Is gynecomastia surgery the only solution for even early symptoms of the disorder? do we have any medications to reduce the chest fat at an early stage?

#

Hi Having increased fat in the chest region making it appear like breasts is a common and natural phenomenon in young males. It is because of the hormonal changes the body undergoes during adolescence. Moreover, it is not permanent and the changes return to normal with age. Not all ppl need surgery as the condition is self responding. Kindly mention if other secondary sexual characters are normal, such as beard, moustache, axilla and pubic hair. Let us know if ur on any other medication, including homeo or native medication. Also let us know if it's only the tissue under the nipple that is increased or the whole breast. This can even be managed without surgery.
