Everyone experiences the onset of puberty differently, it can start at 8 years old, 15 years old and continue until 18 years old and even 19 years old. Therefore, it is extremely important for parents to pay attention to the physical and psychological state of their child. It is important that his life includes physical activity, a balanced diet, enough vitamins and minerals, and no stress.
The disease code according to ICD 10 in children is No. 62. Juvenile gynecomastia can be either unilateral or bilateral - in any case, it is necessary to determine the cause and prescribe treatment.
Main reasons
Let's look at the main reasons that lead to breast enlargement in boys:
- the beginning of the production of male sex hormones, especially testosterone. In a young body, all the mechanisms of work have not yet been adjusted, especially the work of the entire reproductive system. When testosterone is formed, it goes through a stage in which it becomes very similar to estrogen, and estrogen is a female sex hormone, which also affects the growth of mammary glands in girls. So, if the hormonal system is normal, then testosterone goes through all stages and works it’s normal, if a malfunction occurs, then there is little testosterone and a lot of estrogen, as a result - breast growth in a teenager;
- excess weight in a child - contributes to the development of false teenage gynecomastia, can be both a complicating factor for gynecomastia and provoke its development due to a detrimental effect on the hormonal system;
- the presence of pathologies in which the production of estrogen significantly increases. Such diseases include chromosomal abnormalities, liver dysfunction, neoplasms in the genital organs;
- extremely rarely, gynecomastia in boys is caused by injuries and damage to the chest area;
- various genetic anomalies - Reifenstein syndrome, Kallmann syndrome, XX-men, etc.;
- taking certain medications. There is a high probability of enlargement of the mammary glands in adolescents when taking anabolic steroids and other drugs that can make adjustments to hormonal levels.
All causes can be simultaneously or interconnected, so it is necessary to conduct a thorough diagnosis, since the success of treatment will depend on the identified cause.

Symptoms of pubertal gynecomastia in boys
Signs of abnormal development are quite easy to suspect, since they are of a pronounced nature, for example:
- a boy may experience significant enlargement of one or both breasts;
- you can notice that the area of the nipples has increased, and their swelling is often observed;
- when palpating, there may be lumps under the nipple halo;
- a teenager may experience itching and even pain in the chest area;
- Discharge from the nipples is extremely rare.
If you suspect any violations in adolescents, you must immediately consult a doctor to conduct a diagnosis and identify the main cause that led to these violations.
How to pump up a teenager in the gym
The best place to train your chest to pump up and change the shape of your body muscles is to do fitness in the gym where there are all the exercise machines, dumbbells, barbells of all weights for a fully varied workout. That's why many professionals recommend the gym as their main location.
Muscle stretching exercises at home
Many people wonder how to properly stretch muscles and what exercises are there to stretch and relax muscles after training, both in the gym and at home. In fact, there are basic positions with which you can stretch easily and without much effort.
- The first position of the stretch is to extend your arm along the shoulder lines and grab something comfortable while maintaining the position of your arm, turn your torso to the side by taking a step forward and thereby stretch the muscle fibers for 30-40 seconds on each side.
- The second position is to stand between the doorway, extend your arms to the side along the shoulder lines and take a step forward.
- The third position is to stand with your back to the wall bars where there is a ladder and grab the steps with your hands and take a step forward where, in addition to the chest muscles, the front of the shoulder also stretches strongly.
When stretching muscles, you should not make long delays in time so as not to injure the muscles or pull them.
Diagnosis of gynecomastia in children and adolescents
If you suspect a hormonal imbalance or the development of gynecomastia, you should contact an endocrinologist. When contacting a doctor, they will perform palpation and a full examination of the patient. Based on these data and the collected medical history, the specialist will be able to make a preliminary diagnosis, and to clarify the degree of development of juvenile gynecomastia, identify complications and the causes of its occurrence, the patient will be sent for an ultrasound and blood test.
Based on the diagnosis, the doctor can name the cause of the boy’s condition: genetic predispositions, serious hormonal disorders, or simply an imbalance of the hormonal system, which is caused by adolescence.
By identifying the cause of the development of teenage gynecomastia and assessing the general condition of the patient, the specialist will be able to tell how to treat the disease.
Treatment methods for pubertal gynecomastia
After undergoing diagnostic tests and confirming the diagnosis, the endocrinologist will prescribe treatment based on the data obtained.
In most cases, serious treatment of the patient, especially surgery, is not required and when the hormonal system is stabilized, all indicators return to normal. But, if enlargement of the mammary glands in boys continues for a long period of time, then drug treatment or surgery is necessary.
Depending on the root cause of the problem, medications are prescribed. Most often, a teenager must take pills containing male sex hormones, or medications that suppress the secretion of estrogen.
For normal growth and development of the body during puberty, a child needs a sufficient amount of vitamins and minerals. They can be obtained either from food or in the form of special dietary supplements.
During the treatment of teenage gynecomastia, it is mandatory to take vitamin-mineral complexes, or a specialist may prescribe the intake of some individual elements that are in short supply in the patient’s body.
Which doctor should I contact?
I, Romanov Georgy Nikitich, endocrinologist, candidate of medical sciences. For more than two decades I have been helping people with various diseases. I gained my experience not only in our country, but also abroad, both in Russia and in some Western countries. I know modern methods of treating and diagnosing patients with endocrine diseases. For 3 years of work, I had more than one patient with pubertal gynecomastia, which we successfully treated.
Today I work in a clinic and also provide paid online consultations. To get an appointment with me, you need to make an appointment in one of the proposed messengers: Viber, Telegram, Instagram, WhatsApp, Skype, Vkontakte.
I will be glad to see you among my patients.
