many cases A DEFINITE cause is elusive. Idiopathic causes are the most common (25%). Most authorities attribute the condition to stimulation of breast tissue by excess circulating estrogens or estrogen-like substances;or a defect in androgen receptors Decreases in the androgen-to-estrogen ratio have also been associated with development of gynecomastia.
Neonatal: In newborn baby because of maternal circulating hormone. It is self limiting condition. Go by itself in few months
Pubertal: More than 2/3 of the adolecent boys have small to severe gynaecomastia relative excess of plasma estradiol compared with testosterone is believed as the cause of pubertal gynecomastia
Aging: Increasing the plasma estrogen-to-androgen ratio at old age leads to breast enlargement .plasma testosterone levels decline and peripheral conversion of testosterone to estrogen (peripheral aromatization) occurs,
Hypogonadism (decreased androgen synthesis or increased androgen resistance):
Tumors (increased estrogen production):
Systemic:
Congenital Disorders:
Familial:
Malnutrition: When your body is deprived of adequate nutrition, testosterone levels drop, but estrogen levels remain constant, causing a hormonal imbalance.
These include antidepressants, cancer treatment, antibiotics, AIDS medications; substance abuse like alcohol or drugs and many more. While consulting with the physician, it is important to discuss the usage of the medicine so that the doctor can provide accurate treatment.
