The first step is to check the medications currently being taken, and see if gynecomastia is a side effect. Discussing man boobs as a possible medication side effect with a doctor or pharmacist may rule this out, or a different medication may be tried.

Estrogen receptor modulators such as tamoxifen and clomiphene are two possible drug treatments of gynecomastia. Treating the endocrine system, also known as “hormone therapy” may be effective, but only if started early enough. Three years is considered the maximum window for hormone therapy. Beyond this, the patient’s only option may be surgery.

Liposuction, mammary gland removal, skin sculpture and breast reduction surgery are the surgical alternatives. Infection, scarring and anasthesia complications are all risks with any surgical procedure.

Garments with compress the man boobs can reduce their appearance, giving the patient more self confidence. Although these garments give the wearer self confidence they do not treat the unerlying cause of the problem.

Estrogen receptor modulators such as tamoxifen and clomiphene are two possible drug treatments of gynecomastia. Endocrine (hormone) therapy is a good option as long as the patient acts quickly. If the two to three year window is missed, surgery may be the only option.

Surgery choice would be fat cell removal (liposuction), reduction mammoplasty (breast reduction), skin sculpture or gland excision (removal of mammary gland. As with any surgery, scarring, infection and anasthesia complications are risks that need to be weighed.

The first thing that should be done when treating gynecomastia is to determine if it is a medication that is causing it. If so, the patient should discuss this with their doctor so the can possibly be put on a different medication to avoid the breast-swelling side effect.

There are medical treatment options such as tamoxifen and clomiphene, which are estrogen receptor modulators. Hormone therapy (treating the endocrine system) may help, but there is a window of time in which this can be applied. If the window is missed (typically two to three years) the breast tissue may harden, leaving surgery the only option.

Several surgical techniques exist to treat gynecomastia, such as liposuction (removal of fat cells), breast reduction (reduction mammoplasty), gland excision (removal of the mammary gland), and skin sculpture. As with any surgical procedure, the patient runs the risks of infection, anasthesia complications and scarring.

Compression garments can provide emotional relief by reducing the appearance and bouncing of the enlarged breast tissue. This of course doesn’t actually treat the problem, but treats the symptom and may be acceptible for those who do not want to remove their shirts in public, or whose gynecomastia are still small.

Certain diseases of different organs can increase estrogen production or decrease testosterone levels to the point where breasts form. These include testicular tumors, hyperthyroidism (increase in the thyroid), obesity and liver problems. Liver problems can decrease the amount of estrogen removed from the body (estrogen clearing) so there is more present.

Finally, there are genetic (congenital) or acquired (environmental) issues that can cause decreases in testosterone production (usually in the form of damage or failure of the testicles.) As stated above, anabolic steroid abuse can also be a cause.
