Gynecomastia – Man Boobs
Gynecomastia, also commonly known as ‘man boobs’ is a condition where males develop what look like female breasts.
They can be small or very large. But what causes this embarrassing problem?
Some of the causes include:
- Genetics
- Being overweight
- Hormone imbalance
- Certain medications
Unfortunately most men don’t find out the cause of their problem. What you should instead aim to do is to fix it as soon as possible.
If you are a teenager who has man boobs but you are not overweight, then there is a chance they will recede or disappear on their own.
Which Medications Can Bring on Man Boobs?
It is believed that some medicines can cause gynecomastia. These include antibiotics, anti-anxiety medicines, heart medications, AIDS medicines and some others include some medications that are used to treat prostate problems.
Speak to your doctor if you think your man boobs are being caused by your current or past medical treatment.
Man Boobs Books
There are not many books written about gynecomastia but I’ve managed to track down a few. The first is a physical softcover book, available at Amazon called Demystifying Gynecomastia: Men with Breasts by Merle James Yost.
I will be writing a full review of this book soon.
Lose Your Man Boobs is a digital book that goes into more detail than the above book on actually solving the problem, rather than living with it. I will also be writing a full review on this book shortly so stay tuned.
