    Gynecomastia, the enlargement of breast tissue in men, can be an embarrassing condition, but it is surprisingly common and usually benign.

    Overall, nearly half of men may experience the condition at some time in their lives, says Glenn D. Braunstein, MD, chairman of the department of medicine at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and the author of an article on the topic in the Sept. 20 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine.

    Later in life, in middle age and older adulthood, the condition can also appear or reappear, says Braunstein, who wrote the article to inform doctors about how to diagnose and treat the condition.

    During puberty, the condition is even more common, he tells WebMD. "Up to two-thirds of boys will develop gynecomastia during puberty," he says, although some cases will be so mild they go unnoticed.

    The good news: Gynecomastia during puberty generally disappears on its own. Later in life, the problem can often be traced to medications or treatments for prostate cancer. Treatment options, including medication and surgery, are very effective.

    Be careful, men get breast cancer too. See a doctor.
    It is natural for men's breasts to enlarge in old age. In about 50% of people, the breasts will become smaller again in time.
    It's also known as a bitch tit in weightlifting circles. It can occur as a side effect from taking steroids. During a nine week steroid cycle the dose increases as you reach the middle of your cycle or is highest at 4 and a half weeks. During this time your natural hormones will shut off if the dosages are high enough.

    If you don't use a regulator to restart your natural hormones at the end of a steroid cycle, gynecomastia may be a common side effect. TMO
