00:00:00,380 --> 00:00:02,270
Namaskar to all my viewers! How are you all?

2
00:00:02,270 --> 00:00:05,450
I’m back with a new video today

3
00:00:05,450 --> 00:00:06,040
and in today’s video,

4
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:11,020
we will discuss a topic that is commonly 
misunderstood

5
00:00:11,020 --> 00:00:13,660
People have several doubts about this topic.

6
00:00:13,660 --> 00:00:15,410
People have several questions about it as 
well

7
00:00:15,410 --> 00:00:17,820
And the topic is

8
00:00:17,820 --> 00:00:20,130
Gynecomastia Or Manboobs

9
00:00:20,130 --> 00:00:23,980
Based on my experience,

10
00:00:23,980 --> 00:00:27,380
I will try to clear most of your doubts in 
today’s video.

11
00:00:27,380 --> 00:00:29,030
Let’s start our video.

12
00:00:29,030 --> 00:00:42,570
(Music Playing)

13
00:00:42,570 --> 00:00:46,070
First of al Let us find out what Gynecomastia 
is…

14
00:00:46,070 --> 00:00:49,290
It involves the enlargement of male-breast 
tissues

15
00:00:49,290 --> 00:00:52,050
Or if it swells up

16
00:00:52,050 --> 00:00:53,350
That is known as Gynecomastia.

17
00:00:53,350 --> 00:00:57,370
This is caused due to hormonal imbalance.

18
00:00:57,370 --> 00:01:04,680
Just as you all know that testosterone is 
the main male hormone.

19
00:01:05,990 --> 00:01:09,460
Similarly, Estrogen is the main sex hormone 
for women.

20
00:01:09,460 --> 00:01:15,950
But the levels of testosterone in men decreases

21
00:01:15,950 --> 00:01:16,290
The levels of estrogen increases

22
00:01:16,290 --> 00:01:20,950
Such people may end up suffering from Gynecomastia

23
00:01:20,950 --> 00:01:23,180
At this point, a question arises

24
00:01:23,180 --> 00:01:28,980
because I have met other men at the gym

25
00:01:28,980 --> 00:01:30,290
who may have had chest fat and puffy nipples

26
00:01:30,290 --> 00:01:33,740
I have heard them say that they’re suffering 
from Gynecomastia

27
00:01:33,740 --> 00:01:35,310
Their trainers tell them that.

28
00:01:35,310 --> 00:01:38,420
However, everyone with a fatty chest may 
not be suffering from Gynecomastia.

29
00:01:38,420 --> 00:01:43,010
Therefore, this is why we must all know the 
difference between

30
00:01:43,010 --> 00:01:48,810
pseudo-gynecomastia & true-gynecomastia.

31
00:01:48,810 --> 00:01:51,010
In pseudo-gynecomastia,

32
00:01:51,010 --> 00:01:55,010
fat gets deposited around the lower chest

33
00:01:55,010 --> 00:01:59,870
due to obesity or excess body fat percentage.

34
00:01:59,870 --> 00:02:04,760
And your chest starts looking like a female 
breasts.

35
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,030
Whereas in the case of true-gynecomastia,

36
00:02:06,030 --> 00:02:10,290
a lump may form behind your nipples.

37
00:02:10,290 --> 00:02:13,430
That can be touched and felt very easily.

38
00:02:13,430 --> 00:02:15,970
It can be very painful.

39
00:02:15,970 --> 00:02:19,010
And your nipples become very sensitive.

40
00:02:19,010 --> 00:02:24,010
True-gynecomastia may occur only in one chest 
as well.

41
00:02:24,010 --> 00:02:28,260
Let’s discuss a few causes of gynecomastia.

42
00:02:28,260 --> 00:02:32,010
The first cause is natural hormonal changes.

43
00:02:32,010 --> 00:02:37,620
In a newborn baby, he/she may be affected 
 By the mother’s Estrogen hormone

44
00:02:37,620 --> 00:02:40,020
which may cause gynecomastia in the child.

45
00:02:40,020 --> 00:02:44,980
But that usually goes away in about 23 weeks.

46
00:02:44,980 --> 00:02:47,270
Gynecomastia is very common during puberty

47
00:02:47,270 --> 00:02:52,370
because that is the time when our body goes 
through a lot of hormonal changes

48
00:02:52,370 --> 00:02:55,980
But in most cases, Gynecomastia wears off 
in about

49
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,980
6 months to 2 years

50
00:02:59,980 --> 00:03:04,930
When our testosterone levels decrease during 
old-age

51
00:03:04,930 --> 00:03:08,020
We have a higher chance of suffering from 
Gynecomastia.

52
00:03:08,020 --> 00:03:11,260
However, in any case,

53
00:03:11,260 --> 00:03:15,540
If Gynecomastia seems to last for more than 
2 years

54
00:03:15,540 --> 00:03:17,350
You should consult your doctor.

55
00:03:17,350 --> 00:03:21,760
The second cause is the use of medication.

