The overgrowth of the breast is also known as gynaecomastia - which is mainly caused by obesity, which causes an imbalance in male sex hormones.

The imbalance of two sex hormones estrogen and testosterone may also originate from some drugs used to treat depression, cardiovascular disease and liver. In addition, it is related to some types of cancer drugs that reduce the amount of male hormones.
