Is there any way to treat gynecomastia without surgery? I've been doing exercises but they don't seem to help at all. Can it go away on its own or do I need medical intervention?

Yes, there are non-surgical treatments for gynecomastia, and exercise alone may not be enough to significantly reduce breast tissue. While exercise can help reduce overall body fat and build chest muscles, it might not address the glandular tissue itself. Medications, hormone therapy, and procedures like cryolipolysis or ultrasound therapy can also be effective. Some cases of gynecomastia, especially those caused by hormonal imbalances or puberty, may also resolve on their own over time
