"Unusual Physical Characteristics in Men Linked to Early Death Risk"
Men with enlarged breast tissue, known as gynaecomastia, may be at greater risk of early death, with a 37% increased risk compared to those without the condition, according to a study from the University of Copenhagen. The condition, caused by hormone imbalance, affects a significant portion of males and is different from pseudo gynaecomastia, which is linked to being overweight or obese. Men with pre-existing conditions are 75% more likely to develop gynaecomastia, with the greatest risks associated with certain diseases. Treatment options include medication to adjust hormone imbalance and surgery to remove excess breast tissue. If concerned, individuals should contact their GP for evaluation and potential treatment.
