The condition of overdeveloped breasts in men is not uncommon. Sometimes during thpe puberty in boys, these breast glands increase in size. This enlargement can also be a result of some diseases, use of particular drugs and hormonal changes. A Gynecomastia in male can result into low self-confidence as well as emotional discomfort.
