How to Get Rid of Man Boobs - The Ultimate guide!


Are you worried about your man's boobs condition? Bcoz of this, you feel embarrassed getting shirtless in public. Your friends also use to tease you a lot for the same. Then don't worry there is a solution to it & you can get rid of this.


Manboobs have two types of conditions:

  • Gynecomastia

  • Lipomastia


Let's know first what gynecomastia is.

In this condition boys' and men's breasts swell up and become larger than normal. It is most common in teenage boys and older men. This happens bcoz the growth of extra tissue around the nipples. There is the formation of a lump beneath the nipples which is painful or tender. Sometimes it is also seen that there discharge of fluids from the nipples.


There are many reasons for Gynecomastia:

  • Hormonal Imbalance: Gynecomastia can be caused by an imbalance between the sex hormones Testosterone & estrogen. Usually, males have high testosterone & low levels of estrogen. But when testosterone level drops & estrogen levels increase there is a growth in breast tissue.

Few people think that soya products cause a hormonal imbalance & are reasons for man boobs. But this is not true. You can click here to know more about this.


  • Found in New Born babies: Gynaecomastia is also sometimes found in newborn baby boys because estrogen passes through the placenta from the mother to the baby. This is temporary and will disappear a few weeks after the baby is born.

  • During Puberty: When boys hit there puberty there is a lot of instability in their hormones. Which leads to a decrease in testosterone & increase in Oestrogen resulting man's boobs condition. But it becomes normal as they grow older & their hormone stabilizes.

  • Due to old age: Testosterone drops during old age in men. Bcoz of high body fat in men estrogen increases which leads to an increase in breast tissue.

  • Other Reasons:

: Lumps or infections in the testicle

: Heavy consumption of Alcohol

: Kidney or Liver Disease

: Usage of Anabolic Steroids

: Side effects of the medicine

Treatment options for Gynecomastia include

  • medication to adjust a hormone imbalance

  • surgical removal of the excess breast tissue


So it is always advised to consult a Doctor in case of Gynecomastia.



Lipomastia: This is also called Pseudo-gynecomastia. Where there is an excess deposition of fat in the lower chest. This happens mostly with obese or morbidly obese people.


Treatment of this condition is simple you have to focus on reducing your overall body fat% by following a healthy lifestyle. For this, you have to follow a quantified calorie deficit diet and sound sleep which will reduce your stress hormone & helps in recovery. The overall increase in energy expenditure is also required for fat loss.


One more thing that you need to avoid is searching in google i.e workouts to reduce chest fat or Man boobs. You will get many influencers who also suggest workouts for this. They will also say that by training your lower chest muscles you can reduce your chest fat. But you have to understand that fat has nothing to do with the workout. Whenever you do the workout you only train your muscles & there is no impact on the fat. Just like doing 1000 crunches won't reduce your belly fat similarly doing any workout related to your chest won't impact the fat on your chest.
