It's not just women who have it!....

When you ask any boy, or even a man, if he'd like to have breasts, more times than not, you get an enthusiastic 'Yes' for an answer. But, for some men, that is more if a true saying, than that of a one time wish.
Gynaecomastia (a mouthful, yes) or 'man boobs' as it's commonly known, is a common condition in teenage boys, where, firm, tender breast tissue grows under the nipples. The condition is usually caused by an imbalance of hormones during puberty and can disappear without treatment after a couple of years.
