Many of the websites on gynecomastia have mistakes as to what it really is. I am writing this article in order to correct the most common mistakes.
Gynecomastia is a condition where men develop breast tissue, and actually have male breasts. This is mainly seen in boys before puberty, but there are many cases of adult gynecomastia as well.
Because pseudogynecomastia has the same effect as gynecomastia many people think that it is caused by the same thing. However, they are entirely different conditions. Pseudogynecomastia is caused by a buildup of fat in the chest and gives the appearance of having man boobs.
Because the causes of the conditions are different the way that they can be treated are 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.
A professional doctor should be consulted by men with gynecomastia so they can discuss the best treatment options for their particular case. If surgery is the best option, then it is advisable that you find a quality plastic surgeon that is experienced in male breast reduction surgery. Do a search on You Tube for “male breast reduction surgery” and there are some very helpful videos for you to watch.
Guys who have pseudogynecomastia should seek to find a suitable weight loss program that fits in with their life style as well as maximizes fat burning. There have been a few programs developed for the sole purpose of helping men get rid of their pseudogynecomastia, just do a search for “Man Boobs Solutions” on Google and you will get some good results.
Gynecomastia and Pseudogynecomastia are similar in their side affects but their treatments are entirely different. I hope that I have helped make that known in this article and their will not be any more misconceptions about these two diseases affecting thousands of men out there.
