They could, in reality, be experiencing what is known as pseudogynecomastia. Men, in general, tend to accumulate fat in the chest and abdomen regions. When this fat accumulates in excess around the chest area, it renders a puffy and swollen appearance, which is called pseudogynecomastia. Ivan Puah, our Medical Director who has treated many gynecomastia patients, observed that "most men who came in with complaints of pseudogynecomastia were shown to have true gynecomastia after medical assessment.
That fat in the chest also has enlarged breasts glands. Pseudogynecomastia is breasts enlargement caused by the accumulation of fat in the chest. In theory, the male breasts fat tissues can be improved with exercise and weight loss. However, in many patients, male breasts fat can be rather resistant to weight fluctuation, so losing weight may not lead to significant improvement.
The main gynecomastia symptoms include the enlargement of the glandular tissue in the breasts and tenderness experienced around the breast and the nipple. Possible gynecomastia symptoms include nipple discharge in one or both breasts. In true gynecomastia, glandular tissue may develop in one or both breasts. This tissue may be located directly behind the nipple.
To check for gynecomastia symptoms, gently feel your breast with your fingertips. If there is no excess fat accumulation, these fats can be completely rendered with diet and exercise. These tissues can cause pain in the chest area in some cases. Abnormally growing glandular and breast tissue show irregular and hard features. Gynecomastia is not a condition that can be resolved with exercise and diet. Surgical intervention is often required for its solution.
How to Distinguish Gynecomastia and Chest Fat? The points to be considered in order to distinguish gynecomastia and chest fat are as follows: You can examine your breasts and notice if there is more growth than normal.
Chest fat related growths usually show a soft and sagging feature. In the case of gynecomastia, the breasts are relatively tighter and more similar to the female breast. If there is no pain in your chest area and there is a softness that completely covers the bottom of the chest, this indicates chest fat. If there is a lump-sized swelling that does not affect the entire chest area, it would be more accurate to talk about gynecomastia. Topics: Breast reduction , Liposuction , Gynecomastia.
