Big Puffy Nipples Explained
Filed Under Men's Health
Big puffy nipples-or areolas in medical terminology-are one of the most common manifestations of the condition known as gynecomastia. The Greek language has given us many medical terms and ‘gynecomastia’ is no exception. So…
- ‘gyne’= woman
- ‘mastos’= breast.
This condition of feminine-like breasts or nipples can affect juveniles and men, right up to the very senior amongst us and, I appreciate from interacting with guys, young and old, that they are both embarrassed and concerned. As I say, I have worked with quite a few guys in the gym who have this areola condition, initially by encouraging them to go see their physician to diagnose the condition and later by helping them in the gym. I understand that it is hard for a lot of men, regardless of how old they are, to talk about their puffy areolas but it is imperative to get a doctor’s diagnosis that any encouragement from a fitness advisor is not only good but essential.
The good news for adolescent males is that 93% of sufferers, with any kind of manifestation of gynecomastia, will see it vanish, usually within 3 years. With regard to the 7% in whom the problem continues, the cause will be reasonably easy for your doctor to pinpoint.
Your physician may decide on hormonal treatment and/or adjustments to your diet and even your lifestyle to cure those male puffy nipples. The two hormones in question are Androgen and Estrogen, with Estrogen being the feminising one and obviously present at too great a level than is normal or with the Androgen hormone being too low in comparison with estrogen. In other words, the usual balance of the two is upset.
Men who continue to have gynecomastia beyond their ‘teens will realise that there must be other reasons:
Some medications prescribed for other conditions can give rise to hormonal imbalance.
Hormonal balance can also be thrown into disarray by regular use of anabolic steroids.
Those individuals who smoke marijuana for prolonged periods risk upsetting the balance of the 2 hormones resulting in puffy areolas.
Alcohol in large and regular quantities will do likewise.
As males grow older, the chance of getting gynecomastia increases, particularly over 60.
There are many other possible causes, some serious in their own right, where gynecomastia is an added effect. I have put an expanded list of gynecomastia causes on The Best Chest Guide website should you be interested in knowing more about large puffy nipples.
Having gymecomastia can cause an individual to have poor posture, wear baggy sweaters, shirts etc. in an effort to hide the condition. Some even spend 0 to 0 dollars-or more- on compression garments worn underneath their clothes. In fact, literally dozens of companies have sprung up to cater for this need!
However, before long remedial action has to be taken and the good news is that there are available other drug-free, natural approaches. I have evaluated many of these and include the best on my website, together with lots more information for those individuals with the problem of big, puffy nipples.
You don’t need to undergo liposuction or surgery, which can cost up to 00!
