Gynecomastia can stem from an imbalance between the sex hormones testosterone and estrogen. Estrogen makes breast tissue grow, while testosterone stops estrogen from making breast tissue grow.
While both males and females have testosterone and estrogen, testosterone is typically higher in males and
estrogen higher in females. Newborn and young boys may develop gynecomastia as their hormones fluctuate during development. However, it usually resolves on its own.
Swollen breasts can occur again in males approaching older age. Older men produce less testosterone and have higher body fat than younger men, which can increase estrogen levels.
