A lot of people worry about the risks of getting surgery. It’s important to make comparisons because the benefits outweigh the risks in most cases. Patients suffer more setbacks if they do not go through with a gynecomastia operation.
Physical Symptoms
Most patients are already too familiar with the symptoms of gynecomastia. The most obvious feature is the appearance of enlarged male breasts that may show through clothing. Many complain about the soreness and sensitivity that are associated with enlarged breasts. They feel the constant discomfort of having extra fat hanging from their upper bodies.
In addition, they complain about the unnatural sight of this excessive fatty tissue. The nipples protrude and become larger than normal. Overall, a person with this condition looks overweight and unhealthy.
Psychological Stress
Gynecomastia leads to the embarrassment of going out in public. Men are afraid to undress in locker rooms and wear tight clothing for fear of revealing their condition. Compared to people who don’t have the disease, they are less confident in their duties at work, at home and in the general public.
Men with gynecomastia produce higher-than-normal amounts of estrogen, which is a female hormone. As a result, many patients worry about developing female-related diseases that include breast cancer. They may check their breasts for lumps and swelling regularly.
However, gynecomastia is more common than male breast cancer. Each year, there are millions of gynecomastia cases and nearly 2,000 cases for that type of cancer. There are few, serious complications that are linked to male breast enlargement. Even so, men have misconceptions about certain diseases and find it hard to live stress-free lives.
Gynecomastia is not a serious disease, so it doesn’t seem necessary to get surgery, according to some doctors. They may complain about the risks, such as bleeding and swelling, along with the possible complications. However, people who suffer from the disease firsthand say that dealing with it is worse. They advise surgery to deal with the physical and psychological problems that are linked to this condition.
