Gyneco- what???

What the Hell is Gynecomastia?

What the !?!?!?

It’s another one of those big words I see… As per Wikipedia:


Gynecomastia, is the development of abnormally large mammary glands in males resulting in breast enlargement. The term comes from the Greek γυνή gyne (stem gynaik-) meaning “woman” and μαστός mastos meaning “breast”. The condition can occur physiologically in neonates (due to female hormones from the mother; this is called witches’ milk), in adolescence, and in the elderly. In adolescent boys the condition is often a source of distress, but for the large majority of boys whose pubescent gynecomastia is not due to obesity, the breast development shrinks or disappears within a couple of years.[1] The causes of common gynecomastia remain uncertain, although it has generally been attributed to an imbalance of sex hormones or the tissue responsiveness to them; a root cause is rarely determined for individual cases. Breast prominence can result from hypertrophy of breast tissue, chest adipose tissue and skin, and is typically a combination. Breast prominence due solely to excessive adipose is often termed pseudogynecomastia[2] or sometimes lipomastia.[3]

Slang names for gynecomastia include “man boobs” and “moobs”.

Whatever the medical field wants to describe it as, I just wanted rid of it. And that’s all we are focused on.

Lose the Man Boobs – Learning Why then How

No amount of exercising or dieting could ever help you in making your man boobs disappear unless you truly understand what is causing you to have man boobs.

The actual condition which causes man to grow breasts is called gynecomastia. It is typically experienced during puberty and is a problem in which the male body will begin to produce additional estrogen and stop producing as much testosterone that is necessary for a growing boy.

Obesity is one of the most common reasons why a man would grow breasts. Most men tend to gain weight around their middle and it is not impossible for their particular makeup to cause them to store the fat on their chest.

Medication can also cause you to have man boobs as 20% of all cases of manly breasts occur as a result of medication. Some medicines could increase estrogen production and reduce testosterone in the male body.

But no matter what the reasons are, this system will help you get rid of those man boobs… FAST!
