Guest guest Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 First off, your definition of gynecomastia is not correct. By the roots of the words themselves, gynecomastia refers to the development of male BREAST TISSUE an not fat deposits in the male breast/chest area. Simple fat deposits around the male areola is more accurately called psyuedo gynecomastia, and it can be removed via liosuction. Loosing weight will often help. Some use andractim to help treat general puffiness of the male nipples. True gynecomastia requires actual breast tissue development, and once glandular development and duct development has taken place, you can not reverse it. Surgery is your only option to truly get rid of true gynecomastia and this is more involved that just sucking out fat. The actual glandular tissue has to be removed, and if this is not done right, the man is left with indentions in the nipple area and deformed nipples. Gynecomastia is caused by excess amounts of estradiol that end up locking into the receptors in male breast tissue, and prolactin can contribute to gynecomastia as well. Low T by itself does not cause gynecomastia. Rather it is a higer E(excess estrogen in the male body) to T ratio than is appropriate for the male system. Once the T to E ratio has been rectified and proper T levels have been maintained the feminine like fat deposits caused by male hypgonadism usually start to correct themselves. However, in my case as like many other men it has taken more time than i would like it to, and the results are slow and subtle in deveoping. > > It seems a common perception that gyne can be reduced by increasing > anti estrogen supplements like DIMM or Arimidex.

Not a good idea. Please help stamp out dangerous myths. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
