Take Your Man Boobs In Your Own Hands!

By Dustin Fennell

Gynecomastia is very common. It is seen most often in boys going through puberty or men going from middle age to old age. It is not known for certain what causes it or why some men are affected when others aren't, but is is a hormonal problem that can be easily fixable depending on the severity of the condition. So what is this condition and how do you know if you have it?

You may think you have man boobs, but it could really be your breast tissue having a strong response to hormones if your body is undergoing a change. Your tissue and glands will swell and make it look like you have breasts. Though it is not an easy condition for men to live with, it is understandable why it happens when one's body is going under so much hormonal change and stress.

All people have 'male' and 'female' hormones, testosterone and estrogen. Men have more of one, women have more of the other. But sometimes large bodily changes can make the one of the lesser amount come to the foreground and make its presence known. Teenage girls can undergo masculine problems like unwanted hair just like men can go through this.

Not all enlarged pectorals are a result of this condition, though. Some men are over-weight and this is reflected in their whole body, including their breasts. But men can suffer from both of these conditions. So how can you tell which one you have?

If you actually have the medical problem, your pectoral area can be sensitive, since the tissue is growing rapidly and unnaturally. This happens to young girls when they get breasts and when pregnant women's breasts begin to expand. Your nipples can be exceedingly puffy, which is another indicator. And if you are self-conscious about your weight and have been working out but nothing is changing in that area, then it is probably not an issue solved by exercise.

While 'man boobs' are merely fat deposits in over-weight men, gynecomastia is a glandular issue. So if your breast tissue is out of proportion with the rest of your physique or if you lose weight yet the man boobs remain, you probably have gynecomastia.

There are many different kinds, too. Some can be extremely severe, some can affect only one pectoral, and some can affect only the nipples. It can be a common problem for body builders and steroid users, since it stimulates muscle growth. Men who have been body builders but have since let their muscle start to go away probably do not have gynecomastia. Though disproportionately large or saggy breast tissue in a man is usually an indicator of this problem, your pectorals may look that way naturally if you let your muscle go slack. Hitting the gym and doing exercises to tighten up that slack muscle and make you leaner is the only way to get rid of it.

Treatments, just like the condition, can be light or severe. There are many different options to fit the conditions. The most average one is light hormone therapy and different medications subscribed by your doctor. Some even use radiation. Liposuction is for the chronic, hard-core patients who are unaffected by hormone therapy. This can be very expensive and usually it does not just stop with liposuction; body re-shaping and scar management often follow. - 17268
