The Term Gynecomastia has been derived from two words of greek gyné (stem gynaik-) which means “female” and mastos meaning “breast”.
It can occur unilaterally or bilaterally.
Gynecomastia is the term given to the unnecessary growth of the breast tissue in men and occurs in the segments of the hormonal transformations of man (early stages, puberty and old age) unless it is unswervingly linked to a ailment. Besides the cause of the hormone, too much intake of alcohol and drugs can cause this trouble. The patients suffering from Gynecomastia generally have female like breast (Cup Shaped Breasts).
