Overview

Common known causes of gynecomastia include physiological, use of medications and pathological (cirrhosis, hyperthyroidism, testicular tumors and hypogonadism). Less common causes include androgen insensitivity syndrome, Kallmann syndrome, testosterone pathway defects and other tumors.

Less common causes include Causes

Life-threatening Causes

Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated. There are no known life-threatening causes of gynecomastia.

Common Causes

  • Drugs[1][2][3] [4]
    • Antiandrogens
    • 5-Alpha reductase inhibtors
    • Cimitidine
    • Estrogen
    • Gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist
    • Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)
    • Recombinant human growth hormone
