Best Ways To Get Rid Of Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia is a condition where a masculine chest can overgrow to resemble a traditionally female one. This can cause distress for men with the condition, especially when it lasts into adulthood or interferes with everyday life. Depending on the cause of gynecomastia, the age of the patient, and other factors, there are multiple ways to address gynecomastia. Here are 3 of the best ways to get rid of gynecomastia.
1: Weight Loss
Weight gain–whether it caused the condition or worsened it–can be a factor in gynecomastia. Losing weight usually does somewhat reduce the appearance of gynecomastia, though it may not completely cure it. However, it certainly does not hurt if the patient has weight to lose.
2: Time
Gynecomastia commonly occurs in young men and boys going through puberty. The increase of hormones can temporarily create the appearance of an enlarged chest. Normally, after a few years, this should settle. Additionally, some gynecomastia, regardless of age, does go away with time. Regardless, time is important in any treatment for gynecomastia.
3: Surgery
Unless due to another medical condition that can be treated (and even sometimes then), the best and most effective treatment for gynecomastia is surgery. Male breast reduction surgery removes the extra skin and tissue and creates a masculine chest. It is generally recommended to adult men who have tried other treatments and have confirmed that there is no other medical basis for the condition.
