Hi,
Thank you for consulting HealthcareMagic!
There are some other treatments which use medications like selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERM), Testosterone replacement or by its derivatives, Clomiphene and some anti-estrogen medication. However, treatment varies depending on the cause. Most people ultimately require surgical correction.
