What Are the Side Effects of
Having Man Boobs?
Are you experiencing a problem with man boobs? You would
probably be surprised to discover the number of men who
are having this particular problem. Some of them are
able to hide it well underneath their clothes but at
times it might be necessary for you to actually come
public with your problem. It causes a social disorder as
a result of your not being able to go out without this
embarrassment. There are many different side effects
that can also be caused as a result of male breast. Most
of them are not caused as a result but actually coincide
with this particular problem.
The actual problem has a medical name of gynecomastia.
This is a condition that really only happens whenever a
male is going through puberty. As a result of this
condition, the body will produce additional estrogen and
less testosterone which will result in the mammary
glands activating and growing. It might even be possible
for a boy that is going through this particular problem
to lactate, which causes additional embarrassment. If
you are older than the age of puberty you are probably
not experiencing this medical condition but have man
boobs for another reason.
Between 20% and 30% of all men that experienced this
problem have it as a result of the medication that they
are taking. It could be that you have been taking this
particular medication for a very long time without it
affecting you. If it begins to interact with your
glands, such as your pituitary or thyroid, it could
increase the amount of estrogen that is present in your
body. Although you may not be able to stop taking the
medicine that you are on, you may be able to reduce the
size of your breast as a result of anti-estrogen
treatment. Your doctor will be able to give you advice
in this area.
A person's diet may have a lot to do with the man boobs
that they are experiencing as well. I'm not necessarily
talking about obesity, which certainly can cause your
breast to grow, I'm talking about the type of food you
eat. Eating a meat and potatoes diet can cause your body
to have levels of hormones that are unnatural as a
result of improper farming practices and meat handling.
Try cutting some of these hormone filled foods from your
diet to see if your breasts decrease in size. It would
not hurt for you to lose weight as well, especially if
you're obese, as this will also aid in reducing your
breast size.
Although there are not necessarily any deadly side
effects that go along with having breast like a woman,
it can cause a lot of social anxiety. This, in turn, can
cause a person to be depressed and withdrawal from
society altogether. If you are suffering from this type
of problem, try to find out if there is an underlying
condition. By removing the condition, you remove the
symptom which shows up as breast on a man.
