What Causes Man Boobs?

Life can throw some embarrassing moments your way and if you are a guy suffering from gynecomastia (man boobs) you know exactly how true this statement can be. Man boobs can be slightly enlarged or full-blown breasts and several sizes in between. Whatever your current state, if you have man boobs you are probably only concerned with one thing, getting rid of them! In order to address the problem you must first know what causes them in the first place.

Hormonal Imbalance

There are several different reasons that males may begin to experience enlarged breast tissue, but the underlying cause is usually lowered testosterone and increasing estrogen. This type of hormonal imbalance is not as uncommon as you might imagine and is caused by a few different things. The three most common causes are:

•    Gaining weight
•    Exposure to hormone altering chemicals
•    Underlying hormone altering condition

Today the most common reason for hormonal imbalance and resulting man boobs is exposure to hormone altering chemicals. One in three men will experience enlarged breast tissue because of hormone altering chemical exposure.
