Gynecomastia Prevention

Meaning

Gynecomastia Prevention refers to the clinical strategy of employing proactive pharmacological or surgical interventions to inhibit the development or progression of benign male breast glandular tissue enlargement. This condition arises from an imbalance in the estrogen-to-androgen ratio, leading to estrogenic overstimulation of the mammary ductal epithelium. Prevention is a common consideration in men undergoing therapeutic regimens that can elevate estrogen levels, such as testosterone replacement therapy or the use of certain anabolic agents. The focus is on maintaining a healthy endocrine balance.
