Man boobs or gynecomastia is generally a condition that comes about as a result of either a genetic or hormonal malfunction or a lifestyle factor such as poor diet, dramatic weight lose or side effects of particular medicines.

We hear all too often of how males, particularly adolescence and middle aged men are mocked for bearing such a feminine trait. Female breast are not easy for a man to live with and despite efforts to hide them, usually by opting to wear either specific or extra clothing, the damage psychologically is often all too over whelming.

Admitting to having man boobs in the first instance is not something that is easily done and even when help is sort after, it is not always obvious or even helpful in where to go or what to do. At times the embarrassment is what leads to action being taken but at times the immense feeling of shame gives way to depression and a very unhealthy mind as well as unsocial behaviour.

Treatments for man boobs are available but often the more natural options out there do not bear the guarantee to actually work. Depending on what is the cause behind the gynecomastia will have a huge impact on what can be done to help the patient. For some a course of hormone treatment can be prescribed and for others a healthy diet avoiding certain fatty foods can be the answer. But then there are also those men who despite trying various remedies, continue to live in shame and hold on to their unfortunate man boobs.

For some males losing the embarrassment of having man boobs is not that easy and when the option of having surgery such as liposuction is not available unless paid for by going for private treatment, living with man boobs could turn out to be pretty much a life sentence.
