Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Mildly enlarged breasts in males is called gynaecomastia. It can happen due to some drug intake, prolonged use of alcohol, liver disease, hormonal imbalances, etc. All these causes need to be ruled out with the help of a physician and proper investigations.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
