It is a common condition these days. Why?
1) Fat deposits
2) Not giving your body enough physical time for workout/exercise
3) It's unlikely to have any hidden issue behind it, till the time you notice any discharge, severe pain, or size difference. (But this factor isn't common)
What you can do?
1) Go to the gym, workout and reduce it with a good diet
2) Go to the surgeon, get it examined and if required get a surgery.

I understand your concern. Let me explain clearly:
🔹 What it is:
Gynecomastia is the enlargement of breast tissue in males. It can be due to hormonal imbalance (slight increase in estrogen or decrease in testosterone), certain medicines, or sometimes it may just be excess fat in the chest area (called pseudogynecomastia).
🔹 Is it dangerous?
In most cases, gynecomastia is not harmful and does not cause serious health problems related to the heart or other organs. But if it is rapidly increasing, associated with pain, nipple discharge, or a lump, then further evaluation is needed.
🔹 Treatment options:
1. Lifestyle & exercise – If it is mainly fat (pseudogynecomastia), regular exercise, weight loss, and chest workouts can help reduce it.
2. Observation – In many young men, mild gynecomastia can reduce on its own with time.
3. Medical review – If it persists, is painful, or cosmetically troubling, consult a surgeon or endocrinologist. They may check hormones and suggest treatment.
4. Surgery – If glandular tissue is enlarged and does not reduce with lifestyle changes, surgical correction (gynecomastia surgery) is a safe and effective option.
🔹 What you should do now:
Start with a healthy diet and regular gym/exercise.
Avoid alcohol, anabolic steroids, or any drugs that may worsen gynecomastia.
If it persists beyond 6–12 months or is bothering you, consult a general surgeon or plastic surgeon for further evaluation.
👉 Don’t worry – it is a common condition and not life-threatening. With proper guidance, it can be managed successfully.
