It can be very troubling and embarrassing as a boy or man to have enlarged breasts like a woman, prompting boys or men with this problem to keep searching for possible causes and drugs for treating the condition, known as gynaecomastia.

Gynaecomastia occurs due to an imbalance between the hormones oestrogen (found in larger quantities in the woman) and testosterone (found in larger quantities in the man). So any condition in the male that either suppresses the level of testosterone or raises the level of oestrogen will allow oestrogen exert its effects in the man, one of which is the enlargement of breast tissue.
