Suffering From Gynecomastia Since Pre-teen. How To Remove Extra Breast Tissue Without Surgery?
I have had gynecomastia since i was pre-teen. i am currently 30 still suffering with it. I have done diets and lost substantial amount of weight but the chest does not seem to go away. Should i see a general phys. or a specialist to treat the extra breast tissue without getting surgery? What type of medication treats this?
Hi.. Thanks for the query.. Gynecomastia can be pubertal which regresses on its own or due to hormonal imbalances or side effects of some drugs.. You can use some hormonal supplements (androgens) initially. Surgery would be the final option if the medical treatment doesn't reduce the size.. You can consult an endocrinologist/surgeon... Hope I helped with my answer.. Will be available for further queries...
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The extra breast tissue is seen due to hormonal issues or liver problems. If the organic problems have been ruled out after proper investigations, then surgical removal is the only way to reduce the size. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.

Sorry to hear about your problem. If the gynecomastia is persisting for so long, it will not respond to any medications and will have to be surgically removed. Surgery for this condition is a minor procedure and can be done as a day care procedure.
Hoping for the best.
