ABSTRACT
Gynecomastia is the term used to describe the benign growth of glandular breast tissue in men. Males of any age, from infancy to old age, can be affected by it. It is explained by the formation of breast tissue that is larger than 2 cm. Nearly all cases are physiological, however it's critical to identify pathological causes because they require specialised care or treatment. Up to 70% of all boys and up to 2/3 of all adult males develop pubertal gynecomastia, which can be felt when being examined.Physiological gynaecomastia is usually seen in newborns, adolescents, and older men. A case of a 20 year old boy is presented here who was presented with pathological gynaecomastia and hyperthyroidism was treated with individualised homoeopathic medicine. The gynaecomastia and hyperthyroidism disappeared within a short period of treatment with general improvement of the patient.
Key words: Physiological Gynecomastia, Pathological gynecomastia, Repertorisation, Individualised homoeopathic medicine.
