Coping techniques for children (including boys) who have early development of breasts by Michael Monheit, Esquire, Monheit Law, PC

What causes gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is usually secondary as a result of hormonal imbalances between testosterone and estrogen often occurs during puberty.

But gynecomastia can also be the result of an underlying medical problem, or can be induced by drugs such as Risperdal®.

Treatments for gynecomastia

Treatment may be required if your child has very large breast development and it is shrinking. In addition, surgery may be required in cases where the breast growth is causing a stress anxiety in your child. When male breast growth does not stop within three years, it may not go away on its own. In those cases, you should consult a Plastic Surgeon.
