Hello- The main difference between the Gynecomastia and Pseudogynecomastia (chest fat) is the mass that?s causing the swelling. By considering the following differences you can figure out whether you have gynecomastia or just chest fat. Gynecomastia is: ? Due to excess breast tissue/glandular tissue growth. ? The underlying matter is tissue which is firm,irregular and sometimes even painful to touch. ? Hard lump under the nipple but can also extend outside the borders of the areola depends on how much fat there is. ? Gynecomastia can only be reduced by ayurvedic treatment. ? Visibility depends on the grade. It may be difficult to differentiate if it is mixed gland and fat causing the swelling. Chest Fat (Pseudogynecomastia) is: ? The increased chest mass is due to deposition of fat in the area surrounding the nipples. ? The underlying matter is accumulated fat in the chest area which is soft and always painless. ? A soft lump under the the entire breast. It primarily occurs in overweight or obese person. ? Pseudogynecomastia if not severe may be reduced by diet and exercise.
