The resolution of enlarged male breast tissue, medically termed gynaecomastia, is variable and depends heavily on the underlying cause and duration of the condition. It is important to understand that the timeline for its disappearance can differ significantly from person to person.
The significance of understanding the potential for regression lies in managing expectations and guiding appropriate treatment strategies. In some instances, particularly in adolescents experiencing pubertal changes, the enlargement may resolve spontaneously within a few months to a few years. However, if the condition is caused by underlying medical issues, medication side effects, or hormonal imbalances, addressing the root cause is crucial for any potential reduction. Early diagnosis and intervention can increase the likelihood of spontaneous resolution and prevent the need for more invasive interventions.
