The prof losing is a sign of good omen to us. It leaves PDP with the dilemma of what to do with Fayose. That is what we want to know now. Would PDP abandon Fayose and the SW completely?

Enlarged breasts in men (gynecomastia)

(gynecomastia)
Enlarged breasts in men (gynecomastia)
Gynecomastia (guy-nuh-koh-MAS-tee-uh) is swelling of the breast tissue in boys or men, caused by an imbalance of the hormones estrogen and testosterone. Gynecomastia can affect one or both breasts, sometimes unevenly. Newborns, boys going through puberty and older men may develop gynecomastia as a result of normal changes in hormone levels, though other causes also exist.


Generally, gynecomastia isn't a serious problem, but it can be tough to cope with the condition. Men and boys with gynecomastia sometimes have pain in their breasts and may feel embarrassed.

Gynecomastia may go away on its own. If it persists, medication or surgery may help.

Symptoms
Signs and symptoms of gynecomastia include:

Swollen breast gland tissue
Breast tenderness
When to see a doctor

See your doctor if you have:

Swelling
Pain
Tenderness
Nipple discharge in one or both breasts
Request an Appointment at Mayo Clinic
Causes
Gynecomastia is triggered by a decrease in the amount of the hormone testosterone compared with estrogen. The cause of this decrease can be conditions that block the effects of or reduce testosterone or a condition that increases your estrogen level. Several things can upset the hormone balance, including the following.

Natural hormone changes

The hormones testosterone and estrogen control the development and maintenance of sex characteristics in both men and women. Testosterone controls male traits, such as muscle mass and body hair. Estrogen controls female traits, including the growth of breasts.

Most people think of estrogen as an exclusively female hormone, but men also produce it — though normally in small quantities. However, male estrogen levels that are too high or are out of balance with testosterone levels can cause gynecomastia.

Gynecomastia in infants. More than half of male infants are born with enlarged breasts due to the effects of their mother's estrogen. Generally, the swollen breast tissue goes away within two to three weeks after birth.
Gynecomastia during puberty. Gynecomastia caused by hormone changes during puberty is relatively common. In most cases, the swollen breast tissue will go away without treatment within six months to two years.
Gynecomastia in men. The prevalence of gynecomastia peaks again between the ages of 50 and 69. At least 1 in 4 men in this age group are affected.
Medications

A number of medications can cause gynecomastia. These include:

Anti-androgens used to treat prostate enlargement, prostate cancer and some other conditions. Examples include flutamide, finasteride (Proscar, Propecia) and spironolactone (Aldactone).
Anabolic steroids and androgens.
AIDS medications. Gynecomastia can develop in HIV-positive men who are receiving a treatment regimen called highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Efavirenz (Sustiva) is more commonly associated with gynecomastia than are other HIV medications.
Anti-anxiety medications, such as diazepam (Valium).
Tricyclic antidepressants.
Antibiotics.
Ulcer medications, such as cimetidine (Tagamet HB).
Cancer treatment (chemotherapy).
Heart medications, such as digoxin (Lanoxin) and calcium channel blockers.
Gastric motility medications, such as metoclopramide (Reglan).
Street drugs and alcohol

Substances that can cause gynecomastia include:

Alcohol
Amphetamines
Marijuana
Heroin
Methadone
Health conditions

Several health conditions can cause gynecomastia by affecting the normal balance of hormones. These include:

Hypogonadism. Any of the conditions that interfere with normal testosterone production, such as Klinefelter's syndrome or pituitary insufficiency, can be associated with gynecomastia.
Aging. Hormone changes that occur with normal aging can cause gynecomastia, especially in men who are overweight.
Tumors. Some tumors, such as those involving the testes, adrenal glands or pituitary gland, can produce hormones that alter the male-female hormone balance.
Hyperthyroidism. In this condition, the thyroid gland produces too much of the hormone thyroxine.
Kidney failure. About half the people being treated with regular hemodialysis experience gynecomastia due to hormonal changes.
Liver failure and cirrhosis. Hormonal fluctuations related to liver problems as well as medications taken for cirrhosis are associated with gynecomastia.
Malnutrition and starvation. When your body is deprived of adequate nutrition, testosterone levels drop, but estrogen levels remain constant, causing a hormonal imbalance. Gynecomastia can also occur once normal nutrition resumes.
Herbal products

Plant oils, such as tea tree or lavender, used in shampoos, soaps or lotions have been associated with gynecomastia. This is probably due to their weak estrogenic activity.

