China: Boy With Cup Size Breast Goes For Surgery by Sergioaguero: 3:26pm On Aug 24, 2017
A teenage boy in China gets a mastectomy to remove breast growth on the right side of his chest
Boys and girls tend to show the physical changes of puberty starting at age 10, but a 13-year-old boy in China got an unexpected surprise when he began to grow excess breast tissue. Six years later, the patient, nicknamed “Xiao Fang,” has undergone a mastectomy to remove his A-cup breast, which doctors have linked to fast food.

Feng’s breast growth is believed to be due to a hormonal imbalance brought on by the “gender bending” chemicals in fast food. Doctors at China’s Zhejiang Wenzhou Central Hospital found Feng’s body to be in otherwise perfect condition.



“The right side of the patient’s body resembles a woman, while the left a man,” Chief of Medicine Pan Zhongliang told the Qianjiang Evening Post, the DailyMail reported.

The condition is referred to as gynecomastia, which is characterized as the swelling of the breast tissue in boys or men, and is linked to an imbalance of the hormones estrogen and testosterone, according to Mayo Clinic. The condition is commonly found in newborns, boys going through puberty, and older men who develop it as a result of normal changes in hormone levels. Gynecomastia can go away on its own, but in Feng’s case, surgery was the best option to reduce breast tissue.

In the United States, surgery to correct gynecomastia can cost between $3,000 to $10,000, and is not covered by insurance because it’s not deemed medically necessary. Yet, gynecomastia-related surgeries have risen by 36 percent since 2000, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Dr. Adrian Lo, a plastic surgeon who specializes in gynecomastia in Philadelphia, P.a., performs four or five of these procedures a week.

“The men I see are usually pretty fit,” he told Men’s Health. “But most men with gynecomastia qualify for surgery even if they’re not an ideal weight.”

There are men who develop pubescent gynecomastia, which can not go away naturally, like Feng. Typically, the testicles produce both estrogen and testosterone, but in early puberty, some boys may not have enough free testosterone to counteract the estrogen. This hormone imbalance is reflected by the growth of breast tissue.
