Abstract:
In order to study the relationship between sex hormone and gynecomastia, the levels of plasma sex hormone in the male patients with gynecomastic were determined by using radioactive immune assay. Seventy-eight gynecomastic patients were regarded as the experimental group which was divided into 3 subgroups: the youth group with the age ≤30 years old, the middle-aged group with the age ranging from 30 to 60 years old and the old-aged group with the age ≥60 years old in the light of age and 24 normal men served as control group. The results showed that the levels of E2 and E2/T in the gynecomastia patients were much higher than in the control group (P<0.05, 0.01)；In the experimental group, the ratio of T reduction in the old-aged group was much higher than in the youth group or the middle-aged group（P<0.05). In conclusion, gynecomastia was related to the dysfunction of the level of sex hormone, to a large extent, with the increasing of estrogen. In addition, senile gynecomasti was closely related with the decreasing of male hormone.
