This condition is mainly caused by hormonal imbalance in the body, which may be triggered by a variety of factors. It often occurs in teenage boys going through puberty and young able-bodied men in their 20s and 30s. It happens when there is too much oestrogen produced by the body in comparison to testosterone. An imbalance between the production levels of these two hormones causes gynecomastia and can happen at any age during or after puberty.
