Understanding Pseudo-Gynecomastia vs. True Gynecomastia - https://thesculpt.co.in/
Key Differences Between True Gynecomastia and Pseudo-Gynecomastia
| Feature | True Gynecomastia | Pseudo-Gynecomastia |
|---|---|---|
| Cause | Hormonal imbalance (increased estrogen or decreased testosterone) | Excess fat accumulation, typically due to obesity |
| Type of Tissue | Glandular tissue enlargement | Fatty tissue accumulation |
| Tenderness | May cause tenderness or sensitivity in the breast area | Usually no tenderness or pain |
| Firmness | Firm, rubbery mass beneath the nipple | Soft, fatty tissue, no firm masses |
| Diagnosis | Physical exam and imaging tests | Based on appearance and fat distribution |
| Treatment | Hormonal treatment, surgery (in severe cases) | Weight loss, diet, exercise, liposuction |
Treatment Options for True Gynecomastia vs. Pseudo-Gynecomastia
True Gynecomastia:
- Hormonal Therapy: In cases where a hormonal imbalance is identified, medications such as anti-estrogens (e.g., tamoxifen) or aromatase inhibitors may help reduce breast tissue enlargement.
- Surgery: In persistent or severe cases of true gynecomastia, surgery (either liposuction or a mastectomy) may be required to remove excess glandular tissue.
- Watchful Waiting: In some cases, especially during puberty, true gynecomastia may resolve on its own over time without the need for treatment.
Pseudo-Gynecomastia:
- Weight Loss: The most effective treatment for pseudo-gynecomastia is weight loss. A combination of a balanced diet and regular exercise can help reduce overall body fat, including the fat in the chest area.
- Liposuction: In some cases, liposuction may be used to remove excess fat from the chest area, especially if weight loss alone does not lead to improvement.
- Lifestyle Changes: Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with proper diet and exercise is key to preventing the development or progression of pseudo-gynecomastia.
