises at puberty because of disturbance in sexual hormonal balance (increase in level of Estrogen). Gynaecomastia mostly resolve within two years without treatment and does not require any treatment. But in cases, where the Gyneacomastia does not resolve, it leads to psychological disturbances in men and then require treatment.
