Gynecomastia and Bad Posture
Bad Posture Has Consequences
Almost all men with gynecomastia adjust their posture by slouching their shoulders and some even bend their spine to hide their pronounced breasts. Slouching and bending of the spine can have serious consequences, causing misalignment of the skeleton and muscles. Bad posture can lead to back and neck pain, arthritic joints, digestive problems and even breathing complications.
Men with bad posture make them look weak, unconfident, and insecure, affecting personal relationships, and may hamper job prospects. Over time the continuation of hunching over may shorten or lengthen bones and joints and may become permanent.
Cortisol, the “stress hormone”
In addition, bad posture may cause problems with ankles, knees, shoulders, and hips, which will lead to back pain and headaches. Eventually, there will be wear and tear of the joints and ligaments, cartilage, and lead to inflammation. If your body has chronic inflammation, it will produce more cortisol in response to the stress. The energy needed to produce more cortisol will reduce the production of testosterone.
Confidence Improves With Good Posture
When you stand straight, you feel confident, and when you feel confident, you stand straight. Similar to smiling leads to happiness and happiness leads to smiling.
Good posture allows the spine to withstand the pull of gravity and affects energy expenditure, hormone production and quality of life. Correcting posture can be difficult, but when a man has male breast reduction surgery, confidence grows, and he will want to stand tall and proud.
