Male breast enlargement, also known as gynecomastia, is becoming more common in young men in Delhi, according to plastic surgeons. Doctors report seeing 8-10 cases of male breast reduction per month, compared to only 3 cases for women. The rise is due to factors like steroid use by gym-goers, obesity, and sedentary lifestyles. Steroids disrupt hormone levels and cause a hormonal imbalance favoring estrogen production, leading to enlarged breasts. Obesity also increases the conversion of androgens to estrogens. Experts warn against steroid use for bodybuilding due to health risks like kidney damage.

Cosmetic surgeons in Delhi are baffled by the sudden increase in
demand for breast reduction by young men. Doctors say they get eight
to 10 such cases monthly while the number of women seeking breast
reduction is no more than three a month.Doctors say besides hormonal
problems, steroid use among gym-goers, obesity and other lifestyle
factors are rea sons behind this phenomenon.
“Incidence of breast enlargement has increased enormously in young
men. Til about a decade ago, we rarely had male patients coming for
reduction of the breast. These days, we get two to three such cases
every week,“ Dr (Major General) A S Bath, head of plastic and cosmetic
surgery department at BLK Super-Specialty Hospital, says.

Called gynaecomastia in medical terms, breast enlargement in men is caused by
imbalance in male and female hormones--androgens and oestrogen. It's more
frequent in boys aged between 19 and 25 years, though a few cases are al so
observed in middle-aged people. It's a common misconception that men do not
have female hormones. “They are pre sent, but in smaller amounts Hormonal
imbalance occurs naturally when a patient's body is more receptive to female
hormones, but such cases are rare. In most cases, it is caused by external factor s--
poor nutrition, steroid use and physical inactivity ,“ Dr Bath says.
Experts point out that most dairy and meat animals are injected with growth
hormones for quicker and better produce and their ingestion, too, causes hormonal
imbalance. Lack of physical inactivity only adds to the effect. Indeed, according to
Dr Sunil Choudhary , director of aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery at Max
Healthcare, lifestyle has played a big role in the new epidemic.

“Those aspiring to be super-fit or trying to ape superstar six packs take the short
cut by using nutritional supplements laced with steroids. These inhibit production
of androgens. Under influence of increased relative activity of oestrogens, male
breast enlargement occurs,“ Dr Choudhary says. He strongly condemns steroid use
for bodybuilding. “Steroid supplements are banned in professional sports. They can
cause kidney failure.“
It has been found that in obese people, there is increased activity of the enzyme,
aromatase, which causes conversion of androgens into oestrogens.“Being female
hormones, oestrogens cause breast enlargement in obese men. It's important to
stop use of steroid,“ says a senior doctor.
Kamlesh Verma (name changed) says his son had enlarged breasts due to which he
never participated in sports. “I took him to a plastic surgeon myself. The treatment
involved dissolving the extra muscle and sucking the fat inwards,“ he says. Verma
says more people are now seeking such treatment.
