Why people ( men) with liver cirrhosis have gynecomastia compare with women that have breast atrophy ?
Top rated comment
The liver is responsible for breaking down the small amounts of estrogen naturally found in biologically male individuals in order to render it inactive. Dysfunction of the liver prevents this process from occurring, allowing the excess estrogen to stimulate the growth of breast tissue.
@Bright or that the new androgen levels are more important than the oestrogen excess.

estrogen is not limited( broken down )by liver to proper amount , hence resulting into increased level of estrogen which causes gynecomastia
