Namaskar to all my viewers! How are you all?
00:02.5
00:05.7
I’m back with a new video today
00:05.8
00:06.9
and in today’s video,
00:06.9
00:11.5
we will discuss a topic that is commonly misunderstood
00:11.5
00:13.7
People have several doubts about this topic.
00:13.7
00:15.6
People have several questions about it as well
00:15.6
00:17.0
And the topic is
00:17.0
00:20.2
Gynecomastia Or Manboobs
00:20.2
00:23.5
Based on my experience,
00:23.5
00:27.6
I will try to clear most of your doubts in today’s video.
00:27.6
00:29.0
Let’s start our video.
00:29.0
00:42.1
(Music Playing)
00:42.1
00:46.4
First of al Let us find out what Gynecomastia is…
00:46.4
00:49.4
It involves the enlargement of male-breast tissues
00:49.4
00:52.1
Or if it swells up
00:52.1
00:53.9
That is known as Gynecomastia.
00:53.9
00:57.5
This is caused due to hormonal imbalance.
00:57.5
01:04.8
Just as you all know that testosterone is the main male hormone.
01:05.1
01:09.2
Similarly, Estrogen is the main sex hormone for women.
01:09.2
01:15.3
But the levels of testosterone in men decreases
01:15.3
01:16.8
The levels of estrogen increases
01:16.8
01:20.8
Such people may end up suffering from Gynecomastia
01:20.8
01:23.5
At this point, a question arises
01:23.5
01:28.1
because I have met other men at the gym
01:28.1
01:30.8
who may have had chest fat and puffy nipples
01:30.8
01:33.6
I have heard them say that they’re suffering from Gynecomastia
01:33.6
01:35.3
Their trainers tell them that.
01:35.3
01:38.8
However, everyone with a fatty chest may not be suffering from Gynecomastia.
01:38.8
01:43.5
Therefore, this is why we must all know the difference between
01:43.5
01:48.8
pseudo-gynecomastia & true-gynecomastia.
01:48.8
01:51.0
In pseudo-gynecomastia,
01:51.0
01:55.2
fat gets deposited around the lower chest
01:55.2
01:59.7
due to obesity or excess body fat percentage.
01:59.7
02:04.1
And your chest starts looking like a female breasts.
02:04.1
02:06.7
Whereas in the case of true-gynecomastia,
02:06.7
02:10.2
a lump may form behind your nipples.
02:10.2
02:13.5
That can be touched and felt very easily.
02:13.6
02:15.3
It can be very painful.
02:15.3
02:19.0
And your nipples become very sensitive.
02:19.0
02:24.0
True-gynecomastia may occur only in one chest as well.
02:24.0
02:28.6
Let’s discuss a few causes of gynecomastia.
02:28.6
02:32.0
The first cause is natural hormonal changes.
02:32.0
02:37.4
In a newborn baby, he/she may be affected By the mother’s Estrogen hormone
02:37.4
02:40.0
which may cause gynecomastia in the child.
02:40.0
02:44.0
But that usually goes away in about 23 weeks.
02:44.0
02:47.6
Gynecomastia is very common during puberty
02:47.6
02:52.6
because that is the time when our body goes through a lot of hormonal changes
02:52.6
02:55.3
But in most cases, Gynecomastia wears off in about
02:55.4
02:59.1
6 months to 2 years
02:59.1
03:04.8
When our testosterone levels decrease during old-age
03:04.8
03:08.7
We have a higher chance of suffering from Gynecomastia.
03:08.7
03:11.1
However, in any case,
03:11.1
03:15.5
If Gynecomastia seems to last for more than 2 years
03:15.5
03:17.9
You should consult your doctor.
03:17.9
03:21.1
The second cause is the use of medication.
03:21.1
03:23.7
There are several diseases such as
03:23.7
03:27.0
Aids, Cancer, Heart disease,
03:27.0
03:28.9
Ulcer, Anxiety.
03:29.0
03:30.3
In order to treat these diseases,
03:30.3
03:33.1
the kind of medicines that must be used
03:33.1
03:35.8
that may often cause Gynecomastia.
03:35.8
03:41.6
People who use anabolic steroids to build muscles
03:41.7
03:46.8
They have a higher chance of developing Gynecomastia.
03:46.8
03:48.5
You would be surprised to hear this
03:48.5
03:51.2
I came across a research work that stated
03:51.2
03:58.0
The use of herbal oil like lavender and tea tree
03:58.0
04:00.1
may also cause Gynecomastia.
04:00.1
04:03.1
The third cause is excessive use of alcohol.
04:03.1
04:06.0
which means if you drink a lot of alcohol
04:06.0
04:08.5
Or if you drink alcohol every day
04:08.5
04:12.9
you have a much higher chance of developing Gynecomastia
04:12.9
04:18.1
because alcohol tends to affect your hormones quite a lot.
04:18.1
04:20.1
The fourth cause is your health condition.
04:20.1
04:21.8
There are many disorders that
04:21.8
04:25.3
if you suffer from them you may develop Gynecomastia
04:25.3
04:28.0
Such as Kidney failure, Liver failure,
04:28.0
04:31.1
Malnutrition, Hyperthyroid, Etcetera.
04:31.1
04:32.8
After talking about the causes,
04:32.8
04:34.6
Now we will discuss the treatments.
04:34.6
04:36.5
And just as I mentioned earlier
04:36.5
04:40.4
That you must wait for at least 2 years
04:40.5
04:44.6
But if gynecomastia persists even then,
04:44.6
04:48.7
Then you should avail treatment.
04:48.7
04:55.1
Many people say that medicines can cure it.
04:55.1
05:02.0
But FDA has not yet approved any medicine for this treatment.
05:02.0
05:06.7
This means that this can only be treated by surgery.
05:06.7
05:11.5
You must avail a surgery After consulting a good doctor.
05:11.5
05:13.8
Surgery for gynecomastia is of two types
05:13.8
05:16.0
One is Liposuction
05:16.0
05:18.4
and the other is Mastectomy.
05:18.4
05:25.0
In Liposuction, the fat around the chest area is removed.
05:25.0
05:28.5
And it is suitable for people with pseudo-gynecomastia.
05:28.5
05:32.0
It will take about 1-2 weeks to recover from this surgery.
05:32.0
05:37.5
In the case of Mastectomy, your breast gland tissues are removed.
05:37.5
05:43.0
And it is the only treatment for true-gynecomastia.
05:43.0
05:46.4
It may take about 6weeks to recover from this surgery.
05:46.4
05:50.0
In the end I would like to tell all of you that
05:50.0
05:54.3
gynecomastia of any form does not affect your physical health.
05:54.3
05:59.0
But your psychological or mental health may be affected
05:59.0
06:02.6
because it is embarrassing for many men.
06:02.7
06:08.5
I would suggest you go fo counselling.
06:08.5
06:11.9
Discuss the health concern among your friends and family.
06:11.9
06:17.3
And then discuss with those people who have already overcome this issue.
06:19.8
06:21.4
So this was our video for today.
06:21.4
06:24.2
I hope you all have enjoyed it.
