Gynecomastia or Gynaecomastia , , is the abnormal development of large mammary glands in males resulting in breast enlargement. The term comes from the Greek γυνή gyné (stem gynaik- ) meaning woman and μαστός mastós meaning breast. The condition can occur physiologically in neonates (due to female hormones from the mother ), in adolescence , and in the elderly (Both in adolescence and elderly it is an abnormal condition associated with disease or metabolic disorders). In adolescent boys the condition is often a source of distress, but for the large majority of boys whose pubescent gynecomastia is not due to obesity , the breast development shrinks or disappears within a couple of years.
