Just as there are ideals about what a woman\u2019s breast should be like, so a man will ideally have fine pectoral muscles, accompanied by a six-pack.

These are not real breasts in the sense of being mammary glands able to lactate and nurse a baby, although it is possible on very rare occasions for men to get breast cancer &#8211; albeit <\/span><a id=\"E73\" contenteditable=\"false\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cancer.gov\/types\/breast\/hp\/male-breast-treatment-pdq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span id=\"E74\" class=\"qowt-stl-Hyperlink\">only in one per cent of cases<\/span><\/a><span id=\"E75\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E76\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E77\">If their presence leaves you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.miletoaesthetics.com\/en\/breast-plastic-surgery\/breast-reduction\/\">considering the possibility of <\/a><\/span><span id=\"E78\">male breast reduction surgery in London<\/span><span id=\"E79\">, it is important to know how and why they occur, as this can help you establish whether the surgical route is the best one for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E80\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E81\">Male breasts do not happen entirely by chance. <\/span><span id=\"E82\">If you have put on a lot of weight, the chances are there will be excess fat there just as there may be on your belly and elsewhere around your body. However, there are a number of specific factors that can make man breasts more likely to form.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E83\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E84\">The first of these is diet. This is not simply a case of eating too much of the wrong stuff, although that is a part of it. Some foods can do more than others to add extra fat in that area. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E85\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><a id=\"E86\" contenteditable=\"false\" href=\"https:\/\/sciencebehindsweat.com\/foods-that-cause-man-breasts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span id=\"E87\" class=\"qowt-stl-Hyperlink\">Science <\/span><span id=\"E89\" class=\"qowt-stl-Hyperlink\">Behind<\/span><span id=\"E91\" class=\"qowt-stl-Hyperlink\"> Sweat<\/span><\/a><span id=\"E92\"> lists ten of these. <\/span><span id=\"E93\">Some of them may seem obvious, like sugar, alcohol, frozen meat, deep-fried foods and canned foods with all their additives. Dairy products are also on this list, but not just because of their fat content; they also contain oestrogen, which increases the growth of breast tissue. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E94\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E95\">Others may come as a surprise. Shrimps have lots of protein and are usually fi<\/span><span id=\"E96\">ne, but no<\/span><span id=\"E97\">t if you have them too often. Soy contain<\/span><span id=\"E98\">s a lot of oe<\/span><span id=\"E99\">strogen<\/span><span id=\"E100\">. Eggs contain a high level of fat and while fruit is normally good for you, beware the strawberry: it is a very sugary fruit, so having that with cream while watching Wimbledon on TV is double trouble, tradition or not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E101\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E102\">For some, a radical change in diet plus lots of exercise is the best way forward. But for others, there may be further issues involving your <\/span><span id=\"E103\">hormonal balance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E104\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E105\">As stated above, the <\/span><a id=\"E106\" contenteditable=\"false\" href=\"https:\/\/mantalityhealth.com\/what-causes-man-boobs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span id=\"E107\" class=\"qowt-stl-Hyperlink\">balance of oestrogen and testosterone<\/span><\/a><span id=\"E108\"> is a key factor <\/span><span id=\"E109\">and for some men. This is particularly true as men get older; once you pass 50, the levels of testosterone production dip, so extra oestrogen can have a swelling effect. Liver and kidney disease can also be a factor.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"contentsContainer\" class=\"style-scope qowt-page\">\n<div id=\"contents\" class=\"style-scope qowt-page\">\n<p id=\"E110\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0 x-scope qowt-word-para-0 x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E111\">For that reason, man breasts are not simply something that can always be fixed with diet and exercise. Surgery can help achieve what a hormonally-unbalanced body cannot.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to breast surgery, normally one thinks of it as women having an implant after mastectomy, an enlargement or a reduction.
