gynecomastia
Let an agent explain gynecomastia at a general, factual, respectful level from medical sources, relay its common causes and course, describe the forms its aliases name, distinguish it from pseudogynecomastia, and route personal concerns to a clinician.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain gynecomastia at a general, factual, respectful level from medical sources, relay its common causes and course, describe the forms its aliases name, distinguish it from pseudogynecomastia, and route personal concerns to a clinician.
Gynecomastia is the enlargement of breast tissue in males, caused by a shift in the balance of hormones and occurring commonly in newborns, at puberty and in older age, as well as from certain conditions or medicines; the registry aliases name forms such as familial and infant gynecomastia and pseudogynecomastia. It is usually benign and often resolves on its own. This is a medical topic treated factually and respectfully, and any personal situation should be directed to a qualified clinician.
What it is for: Not applicable; a common benign condition.
It can be explain the condition generally; relay common causes and course; distinguish it from pseudogynecomastia; route personal concerns to a clinician.
