How to Find Effective Gynecomastia Treatment

Getting proper gynecomastia treatment can help make the difference between feeling confident taking your shirt off in public and being self-conscious in your own skin.

There are a number of bogus treatments on the internet pawning cures for male gynecomastia (gyno, man boobs, male breasts, and bitch tits).

Most of them involve special exercise programs, herbs and supplements, and other faulty advice.

There are only three treatment options which have been deemed effective by the American Medical Association.

Only one treatment if your gynecomastia has been long standing.

Approved Treatments for Gynecomastia

1. Gynecomastia surgery for long standing cases.
2. Aromatase Inhibitors to reduce estrogen for newly developed gynecomastia.
3. Prolactin Inhibitors to reduce the hormone prolactin in new cases.

Gynecomastia Surgery

To remove long standing hardened mammary gland tissue, gynecomastia surgery is your only option. Diet, exercise, medications, and supplements unfortunately will not shrink glandular breast tissue, only the surrounding fat.

Aromatase Inhibitors and Gynecomastia

If the mammary gland tissue started growing recently (within a month) a blitz of anti-estrogens like Arimidex (Anastrozole), Aromasin (Exemestane), or Letrozole (Femara) can shrink the glandular tissue back to it's original size.

Prolactin Inhibitors and Gynecomastia

If your gynecomastia is from high prolactin levels from certain medications or a pituitary tumor, dopamine agonist medications like Cabergoline (Dostinex, Cabaser), and Pramipexole (Mirapex) can reduce male breast size if caught early.

Both anti-estrogens and dopamine agonists are good preventative measures if you're expecting increased levels caused from anabolic steroids, marijuana, alcohol, antipsychotics or other medications.
