While you don’t ever want to think of guys having boobs, it’s a more common affliction despite being so unfortunate. The proper medical name for the condition is called male gynecomastia, which means the growth of breast tissue in men. Even though it’s embarrassing and unsightly, it won’t kill you, however it could possibly mean that you have a genetic abnormality. Don’t panic, though—this could also be the result of a medication that you’re taking, or a metabolic disorder.
Male Gynecomastia can be a lot to deal with, but it’s usually treated as a superficial condition that doesn’t have any risk on your health. Even though it can be depressing and emotionally debilitating, chances are that you’re not going to suffer health risks or any additional effects to your health. Still, you’re probably going to want to get it fixed if you possibly can, due to the psychological effects that it can have on you, your self-confidence, and your social life. Just like with other types of abnormality, there are a variety of ways that male gynecomastia can be addressed. Treatment without surgery is preferable by most people, as it’s less invasive. However, treatment without surgery can also be less effective. Today, we’re going to talk about some of the best ways to get rid of man boobs.
Ways to Treat Male Gynecomastia
Increase Your Fitness Level
Taking up a new fitness routine and learning to exercise. Just like you’ve probably read about target exercises, there are certain exercises that you can learn to get rid of your man boobs. You could always look into joining a hi-tech gym or hiring a personal trainer, and ask them for any advice. A personal trainer could be a great asset to you, and he may recommend some of the following exercises:
- Different types of interval training. This involves alternating between intense bursts of cardio with exercises that are less intense but not as quickly effective. Alternating between the two keeps your metabolism on edge, and can really make a difference with your male gynecomastia!
- Push-ups. Remember these from elementary school? They’ll do a lot to help tighten your chest and reduce its size. Drop and give me twenty!
- Incline press with dumbbells. This can also lift up some of your chest fat, and combine with push-ups to get the maximum results.
- Seated row. This will start to work on your pectoral muscles, which can also give the appearance of a lifted chest.
Mild cases of male gynecomastia are best treated with exercise, so now would be a great time to develop a routine and stick with it.
Diet
Since breast tissue is made of lipids, or fats, you should definitely cut back on fat and dairy consumption. If you’re already overweight (which can be a cause for man boobs all by itself!) you should consider going on a low-fat diet to help your body burn some excess calories. If you’re already prudent enough to consider firming creams or lotions, try combining those efforts with a low-fat diet for even more noticeable results. Most people find that the low fat diet is easier. However, if you want to see faster results, I would recommend eating extremely low carb!
Surgery: is it a good idea?
As we mentioned above, surgery is usually a last resort for those with man boobs. It’s costly, painful, and you’re not likely to be covered by insurance since gynecomastia is a cosmetic condition. It’s not really a sensible option, and you hopefully will be able to get rid of your man boobs using natural methods.
But, if there’s anyone out there dreading an upcoming class reunion or who can’t find the time to get to the gym, you may have to consider surgery. It can be horrifying, but it’s a guaranteed way of getting rid of your man boobs forever. If you’ve been under treatment for more than a year with no sigh of improvement, you may have chronic male gynecomastia that requires removal of the breast tissue itself.
Please do your research! This article is meant to tell you about natural, non-invasive ways to get rid of your man boobs. We’re not experts on surgery, and you should do a lot of research, consultations, and interviews before you choose a surgeon. Even though it may be tempting to find someone cheap, remember that there’s no price on your health.
A final word: if you’re not desperate to remove your man boobs right away and you don’t have chronic gynecomastia, please consider using other methods! We’ll be detailing more methods right before, so you don’t even need to leave the page.
Creams
What about creams? Topical creams another popular treatment idea for man boobs, and maybe something you want to consider if diet and exercise alone haven’t done anything for you. Another bonus of creams? They’re generally pretty inexpensive, at least compared to the cost of a personal trainer or surgery. Plus, they’re non invasive, and you can apply them yourself. You can take the cream with you and even put it on in the bathroom at work or the gym if necessary, and no one will be the wiser to your situation. Plus, if you need more, you can just pick up more from a pharmacy (or shop online)!
Obviously, you’re not going to see results right away, and it can be frustrating to feel like you’re wasting money on an inferior product. Your skin isn’t going to absorb every single ingredient in the cream, so it’s important to keep using it on a regular basis. One of the best creams on the market is called Gynexol, and it’s formulated to shrink the fat cells around your man boobs. So far, there are no reported side effects with its usage. It contains aloe vera juice along with other, natural ingredients such as retinol and ginkgo, plus it’s approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of gynecomastia. Now, let’s look at some pros and cons of this particular method.
