Why Man Boobs Is Common In Preteens Younger Then 18

By Dustin Fennell

Why gynecomastia is common in boys younger than 17: Gynecomastia is a condition that produces "man boobs" in men. The chest area stores abnormally large amounts of fat tissue, making the man appear to have breasts like a woman. This condition is common in teenage boys. In many cases, it goes away within a couple of years.

It is unknown the exact cause of gynecomastia. Each individual case is unique. But it is safe to say that in young boys, it is almost always hormonal. The nipples become puffy and large, the breast grows abnormally large, etc. Studies show that 30-60% of young boys suffer from this condition. Most recover from it.

In boys that are overweight, having large breasts with excessive fat in the chest area seems natural. But when the boy loses the weight everywhere else except on his chest, it can be a problem. He might start feeling self conscious and embarrassed. Give him 100% of your emotional support. He is feeling vulnerable. It is important for them to fit in. There will be girls that he will want to impress. At that age, girls is one of the priorities. And having man boobs can hinder his confidence in talking with a girl he likes.

Preteen and adolescence can be a tough time for a young boy. It is the time when most boys feel self conscious. Life can be confusing. It is already hard enough to try to fit in and finding out who you are. But dealing with such a problem can be brutal and add to the pain. Kids can be cruel. Boys with abnormally large breasts can be the target for teasing and ridiculing. This can be emotionally traumatizing for a young boy.

Gym class is the worst. When changing clothes in public with other boys, having large breasts can be humiliating. Boys with the condition have admitted to being offered bras, having their breasts squeezed in ridiculed, and constantly mocked. Some even considered suicide because the emotional pain was so unbearable. They can not even wear regular clothes. Going out in public takes a long time because they need to find the right attire to hide their man boobs.

Losing weight can help shrink the fat around the breast. But sometimes, it does not help. Wait a few years before considering surgery. If the decision to have surgery is made, be sure to have the doctor know of any other medical conditions that are present. When the man boobs disappear, self confidence will be gained.

Sometimes, the hormonal changes are all part of the cycle of puberty. All boys go through it. When he reaches maturity, his hormones will get balanced and the problem of having breasts will clear on its own. But if it does not, then it may be time for considering surgery. But be patient and wait it out first. No guy wants to have man breasts. But sometimes the surgery may be totally unnecessary when the problem is going to go away on its own anyhow.

Certain medical conditions and/or medications that are taken can be causing the condition. It is important that the doctor know all the medical history and medications taken to help find the best solution. - 17274
