Gynecomastia Treatment - Start To Eliminate Suffering From Man Boobs

By: Adolph K. Reekie

Gynecomastia treatment can vary greatly. The first factor in attempting to determine what treatment will be best is to figure out why the male has gyne or "man boobs" to begin with. Depending on if it is caused from being obese, illegal drug use, an underlying medical condition, a side effect from some medication, or genetics will all be factored in before a treatment plan can be formed. Each possible cause could require a different approach to treatment so this is an extremely critical evaluation. Ironically, 75% of all cases of adult gynecomastia are actually idiopathic, meaning there is no reason for it and it is harmless, yet very embarrassing.
Having said that, what is left is about 25% who have a medical issue causing their gynecomastia. This medical reason could be prescribed medication that is giving side effects and for the record, there are over 36 medications that can cause man boobs as a side effect. That could be one cause and the treatment would simply be to change medications. If the cause is because of the misuse of illegal drugs, then it would be advisable to stop using them. If a serious medical condition is the cause, then that is a separate issue entirely. There will have to be tests ran and diagnoses made. Once this has all taken place and the condition is under control then the male can decide which avenue he wishes to pursue if his breasts are still enlarged.
Determining the correct and most effective treatment is based entirely on the root cause. The doctor will want to know exactly how long this condition has been apparent and if there are any signs of swelling, tenderness, or pain, in which case it no longer becomes an option of if you want to deal with the treatment but rather when. If the cause of your gynecomastia is due to obesity then the facts are that you have to go on a diet. Diet and exercises that focus on the upper torso are the only treatment that you will be able to rely on. Both diet and exercise are going to have to be stringent and regular. It is evident that a combination of cardio and weight training seem to be the most effective program. As the routine continues, the enlarged breasts will decrease but you should know that this is going to take a while to complete and even after, regular maintenance will be necessary or the gynecomastia will return.
Cosmetic surgery is an option if you have the means to do so. Although some health insurance companies will cover this surgery if it because of a medical condition, but most often, they will not. The size of the breasts will determine if a simple liposuction can be performed or if it will also require a procedure that is similar to a mastectomy. Knowing these facts can help better determine the exact cost of the surgical procedure which ranges from $3,000-$5,000.
One solution that does not involve surgery and is a fraction of the cost, is the Chest Coach System of losing chest fat. The system is put together by a former man boobs sufferer and can be a cost effective solution. Natural means of treating man boobs may take more time to see results, but natural treatments should be seeked out first before opting for surgery. The main reason is that by changing your habits and ridding your man boobs naturally with a system similar to the one mentioned above, you are less likely to have your gynecomastia return, since you're habits have changed for the better. The quick fix of surgery may reduce your man boobs, but it can always return if you keep up with the same bad habits you had before.
