If you have gynecomastia, you are plagued by the embarrassment that other men with the condition go through. The main cause of the condition is being overweight as well as having an imbalance between the testosterone and estrogen hormone. Most of the time, it is due to men having excess fat. In this case, gynecomastia treatment can be as simple as performing exercises on a regular basis. If you have large male breasts and are not overweight, gynecomastia surgery may be the only fix. In this article, I would like to explore medication as a cure for gynecomastia.
On this website, I have disucssed other medications such as tamoxifen and clomiphene for man boobs. Now, I would like to talk about a drug called raloxifene. Raloxifene is an SERM which is also known as a selective estrogen receptor modulator. Basically what this means is that the drug inhibits estrogen from doing what it naturally wants to do in the body. Like tamoxifen, raloxifene was developed in treat breast cancer in women. However, bodybuilders are starting to use the drug for male breast reduction.
Before you go using drugs such as raloxifene as a cure for gynecomastia, please consult your doctor as there may be certain health risks that you should know about. A doctor will be able to provide you with the proper dosage information. Please note that there are other ways to get rid of man boobs or chest fat.
