How To Get Rid Of Man Boobs - What To Avoid And What To Use
Tom Valian
Gynecomastia (also known as man boobs or male breasts) is a very common problem these days. Poorly understood, and highly traumatizing, male breasts is increasingly common in men between ages of 15 to 24.
The medical field has yet to offer a good and safe treatment for gynecomastia, even though it is extremely common. Yet, there has been a lot of hope offered by alternative treatment options for gynecomastia. Proper treatment of gynecomastia can only begin once the causes behind it are correctly understood.
Causes of Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia is often associated with a fatty diet. However, the real cause behind gynecomastia is more than just junk food and pop. While excessive fat could possibly result in 'fat deposits', there are many healthy men who still experience an increase in fat deposits making it appear that they have male breasts.
In most cases, the real issue behind man boobs is actually a lack of proper hormone levels. This hormonal imbalance is usually found in men with little to no exercise, and an overall poor diet. Therefore, though it may appear that excess fat is the culprit, this is false.
Symptoms of Man Boobs
As the terms man boobs and males breasts signify gynecomastia is marked as the condition where a man with little to no medical problems develops fat deposits under the breasts, especially under and around the nipples, giving it the appearance of feminine breasts.
While the fatty male breasts often coincide with fat content elsewhere on the body, in many cases the breasts are dis-proportionally large, resulting in widespread derision and distress.
Gynecomastia Treatment
There have been quite a few gynecomastia treatment options offered, most of which are ineffective and even counter-effective:
1. Surgery - This is surprisingly common. The fat/tissue build-up underneath the breasts are removed after surgically cutting through the upper layers of skin and muscle. While this may have an immediate effect, this does not really treat the condition fully.
Additionally, the danger of permanent scar tissue developing underneath (which means permanent man boobs) makes this a poor choice. This procedure, as expected, is very expensive, and carries secondary risks, like all surgeries.
2. Prescription Drugs and Medication - Though these are often prescribed, their effectiveness is yet to be proven. Additionally, the side effects and high costs make this an unattractive option for a man suffering from gynecomastia.
3. Condition Maskers - This category houses anything that doesn't actually cure man boobs, but gives a superficial impression of being free of gynecomastia.
A good example of a masker is the gynecomastia vest, which works in a manner very similar to a corssette. However, this can be even more embarrassing, since taking off the shirt and vest at a beach suddenly reveals the man boobs you 'didn't have before'.
4. Exercises for getting rid of man boobs - While these work, they take a long time, and need to be persistently and knowledgeably followed. Additionally, this is not immediately effective in treating issues stemming from hormonal imbalance and cannot directly help since it only builds more muscle over time.
The best treatment option is to learn how to apply a treatment system that combines the right supplements with the right exercises in a plan that effectively and quickly helps overcome gynecomastia.
