In most cases, gynecomastia is caused by a hormonal imbalance, with males producing low testosterone levels and higher estrogen levels. Some men suffer from conditions that block testosterone effects, reduce their testosterone production, or cause them to produce higher levels of estrogen. Gynecomastia during puberty and after the age of 50 is most common, due to hormonal changes that may cause estrogen and testosterone levels to become unbalanced. Certain medications, recreational drugs, anabolic steroids, and alcohol consumption may also cause gynecomastia.2<\/sup><\/p>","name":"What is the Cause of Gynecomastia?
