How To Get Rid Of Man Boobs - Man Boobs Explained

By Frank T. Boatman

How to get rid of man boobs. In this article we will have a look at what man boobs are, and a few of the best ways to get rid of them.

Of course nobody wants to have surgery. It is possible to get rid of man boobs without surgery, but there are a few conditions.

First of all, there are two basic types of male breasts (as they are called as well).

First there is gynecomastia. Typically this condition is something that occurs to young boys who just hit puberty. Because of their dropping testosterone level and their rising estrogen level they can develop man boobs.

So when this is the case, getting rid of man boobs is not about loosing weight. Guys this age are just developing mammary glands, like girls do.

This condition wil usually disappear without any need for intervention. It is a temporary stage the boy is going through.

The other type of man boobs is when there is excess fatty tissue that surrounds the chest area. It is reletively easy to get rid of this type of man boobs, compared to hardened glandular tissue.

Escess breast tissue that is fatty, will be relatively easy to decrease by your own body. Some ways to do this are by getting more exercise, eating healthier food, and getting a better hormonal profile.

Unfortunately, mammary gland tissue is not quite as easy to reduce as fat tissue. Once the hormones estrogen and prolactin have hardened the tissue too much, surgery is the only option for its removal.

In this stage it doesn't matter anymore how hard you work out, how healthy you eat, or what medicine you take to reduce your hormone levels. The tissue will stay the same.

Reducing man boobs by loosing weight can be tricky as well, because it is difficult for your body to spot reduce fat from a specific area of the body. Especially the chest area which you would have to target. In order to lose fat from your chest, it needs to be reduced in all other areas of the body as well.

This is relatively the easiest form of man boobs to get rid of, but it will still take determination and hard work. Oh, and of course healthy food as well. - 16004
