Big breast syndrome attacks German soldiers

One breast of many male guards in Germany bulged and reached the size of a woman's breast.

Dozens of soldiers in a police unit called Wachbataillon reported to the commanding officer that their left chest bulged like a woman's chest.

Gynecomastia is a mammary development disorder in men. The manifestation of the disease is that the male mammary gland develops too strong compared to the normal level. The disease can affect one or both breasts. It is a normal physiological phenomenon in boys during puberty (the disease disappears after 1-2 years).
