Treatments for Man Boobs?

Question by : Treatments for man boobs?
I’m a 20 year old male who’s had an embarrassing problem since puberty (I had been fat during that period) Thinking that it’s just fat in the chest, I wasn’t really worried but my friends had been making fun of them which made me finally set a goal to loose weight two years ago. But I still haven’t gotten rid of the problem, even though I developed nice muscular pecs from all those bench presses, I still have those cursed lady-like pointy nipples and soft tissue on top of them. I still can’t take off my shirt in public and show off.
Now I did some research on it on the internet and it turns out I might have gyno which requires surgery. I don’t want to go through it because frankly I’m scared s***less from it. Does anybody know of any alternatives that would at least make my chest look a bit more masculine?

Hi, there are many many reasons a man can have symptoms of gynacomastia (or ‘man boobs’) as they are often called. For example, it can be an increase in oestrogen levels caused by hyperthyroidism, or liver disease (where the liver is not metabolising oestrogen properly). There are many more causes. You should see a doctor and he/she will work out the cause which would hopefully lead to a non-surgical solution 🙂 Don’t be embarrassed at all – doctors see way more crazy things on a daily basis 🙂 Good luck!

Gynecomastia, or “man breasts”, is a common condition for the male
population, with over 50% of all men being affected by it during some
point in their lives. There are several causes for man breasts, the
most common involving puberty. If you are between the ages of 13-18,
it is normal for you to experience an increase in the chest area which
may resemble woman’s breasts. When triggered by adolescence, this
problem will correct itself within months in approximately 90% of all
cases. However, there are some teens that will carry the burden of
enlarged breasts well into adulthood. Other than puberty, there are
many other causes of gynecomastia. These include steroid abuse,
obesity, genetic disorders, side effects of prescription medications,
and aging.
Many doctors recommend surgery for gynecomastia, but
getting the additional breast tissue removed medically isn’t the only
way to cure man boobs.
1. Natural supplements such as gynexin or
tribulus may be taken to help increase your levels of testosterone.
This will inhibit the growth of breast tissue, returning your chest
area to a normal state. These supplements should only be taken in
moderation, and under the advice of your doctor.
2. Reduce estrogen.
Avoid things that can encourage estrogen production in the body, such
as marijuana and alcohol. The key is getting rid of man breasts is to
have more testosterone present in the body than estrogen. Staying away
from things that increase the female hormone will help you with your
gynecomastia.
3. Lose Man Breasts Chest Work Out.
Pectoral exercises
can strengthen and firm the muscles in the chest. This will prevent
them from sagging, and having the appearance of man breasts. Various
incline presses can be performed to tighten and tone the chest muscles
in order to rid the area of the extra tissue. Let us get into a chest
work out that really whip you into shape!
2 key points are:
1. It is not a good idea to lift heavy weights more than 2 times a week because
we have to let the muscles rest.
2. The weight amount has to be
controlled as a power lifting workout will build a larger breasts for
you than is necessary. The best strategy is to mix mass building
exercises with isolation exercises and do this 2 times weekly. Do not
hit only the middle of the chest, but hit the entire chest area during
your exercises. This is because it may enhance your man breasts
instead. The traditional supine bench press works the middle of the
chest quite well, but if you do not work the upper and lower chest,
you will not have a completely developed upper body. Also, if you do
not perform isolation exercises, you will not develop the defined look
you are seeking. Check out a sample two day workout:
Mondays
Incline Chest Dumbbell Press (6 – 8 reps/3 -5 sets)
Cable Crossover Pulls (15 reps/3 sets)
Supine Bench Press with Barbell (6 – 8 reps/3 – 5 sets)
Supine Chest Flyes (15 reps/2 sets)
Tuesdays
Incline Chest Bench Press with Barbell (6 – 8 reps/3 – 5 sets)
Cable Crossover Pulls (15 reps/3 sets)
Incline Chest Flyes (15 reps/2 sets)
Decline Chest Press with Dumbbells (6 – 8 reps/2 sets)
Overhead Chest Extensions (15 reps/2 sets)
This is a very basic chest work out that hits the entirety of
the chest in an effective manner to get rid of man boobs or
gynecomastia.
