A man growing a boob can be a terrifying thing Especially if that man growing the boob is yourself. If thats the case, dont freak out Youre not alone. A man boob is a fairly common thing; about one third of the population will experience it at some point in time, especially during puberty.

A man growing boobs can be caused by two things One, an excess buildup of fat in his chest, and two, a hormonal imbalance. Lets go over both of these individually.

The first cause for a man growing a boob is an excess buildup of fat. As this suggests, it really isnt a boob, so much as fatty tissue that happens to be built up in the chest area. The best cure for this is a good diet and exercise. Unfortunately, you cant target a specific area to lose fat in If a mans growing a boob, he cant simply workout his chest to get rid of it. He has to exercise his whole body, improve his diet, and burn the fat from his entire body.

The second cause for a man growing boobs is a hormonal imbalance. This imbalance is caused by having too much estrogen and not enough testosterone in your body. The medical term for this condition is called Gynecomastia. This condition can be caused by medications that are throwing off your bodys hormone systems, drugs such as alcohol or marijuana, hormonal growth during puberty, or it may be an indication of a more serious disease, such as liver cancer. If youre a man growing boobs, and youre above the age of 25, it may be a good idea to consult a doctor. If Gynecomastia is left untreated for two years, the breast tissue may harden and become permanent, leaving surgery as the only option.

If youre under the age of 25, most likely you dont have to do anything at all. A man growing a boob during puberty is very common, and most of the time it will simply go away. If the man boob is still present after two years, it may be a good idea to seek medical attention.
