Basically, "Gynecomastia" means abnormal enlargement of breasts in men. In colloquial terms, it's also called 'male-boobs'. The normal patient is a young adult man between 20-28 decades old and is ashamed with his appearances and averts changing in people or performing tasks like swimming. Anything that can make kids seem different from their peers and encourage ridicule may have a dampening impact on their self-esteem and assurance.

Estrogens being hormones bring about breast enlargement in men.
