Breast growth in a man

I have been diagnosed with gynecomastia. Am a 24 year old male. What are my options?

First, if the breast growth is miniscule and does not bother you, leave it alone. If you are not the type of person who is always without a shirt , then again leave the disorder alone. The major reason for treatment is cosmesis. Most men do not like breast buds sticking out of their shirt. If you hate the breasts, then the best option I suggest is liposuction. A needle can be used to remove the fat and you go home the same day. Mind you, it is painful and you will be sore for many days. In addition, it will cost you several thousand dollars.

If you have the money, go for it. If you do not have the money, just take a prozac. Gynecomastia is harmless and many men have breast buds, especially alcoholics. In young men, I recommend waiting because in many cases, the breast growth will regress.
