Pseudo - Gynaecomastia (Man Boobs)

Pseudogynaecomastia (otherwise known a Man Boobs) is basically excess chest fat.

In pseudo gynaecomastia there is no breast tissue and the breasts are only a result of accumulated fat.

Whereas actual gynaecomastia is due to the development of abnormally large mammary glands in males resulting in breast enlargement. Gynaecomastia can be due to many reasons including side effects from prescription medication, the use of recreational drugs, onset of puberty, or an underlying medical condition.

Pseudogynaecomastia looks much like real gynaecomastia but has no medical reason for being there except for the patient being overweight and in some cases it can be hereditary.

There are many ways of treating pseudogynaecomastia including exercise, diet, nutritional supplements and as a last resort, liposuction and surgery.

By far the best way to reduce the chest fat is to go on a diet and exercise plan.

To summarise, pseudogynaecomastia is an unpleasant condition but is not a medical problem.
