I have gynaecomastia and got conflicting advice my homeopathic doctor says it can be cured with medicine but the cosmetic surgeon insists surgery is the only option. Can homeopathy really reduce male breast tissue and if so how long would it take? I'm getting married in a year and want to know if it's possible without surgery

While homeopathic medicine may be used for gynecomastia, it's crucial to understand that its effectiveness is not scientifically proven and may vary significantly. Surgery is generally considered the most effective and reliable treatment for gynecomastia

I'm 26 years old and have been dealing with gynaecomastia since 2012. I tried some homeopathic remedies like Reckweg R19, R41, and Testis Siccati on the advice of a homeopath, but they didnt help.
