    Go swim the breaststroke (no pun intended) quit vigorously as often as you can for at least 30-45 minutes a go

    Then you develop stronger chest and shoulder and arm muscles:then your man boobs won't be noticed that much anymore

    the medical term used is gynecomastia....n recent years, the number of cases of gynecomastia suggest that more men have this condition than people may think. Many teenage boys have to deal with some form of gynecomastia but this is normal and for the most part goes away as they get older. There are some cases in older men but over weight men are at risk too. It should be noted that in some cases a more serious condition can be the cause for the condition. Did you know that a hormone secreting tumor can be a possible cause? Some other factors that lead to male breast enlargement is Klinefelter's syndrome. Although you may feel embarrassed, it's important that you seek the help of a medical professional.

    There are no real "cures" for true gynecomastia other than to go away naturally if you are a teen or do exercises to burn away the chest fat. Some drugs and medications that can cause this can be offset by counter agents. A sure fire way to remove your gynecomastia would be through surgery, but it is expensive. Surgery is an option to consider if you can afford the cost and want to see immediate results. Going under the knife is something that most people try to avoid if they can and that's why it's good to find out some natural ways to lose man boobs.

    Incorporating a set of cardio exercises into your daily or weekly routine can help to reduce your gynecomastia. If you are overweight and suffer from gynecomastia, you should consider an exercise program that burns fat because it will not only reduce your condition, but improve your overall body as well. There are also programs which can help lose your gynecomastia by natural supplements and exercises that focus on reducing fat in the chest.

    If you have had them since you were 10, would I be right in saying you have always been on the chubby side? If so, you need to change to a healthier diet and ditch the MacDonald's, Fries and Shakes.

    If my assumption is wrong and you have an otherwise normally proportioned body, the problem is hormonal. Get your testosterone and estrogen levels checked out.

    You most likely can't. I would suggest working on a six pack, and your stomach area will shrink, and you'll have these man boobs that stick out that most ladies are attracted to. The man boobs will look a lot fatter than the rest of your body when you look down, but if you look good, the ladies will love you.

    Well I have the same problem and I had a blood test done and it turns out that my testosterone level was very very low and as a result of that,that is making my female like breasts grow. Next time you go to the doctor ask all the questions you have on your mind about if you can get a blood test done to see if your testosterone level is every low.

    You may have gynecomastia meaning enlarged male breast. 30 mins of weight train is not enough, focus on your pectoralis muscle more and your whole upper body. The pectoralis muscle is convergent in shape. Reduce your fat intake. Are you muscular already, if not then they definitely will not go away.

    Find a personal trainer. If need be, join a sport (suggested swimming). It will really give you a decent workout.
