Muscle Building And Gynecomastia

By: Tom Valian

Gynecomastia (or man boobs/male breasts) has increased in occurrence over the last decade. Highly traumatic, yet poorly understood, gynecomastia is extremely common in men aged 15-24. Even though it is extremely common, there is still no good treatment for gynecomastia in the medical field. However, all is not without hope, as there are many other very effective treatment options available. Of course, the key to treating gynecomastia is to understand the condition and the causes behind it.

What Causes Man Boobs?

Usually, a fatty diet is blamed as the source of gynecomastia. The often missed, but important factor behind man boobs involves more than just a fat-laden diet. While increased amounts of fat could possibly result in 'fat deposits', there are many men who are not over-weight who still gain fat around their nipples making it look like they have gynecomastia. In most cases, the most important factor resulting in in male breasts is a disturbance in the hormone levels. This hormonal imbalance is usually found in men with little to no exercise, and an overall poor diet. It makes sense then that, though it may appear that excess fat is the culprit, this is false.

Man Boob Symptoms

As phrases such as man boobs or male breasts would indicate, gynecomastia is marked as the condition where a man with little to no medical problems experiences an increasing amount of fat deposits under the breasts specifically around the nipples, making it look like female-breasts. While the fatty male breasts often coincide with fat content elsewhere on the body, in more than a few cases, they may be much larger than is proportional, which can be a reason for widespread derision and distress.

How To Treat Gynecomastia

There have been quite a few gynecomastia treatment options offered, a large percentage of which are actually counter-productive:

1. Surgery - This option is used by many men who have very little hope left. Permissible amounts of fat are surgically removed after surgically opening the breasts. While this may have an immediate effect, in the long tun, it may or may not be effective. Secondly, there is a danger of permanent scar tissue developing under the chest (which may result in permanent male breasts) makes this a poor choice. This procedure, as expected, is very expensive, and carries secondary risks, like all surgeries.

2. Prescription Drugs - These are often prescribed even though their effectiveness is widely disputed. On top of this, these drugs are expensive, and can possible cause severe side-effects, and are therefore not recommended.

3. Maskers - This category is comprised of everything that doesn't actually cure man boobs, but gives a superficial impression of being free of gynecomastia. An example would be man boob vests that are designed to compress the breasts so they are not visible. 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 gynecomastia - While these work, they take a long time, and need to be persistently and knowledgeably followed. Additionally, this will not directly be able to treat the issues resulting from excessive hormonal imbalance and cannot really take away the fat being deposited in the chest.

The ideal treatment is to apply a treatment system that makes use of the right supplements, the right exercises, and the right diet corrections in an organized plan that effectively helps cure man boobs.
