There are many site on the net today that talk about a condition called gynecomastia, but many of them have it wrong. In order to clear up the confusion I decided to write this article.
The condition of gynecomastia cause men to grow actual breast tissue and that causes them to develop man boobs. It is most common in young boys ages 8 – 14, but adult cases of gynecomastia are becoming more frequent.
Gynecomastia has the same end result as pseudogynecomastia, and many folks believe it can be treated the same way. Unfortunately, that is a false assumption because pseudogynecomastia is causes by the buildup of fatty tissue in the chest area that gives the appearance of having breasts.
The ways these two conditions are treated are entirely different as well.
Gynecomastia in younger boys ages 8 – 14 normally goes away naturally once puberty sets in. It is a different story for adult men, because the only way to treat the gynecomastia is with hormones or male breast reduction surgery.
Pseudogynecomastia is much simpler, because the treatment for boys and adult men are exactly the same, exercise and weight loss. Because the pseudogynecomastia is caused by a fatty build up in the chest, the appearance of man boobs are generally reduced with the reduction in weight and build up of muscle.
Adult men with gynecomastia should seek a professional doctor to advise them on the best treatment for their condition. If surgery is the only option then you want to find a quality plastic surgeon to perform the procedure. Do a search for male breast reduction surgery on You Tube and you will find some very helpful videos.
For men and boys with pseudogynecomastia it is best that you find a good weight loss program that focuses on both weight loss and building muscle. If you do a search for “man boobs solutions” on Google you will get some good results to get you started.
