What is Gynecomastia?
Dupuytren’s Contracture is a progressive condition that affects the connective tissue beneath the skin of the palm and fingers. Over time, this tissue thickens and tightens, causing the fingers (usually the ring and little fingers) to bend inward toward the palm. This can make everyday tasks, like shaking hands or putting your hand in your pocket, difficult.
What causes it:
Genetics / Family History – A strong hereditary link increases the risk.
Age – Most common in people over 50.
Gender – Men are more frequently affected than women.
Ancestry – More common in people of Northern European descent.
Health Conditions – Associated with diabetes, epilepsy, and alcohol use.
Symptoms:
Thickened, firm nodules in the palm of the hand
Tightening cords of tissue pulling fingers toward the palm
Difficulty straightening the affected fingers
Gradual worsening over months or years
Reduced hand function in daily activities
