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.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. If you are satisfied please proceed with closing and rating this answer.

Wish you a good health!
