Common causes for Gynaecomastia

This causes a hormonal imbalance in a male body that needs to be taken of immediately, but left ignored by most males. This ignorance is somehow the main reason for the cause of man boobs. For most men, this hormonal imbalance tends to come back to normal when they reach the adult age. But for some of them, the fat muscles had accumulated during the hormonal imbalance which will not go back to normal because the fat tissues are now well grown and are a part of male’s body tissues.

However there are other causes for the conditions that remain an issue in the adulthood.