- Pros:
- Very easy to use! Since it’s available online or in pharmacies, treating your man boobs is less of a problem than ever before.
- Very easy to apply! Just rub it in, anywhere you are. You can even carry the cream around with you if you’re traveling or heading to the gym.
- Cons:
- Not very impressive results. Topical creams often claim to fix you in a few weeks, but chances are that you’re not going to see results that fast. In fact, most creams don’t live up to the hype. Like we said above, there’s sometimes an issue with ingredients not being absorbed by the skin. This can be problematic; you’re paying for those ingredients, too! Skin absorption is not an ideal mode of drug delivery though, so you’ll just have to lower your expectations.
Pills for Man Boob Reduction.
Just like you’ve maybe seen pills that supposedly increase breast size in women, there are those that claim to reduce breast size in men. Gynecomastia pills are really popular, and it’s easy to understand why. It’s incredibly easy to use them—just pop a pill. There’s no exercise, diet, or messy cream involved. Plus, when compared to other non-invasive methods, you’re likely to see better results. The active ingredients are consumed and broken down by your body (not your skin) and you’re more likely to absorb more of the medicine itself.
For those of you interested in taking pills instead of using a cream, there’s a pill called Gynexin, which works pretty well. It has a 99% success rate in treating gynecomastia, isn’t that amazing? It has ingredients such as green tea, caffeine, cacao, and scaleorides. In fact, you’d notice many similar ingredients to a weight-loss pill. Gynexin is formulated to reduce the size of your man boobs as well as the number of fat cells present in the breast tissue. Taking two pills a day, you’ll notice results in just a few weeks.
Gynexin has a huge fan base, and if you try for yourself, you’ll start to see why. There are dozens of testimonials and information that you can peruse before deciding to pick up a bottle. Most people are incredibly pleased because their man boobs have almost completely disappeared, with no need for surgery, and at just a portion of what surgery would cost.
Now, let’s take a look at some individual pros and cons.
- Pros:
- Like the creams, gynecomastia pills are incredibly easy to use. All you have to do is eat a pill or two a day, and then you’ll see results. Definitely check to make sure that the pills you decide on have little to no side effects (or side effects that wouldn’t bother you) and make sure the ingredients are safe and proven to be effective. Definitely don’t purchase anything not approved by the FDA, and don’t abuse the instructions, either. Eating a whole bottle of pills isn’t going to help you any more quickly than eating the recommended dose.
- Pills are even cheaper that creams! Based on price scale examples, it’s much more inexpensive (and less messy) to purchase man boob reduction pills. Most products will last you a month or two per bottle, so you don’t need to replenish very often, either. You’ll find that these products (if you get a good one) will be more than worth their money.
- Cons:
- As we mentioned above, not all brands of man boob pills are created equal. You’ll find that some products are much less effective than their counterparts, and usually price doesn’t have a lot to do with efficacy. Your best bet is to read trusted reviews or talk to a doctor. Don’t fall for anything that sounds too good to be true—it probably is!
You should also know that you’re going to find two different types of medication available to reduce your man boobs. Natural and prescription medication may sound similar, but unfortunately natural products aren’t going to do as much for you as prescription products will. However there are natural pills that can give you amazing results. Gynexin, for example, is a natural treatment. We talked about it a little above, and you should know that it’s known to provide extremely accurate results. Plus, herbal pills don’t have many side effects or other drug interactions. You’re going to be much more safe with those.
So why else should you think about choosing herbal pills for gynecomastia reduction? Besides safety, which we mentioned above, sometimes herbal supplements work better with our body chemistry. We’re often more susceptible to natural components as opposed to pharmaceutical ones, and since natural pills are proven to work, why not try them first? If you don’t see any results, think about trying another kind of natural pill before you go prescription. It could really pay off!
Choosing Your Products
By now, you should be aware of quite a few options to get rid of your man boobs. You have more than a few options to pick from, and if you really want to target everything way, it’s best to combine a low-fat diet or low carb diet with a tough exercise plan and either a cream or a proven supplement. You don’t even need to go to the doctor; in most cases, you’ll be able to treat this on your own! Like we talked about, gynecomastia treatment without surgery is totally possible, and it’s estimated that most cases of man boobs are safely treated at home, over the counter. However since not all solutions work in the same capacity, you’ll need to do some careful research to make sure you’re buying a quality product. It’s not always easy to spot the products making false claims, either. So be sure to do your research and read real customer testimonials, not those by people who were paid to sample a product.
Remember, even though having man boobs is no fun, it’s easy to get rid of them. Trust us and try these methods, and you’ll be feeling more confident than ever before!
