Conquering Gynecomastia with Surgery Under General Anesthesia

Gynecomastia is often referred to as “man boobs” due to excess breast gland tissue in males. It happens due to a hormonal imbalance, mainly testosterone and estrogen. While it can impact one or both breasts, its appearance and effects can vary. Hormonal shifts during infancy, puberty, and aging are common triggers of this condition. Other contributing factors include medication side effects, substance abuse, and underlying medical conditions.

Gynecomastia can cause significant emotional distress and affect a person’s self-confidence. Beyond the physical discomfort, individuals with gynecomastia may struggle with body image issues. They may feel self-conscious about their appearance, especially in social situations.

Though not life-threatening, gynecomastia poses challenges in management. While spontaneous resolution is possible, persistent cases may need medical intervention. There are various interventions available for managing gynecomastia. These include hormone therapy to surgical procedures.

Patient Feedback

Rudransh shared his satisfaction with the treatment:

Before meeting Dr. Harikiran Chekuri, I felt self-conscious about my protruding chest. It made me uncomfortable in social situations. I had no choice but to wear large-size, sagging shirts to hide my chest bulge. I like jogging and going to the gym, but physical activities would cause discomfort in my chest.

I’m thrilled with the results of gynecomastia surgery under Dr. Chekuri’s care. My chest now looks natural, and I am confident in my appearance. Thank you, Dr. Chekuri and team for your expertise and support throughout the process.
