What Is The Treatment For Gynecomastia And Obesity?

Dear Doctor, I have manboobs which have destroyed my confidence level. I have heard on different forums, some people say that they can go away through proper exercises and diet. Some say that they only go away through surgery. I want to know whether i have gynacomastia or is it just fat. I am obese. Most of the fat is in my upper torso. My weight is 120kg. I am 21 years old and my height is 6ft 4 inch. Please help me. Thanks Regards, Faraz.

Hi, Faraz. The best way for you would be exercise and balanced diet to decrease your weight. Then only will there be a chance to decrease the Gynecomastia. However, the definitive treatment for it would be Surgery or Liposuction. It is most definitely fat that is collected under the chest skin. You can get this confirmed by getting examined by a Surgeon and a FNAC test. In this test, we put a needle into the lump and take out some cells to see what is growing inside.
Even if you get it operated there is always the chance that the fat will get collected again. So the best treatment would be to decrease your body fat naturally with exercise and diet restriction. Tell yourself to have no carbohydrates or fats.
Take care and all the best.