Risk factors
Risk factors for gynecomastia include:

Adolescence
Older age
Use of anabolic steroids or androgens to enhance athletic performance
Certain health conditions, including liver and kidney disease, thyroid disease, hormonally active tumors, and Klinefelter's syndrome
Complications
Gynecomastia has few physical complications, but it can cause psychological or emotional problems caused by appearance.

Prevention
There are a few factors you can control that may reduce the risk of gynecomastia:

Don't use illegal drugs. Examples include steroids and androgens, amphetamines, heroin, and marijuana.
Avoid alcohol. Don't drink alcohol, or drink in moderation.
Review your medications. If you're taking medication known to cause gynecomastia

Igbos are not interested in National politics as we have left it for you and your supreme masters (Northerners) to justle. We are only wary of having contaminants in the form of APC taking over our zone and we displayed that effectively in the just concluded Anambra state guber elections so stop chestbeating.

Whenever you are tempted to think that the Igbos care about political power, always remember this story which depicts the power play in Nigeria.... Nigeria is like a village where the North, SW and SE live together...The North will go for a hunting expedition with yorubas in a thick forest within the village with the yorubas who will be the ones to carry the hunting weapons and tools on their heads, they (the yorubas) will sight a prey, go for the kill, bring the kill home with the north, make the fire, skin the animal caught and roast it while the North just sits down relaxing and after the meat is ready, the North gives the Yoruba the entrails (intestines) only and eat the remaining bulk of the meat. The South East are like pure vegetarian farmers who live very close to the Northern Hunter and his South West slave and feed only on the grains and vegetables which they grow and harvest without the want or care of meat. They live well and healthy off the vegetables, the North feeds fat from the meat while the slave looks malnourished from the intestines given to him by the master.

If you can reverse this statement to yourself I think it will do you a lot of good.

Tamakay:
The very first time I am reading such a shallow and impulsive thread on Nairaland.

I had wanted to reply him but the mention of a party changed my thought. He's sentimental simply because Edo State is controlled by APC so therefore Federal might will be used to fight the Ijaws.

Let it not be that the 2015 agenda will be tested in Edo State if the state government refused to thread cautiously on this issue.

I don't really like making noise on social media but I know the Ijaws are not a tribe u threat and go scot free in this 21st century because they can march any tribe in all ramifications. Pls let us not fan the embers of war because it will not do us any good.

PHILipu1:
Come this side and as aboki people are sleeping with your Ijaw sisters for just a plate of Idomie.
Your ijaw sisters are worthless and i will no even allow my dog to get close to them.
They are too cheap and you should be ashame.
Is it because they are black like back of pot is that why they don't even value themselves?

gregyboy:
omo see person when dey talk fight come ooh u b boy or girl because by your comment u write like a bitch

GrandFinale2017:
perfect.
I reside here in Edo and you are very correct.

tommynico:
Ijaws are the southern nomads, they are all opportunists who by trade settle around wherever they are found now outside bayelsa. It is a well known fact that ijaws in ondo state were settlers who were allowed to settle by the ilajes

tolguy:
dis tin pain u wel wel

kenonze:
igbos reading this thread will be like

Wow so Na so e dey sweet to watch fight instead of fighting

LifeIsGuhd:
29th isn't far...
We are waiting!

PHILipu1:
Your Ijaw sisters are too cheap and don't have any level and that is why nobody talks about them.

DamiBukola:
F..l, so the 11 Ijaw LGAs in Rivers State are part of your useless Itsekiri land, the 5 LGAs in Delta are part of yours as well?

Some of you should be locked up in one of the gaols in Sambisa forest.

The Ijaws in Bayelsa are not up to the ones in Rivers.

AdaFonju:
Google is your friend say no to illetracy, Ijaws are also indegenous to Ondo delta Edo akwaibom state ,

https://www.nairaland.com/4221267/press-release-ijaws-egbema-clan#4221267.24

You can educate yourself with that thread,but I doubt if you've got the mental stamina to go through the entire piece.As always folks like you have a brain the size of a pea.

Calmpoacher:
Oporopo no matter how much you tell that lie,it won't make it the truth.Ijaws are indigenous to Rivers, Bayelsa,Edo,Delta,Ondo and Akwaibom.

Calmpoacher:
Thank you for this post.There is a deliberate attempt by some unscrupulous elements to wipe off the existence of indigenous Ijaws from the map of Edo State.

For those folks,you won't know what hit you when the time comes.The shadows are gathering in the creeks and watching with keen interest.
