GynecomastiaA long list of ordinary prescriptions can cause male breast tissue to grow, and a lot of men are handed that list without the one thing that makes it useful. Whether stopping the drug can still work depends on how long the tissue has been there, and there is a window after which it does not matter what started it.

§ 04 · Frequently Asked
Gynecomastia is enlarged male breast tissue, often a mix of glandular tissue and fat. It can be caused by hormonal shifts (puberty, aging, certain medications, anabolic steroid use) or be idiopathic. A workup by your primary care physician or endocrinologist before surgery is standard.
