🔍 Common Causes of Gynecomastia:

• Hormonal imbalance (low testosterone / high estrogen)

• Puberty-related changes

• Obesity

• Liver or kidney disease

• Certain medications or steroids

• Thyroid dysfunction or adrenal disorders

🩺 Step-by-Step Treatment Procedure:

1. Initial Assessment

   • Complete medical history and physical examination

   • Evaluation of lifestyle, medication use, and family history

   • Psychological impact assessment, if needed

2. Hormonal & Diagnostic Investigations

   • Blood tests for testosterone, estrogen, LH, FSH, prolactin, thyroid, and liver function

   • Ultrasound or mammography (if lump feels suspicious)

   • In some cases, MRI or biopsy to rule out rare causes

3. Tailored Treatment Plan

   • Mild Cases / Pubertal Gynecomastia: Observation and reassurance

   • Hormonal Imbalance: Hormone correction therapy (e.g., testosterone replacement or anti-estrogens)

   • Obesity-Related: Diet and exercise plan + hormonal support

   • Medication-Induced: Stopping or replacing the responsible drug under medical guidance

   • Persistent or Severe Cases: Referral for surgical consultation (liposuction or gland removal)

4. Lifestyle and Nutritional Counseling

   • Weight loss guidance for fat-related enlargement

   • Avoidance of alcohol, anabolic steroids, and soy-based supplements (if contributing)
