Gynaecomastia

Gynaecomastia occurs when male breast tissue enlarges, and is not simply due to excess fat deposition. This condition affects up to 30% of men during their lifetime, making it a relatively common concern. The condition may present unilaterally (one side) or bilaterally (both sides), with affected tissue typically feeling firm or rubbery beneath the nipple area.

The hallmark of gynaecomastia is lump or enlargement beneath the nipple area. This can often be sensitive as well. Many of patients share similar experiences: avoiding certain activities, modifying their clothing choices, or experiencing decreased self-confidence. If these experiences resonate with you, it’s important to understand that you’re not alone. While gynecomastia rarely presents medical concerns, its psychological and social impact can be significant.

Dr George will perform a thorough investigation to ensure the condition is not caused due to an underlying medical condition. When appropriate treatment can be offered, usually as a Day Procedure.
