If you are stuck in the dilemma of trying to figure out how to get rid of man boobs then you may be please to know that there are two definite ways to get rid of them. But first you have to find out what kind of man boobs do you have.
Two sorts of man boobs
There are two kinds of man boobs Gynecomastia and Pseudogynecomastia and although both conditions may have the same appearance and give the bearer the same emotional upset they do in fact stem from two different causes.
The word Gynecomastia originates from Greek word gynaik and mastos which means "woman breasts", and is a medical condition caused by the development of an abnormally large mammary glands found under the flesh in the males chest area. Gynecomastia is not usually a health threat but it is the most difficult condition to get rid of without the use of expensive surgery. However don't panic yet, because the good news is it is estimated that only approximately?% of all males that have man boobs actually have genuine Gynecomastia and the other 90% of males tying to find the answer to the question "how to get rid of man boobs"? more commonly have Pseudogynecomastia.
So what is Pseudogynecomastia? Well! To put it in a nut shell Pseudogynecomastia is simply overweight and you have a build- up of what is called "adipose tissue" (which is a medical term for common every day FAT ) in and around the chest area.
How to tell which one you have. Ultimately there is only one conclusive way to find out what condition you have Gynecomastia or Pseudogynecomastia and that is to attend a medical check-up. However, unless you are in a strong financial position seeking medical help and advice on how to get rid of man boobs is unfortunately not so easy. Any male with man boobs will fully understand the psychological damage, lack of confidence and the lowering of ones self-esteem having "moobs" can create, but the medical fraternity and insurance plans are not so sympathetic and consider "man breast surgery" as cosmetic surgery and subsequently any medical consultations and man boobs removal will usually have to be financed by yourself.
I am broke and can't afford a medical examination. Don't worry remember that only 10% of men with man boobs actually have genuine Gynecomastia so before you make the assumption that you will need to get Gynecomastia surgery and providing you man boobs are not giving you any physical pain or show obvious signs of additional inflammation ,discoloration or scaring then you should assume that your condition is Pseudogynecomastia, and only when normal and considerably cheaper methods of handling Pseudogynecomastia fail should you start looking to get you man boobs resolved by the plastic surgeons
