Yes. Medications, anabolic steroids, testosterone supplements, marijuana, and some herbal products can
contribute to gynecomastia.

This does not mean every case is medication-related. Many men develop gynecomastia without a clear
cause. But reviewing medications and supplements is still important.

Why this matters before surgery

If a medication or substance is causing breast enlargement, stopping or changing it may help. That decision
should be made with the prescribing physician, not on your own.

If anabolic steroids or certain hormone products are involved, the gynecomastia may persist even after
stopping them, especially if firm gland tissue has been present for a long time.
