Gynecomastia and Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)
Health
Understanding Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia is a condition characterized by the enlargement of breast tissue in males. It can occur due to hormonal imbalances, particularly an increase in estrogen levels or a decrease in testosterone levels. The condition can affect men of all ages, from adolescence to adulthood, and may cause physical discomfort as well as emotional distress.
Causes of Gynecomastia
There are various factors that can contribute to the development of gynecomastia:
- Imbalance between estrogen and testosterone levels
- Genetic predisposition
- Obesity and excess body fat
- Certain medications, such as anabolic steroids or anti-anxiety drugs
- Underlying medical conditions, such as liver or kidney disease
Treatment Options for Gynecomastia
At CHI St. Luke’s Health - Performance Medicine, we offer comprehensive treatment options to address gynecomastia:
1. Medication
In some cases, medication can be prescribed to manage gynecomastia. This may include selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) or aromatase inhibitors to regulate hormone levels and reduce breast tissue growth.
2. Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is an effective treatment option for gynecomastia caused by low testosterone levels. This therapy involves the administration of testosterone to restore hormone balance, reducing the size of breast tissue and improving symptoms.
3. Surgical Intervention
If non-surgical treatments are ineffective or deemed unsuitable, surgical intervention may be recommended. This typically involves the removal of excess breast tissue through liposuction or excision techniques, resulting in a flatter and more contoured chest.
