Some people use man boobs as a joke and some even hurl it as an insult. But for men who suffer from it, man boobs are no laughing matter.
Medically known as gynecomastia, it's one of the most embarrassing male health problems and it’s more common than you might think.
Also known as gyno, gynecomastia in males can happen even during infancy. According to a 2009 study, the probability of having gynecomastia is 90% in infants, 50% to 60% in teens, and 70% in men 50 to 69 years old.
Additionally, the Mayo Clinic estimates that within the 50 to 69 age bracket, at least one in four men suffers from gynecomastia.