56
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,270
There are several diseases such as

57
00:03:23,270 --> 00:03:27,340
Aids, Cancer, Heart disease,

58
00:03:27,340 --> 00:03:28,550
Ulcer, Anxiety.

59
00:03:29,550 --> 00:03:30,140
In order to treat these diseases,

60
00:03:30,140 --> 00:03:33,980
the kind of medicines that must be used

61
00:03:33,980 --> 00:03:35,970
that may often cause Gynecomastia.

62
00:03:35,970 --> 00:03:41,430
People who use anabolic steroids to build 
muscles

63
00:03:41,430 --> 00:03:46,110
They have a higher chance of developing Gynecomastia.

64
00:03:46,110 --> 00:03:48,170
You would be surprised to hear this

65
00:03:48,170 --> 00:03:51,190
I came across a research work that stated

66
00:03:51,190 --> 00:03:58,420
The use of herbal oil like lavender and tea 
tree

67
00:03:58,420 --> 00:04:00,770
may also cause Gynecomastia.

68
00:04:00,770 --> 00:04:03,870
The third cause is excessive use of alcohol.

69
00:04:03,870 --> 00:04:06,810
which means if you drink a lot of alcohol

70
00:04:06,810 --> 00:04:08,880
Or if you drink alcohol every day

71
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,970
you have a much higher chance of developing 
Gynecomastia

72
00:04:12,970 --> 00:04:18,020
because alcohol tends to affect your hormones 
quite a lot.

73
00:04:18,020 --> 00:04:20,210
The fourth cause is your health condition.

74
00:04:20,210 --> 00:04:21,480
There are many disorders that

75
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,040
if you suffer from them you may develop Gynecomastia

76
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,170
Such as  Kidney failure, Liver failure,

77
00:04:28,170 --> 00:04:31,710
Malnutrition, Hyperthyroid, Etcetera.

78
00:04:31,710 --> 00:04:32,790
After talking about the causes,

79
00:04:32,790 --> 00:04:34,540
Now we will discuss the treatments.

80
00:04:34,540 --> 00:04:36,020
And just as I mentioned earlier

81
00:04:36,020 --> 00:04:40,830
That you must wait for at least 2 years

82
00:04:40,500 --> 00:04:44,980
But if gynecomastia persists even then,

83
00:04:44,980 --> 00:04:48,710
Then you should avail treatment.

84
00:04:48,710 --> 00:04:55,050
Many  people say that medicines can cure 
it.

85
00:04:55,050 --> 00:05:02,050
But FDA has not yet approved any medicine 
for this treatment.

86
00:05:02,050 --> 00:05:06,360
This means that this can only be treated 
by surgery.

87
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:11,820
You must avail a surgery After consulting 
a good doctor.

88
00:05:11,820 --> 00:05:13,980
Surgery for gynecomastia  is of two types

89
00:05:13,980 --> 00:05:16,750
One is Liposuction

90
00:05:16,750 --> 00:05:18,710
and the other is Mastectomy.

91
00:05:18,710 --> 00:05:25,980
In Liposuction, the fat around the chest 
area is removed.

92
00:05:25,980 --> 00:05:28,050
And it is suitable for people with pseudo-gynecomastia.

93
00:05:28,050 --> 00:05:32,750
It will take about 1-2 weeks to recover from 
this surgery.

94
00:05:32,750 --> 00:05:37,610
In the case of Mastectomy, your breast gland 
tissues are removed.

95
00:05:37,610 --> 00:05:43,160
And it is the only treatment for true-gynecomastia.

96
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,250
It may take about  6weeks to recover from 
this surgery.

97
00:05:46,250 --> 00:05:50,960
In the end I would like to tell all of you 
that

98
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,280
gynecomastia of any form does not affect 
your physical health.

99
00:05:54,280 --> 00:05:59,360
But your psychological or mental health may 
be affected

100
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,210
because it is embarrassing for many men.

101
00:06:02,210 --> 00:06:08,980
I would suggest you go fo counselling.

102
00:06:08,980 --> 00:06:11,580
Discuss the health concern among your friends 
and family.

103
00:06:11,580 --> 00:06:17,070
And then discuss with those people who have 
already overcome this issue.

104
00:06:19,910 --> 00:06:21,410
So this was our video for today.

105
00:06:21,410 --> 00:06:24,030
I hope you all have enjoyed it.

106
00:06:24,030 --> 00:06:28,480
Next time, wherever tells you that you have 
gynecomastia,

107
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:29,070
please be aware.

108
00:06:29,070 --> 00:06:31,230
Consult your Doctor.

109
00:06:31,230 --> 00:06:36,940
I will keep creating such informational videos 
for you all

110
00:06:36,940 --> 00:06:37,050
And I will keep visiting you all.

111
00:06:37,050 --> 00:06:39,970
Till then Take care of yourself and your 
health.

112
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,040
Till then Goodbye

113
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,190
Namaste...
