Gynecomastia is als known as "man boobs" or "male breasts". It is usually not caused by genetic factors, but by a hormonal imbalance: the male hormones, known as androgens, are considerably low compared to the number of female hormones, the estrogens. This can happen during puberty; when you reach your twenties, some hormones will reach peak levels while others are lowering. In almost all cases the hormone levels will naturally return to normal levels after a while.
Research have shown that drug abuse can cause gynecomastia. Skin care products, such as tea tree oil and lavender oil, are also linked to man boobs. A medical treatment can also cause a hormonal imbalance leading to gynecomastia, such as treatments for prostate cancer, medication for high blood pressure, and some antibiotics.
When you get gynecomastia, it is important to see your doctor to find out what is causing it, because it might be a medical condition. Most of the time, both sides will be affected, although it can happen on one side only, and the size can be different too. Although man boobs are not painful, the area can be sensitive or delicate. There is one important point: Men who have gynecomastia have a higher risk to develop male breast cancer.
Surgery, such as liposuction, has been used effectively to treat man boobs but can cost you thousands of dollars. Most insurance companies are not going to cover surgery because it is considered to be a cosmetic surgery. Although surgery is very safe, there is always a risk of an infection or bleeding. Medication has also proved to work well to get rid of man boobs, but there may be side effects depending on the kind of medication that is used.
A diet or exercise is not the way to get rid of your man boobs. It can be done but not with the normal methods (to lose weight). It is important to balance your hormones and know what medication not to take, because some medication have hormone changing abilities. As man boobs are mostly caused by a hormonal imbalance, you also have to eat foods that will help you to promote the right hormone levels.
Exercises like bench press and squats are the best to improve your male hormone (testosterone) levels. Foods that will help to get your hormone levels at the right level, are: nuts, avocados, fish, milk yoghurt, cheese, vitamin D, olive oil and flax seed.
