I'm a Guy… So How Come I'm Developing Breasts?

Ah, puberty. It can be a very interesting time in a guy's life, what with all the changes going on. In fact, it seems like every day something on your body grows bigger or hair begins sprouting somewhere. Each day brings a new change or two, and it can sometimes feel like it's hard to keep up.

It doesn't happen to every guy, but one of these changes can be the development of breast tissue. It's called gynecomastia (pronounced: guy-nuh-ko-mas-tee-uh) and it's completely normal — and almost always temporary. So how exactly does a guy happen to develop breast tissue?

What Is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is a condition in which breast tissue forms in guys, usually due to normal hormonal changes during puberty. Hormones are chemicals produced by your body's glands. In a guy, hormones produced in the testicles are responsible for the physical changes that begin to take place during puberty — facial hair, muscle development, a deepening of the voice, and the lengthening of the penis, for example. Guys and girls produce both androgens (hormones that help develop and maintain male characteristics) and estrogen (a hormone that is responsible for most female characteristics).

Guys have mostly androgens in their systems, but they also have small amounts of estrogen. In girls, breast growth is caused by high levels of estrogen. Normally, when going through puberty, a guy's production of androgens increases significantly, whereas estrogen production remains low.

However, sometimes guys produce enough estrogen during puberty that some breast tissue develops. Breast tissue growth in guys can appear on one or both sides of the chest, and the breast area can feel tender. This doesn't mean you're turning into a girl or anything. It's just a minor change in your hormones as you begin to grow into adulthood.

How Common Is It?
It's estimated that about half of all males going through puberty experience some degree of gynecomastia in one or both breasts. Gynecomastia is almost always a temporary condition, and it's very unusual for the breasts to stay developed — they will eventually flatten out completely within a few months to a couple of years. It usually goes away on its own and no medical treatment or surgery is needed.

Even though it's just a temporary change for most teens, some guys with gynecomastia feel embarrassed or self-conscious about their appearance. Many guys find that wearing loose-fitting shirts helps make the condition less noticeable until the breast tissue shrinks over time. Surgical removal of the breast tissue is an option in some cases. If a guy finds his gynecomastia is bothering him, he can talk to a doctor about it.

Although the most common cause of gynecomastia is puberty, it can sometimes be caused by certain diseases or side effects of some medications. Using illegal drugs such as anabolic steroids, marijuana, or heroin can also disrupt hormonal balance and lead to gynecomastia.

There's also something called pseudogynecomastia (or false gynecomastia). This has nothing to do with puberty or hormones. It's just simply due to the fact that some guys have extra fat in the chest area, making it look like they have breasts. A doctor's exam can tell whether a guy has gynecomastia or pseudogynecomastia.

If you're concerned or have any questions about gynecomastia, talk to your doctor. Keep in mind that temporary breast tissue growth in guys is a common part of puberty that will usually go away on its own.

Male Reproductive System

The testicular self-examination (TSE) is an easy way for guys to check their own testicles to make sure there aren't any unusual lumps or bumps — which can be the first sign of testicular cancer.

Although testicular cancer is rare in teenage guys, overall it is the most common cancer in males between the ages of 15 and 35. It's important to try to do a TSE every month so you can become familiar with the normal size and shape of your testicles, making it easier to tell if something feels different or abnormal in the future.

Here's what to do:

  • It's best to do a TSE during or right after a hot shower or bath. The scrotum (skin that covers the testicles) is most relaxed then, which makes it easier to examine the testicles.

  • Examine one testicle at a time. Use both hands to gently roll each testicle (with slight pressure) between your fingers. Place your thumbs over the top of your testicle, with the index and middle fingers of each hand behind the testicle, and then roll it between your fingers.

  • You should be able to feel the epididymis (the sperm-carrying tube), which feels soft, rope-like, and slightly tender to pressure, and is located at the top of the back part of each testicle. This is a normal lump.


  • Remember that one testicle (usually the right one) is slightly larger than the other for most guys — this is also normal.

  • When examining each testicle, feel for any lumps or bumps along the front or sides. Lumps may be as small as a piece of rice or a pea.

  • If you notice any swelling, lumps, or changes in the size or color of a testicle, or if you have any pain or achy areas in your groin, let your doctor know right away.


Lumps or swelling may not be cancer, but they should be checked by your doctor as soon as possible. Testicular cancer is almost always curable if it is caught and treated early.

How to Cook Jacket Potatoes

Doesn’t the smell of hot jacket potatoes drive you crazy? It is the perfect delicacy for veggies and can be taken with any other dish. Learning how to cook jacket potatoes is fairly easy. It can be done on a day when you are tired and not in the mood to prepare anything which is time-consuming. Jacket potatoes are very healthy also as they retain all the vitamins which would otherwise have been lost while peeling the skin. Not only are they healthy but they are also very tasty if prepared carefully. Let us learn how to cook jacket potatoes so that we can do it all the while in our homes.





  • You obviously need potatoes to cook the dish. Besides potatoes, you also need some olive oil and salt for taste. The potatoes selected need to be of good variety. You can choose from among Maris Piper and Desiree varieties. The taste of the dish depends to a large extent on the quality of the potatoes.

  • It is important to preheat the oven to about 375 degrees Fahrenheit before you get started on cooking the potatoes.

  • Wash the potatoes well so that it does not have any dust or dirt sticking to them. You can even scrub them well and give them a good rub with a kitchen towel so that they are well dried.

  • The olive oil is the next ingredient to be used. You can rub the outside of the potatoes with olive oil and salt. This will help the potatoes to cook faster and also get a brownish color. The jacket potatoes will both look better and taste better.

  • Get some skewers and suspend the potatoes on these skewers. You can do this carefully so that you don’t crush the potatoes or cause them to crack open. The skewers should also be of the appropriate size. Usually you can use the skewers which are used for making kebabs. The skewers should preferably be made of metal so that the heat is conducted to the center quickly and the insides also cook evenly and faster.

  • Place a shelf in the middle of the oven and then arrange the skewers neatly on it. It will take quite a long time for the potatoes to be baked. After about 2 hours or so, you can observe that the skins turn crispy and brown.

  • After all the potatoes turn crispy, you can take out the skewers carefully and place them on a tray. You can then slit the potatoes in two halves and make it fluffy with a fork. The potatoes can still be made tastier by sprinkling some olive oil again with some salt and pepper.

  • Close your eyes and enjoy this dish along with a salad. It does not have many calories and is good for your health.
