I've been struggling with gynaecomastia for a while now and tried everything from dieting to gym workouts and running, but nothing seems to work. Is there any way to fix this without going through surgery?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
it is possible to decrease the breast prominence by a weight-loss and exercise program as a first-line treatment. Frequently, recurrence in patients affected by gynecomastia results from an imbalance between estradiol and testosterone, and such cases can resolve without surgical intervention.

Can gynecomastia be treated without surgery and does it really cause infertility in men who have it
Gynecomastia, or enlarged male breast tissue, can sometimes be treated without surgery, particularly in cases of mild or early-stage gynecomastia, or when it's caused by excess body fat (pseudogynecomastia). However, more severe or glandular-based gynecomastia often requires surgical intervention. While gynecomastia itself doesn't directly cause infertility, a hormonal imbalance that contributes to gynecomastia can sometimes also affect fertility.
