This section of Man Boobs Guide contains articles pertaining to drugs that can be used for male breast reduction. If you are a man with gynecomastia, you most likely have extra breast tissue or glandular tissue in your chest area. Obviously, men that are suffering are always looking for a treatment for gynecomastia. A plastic surgery procedure is one way to get rid of the condition. It should be noted that there are drugs that can contribute to gynecomastia including drugs that breast cancer and prostate cancer patients take.
So, one medicine that can help gynecomastia is Clomiphene. Clomiphene is an SERM or selective estrogen receptor modulator which means it basically hinders the way that estrogen acts.
Bodybuilders sometimes take the drug when they are actively using anabolic steroids to hinder the effects of estrogen. It also enables the body to produce testosterone more naturally thereby decreasing gynecomastia. A risk is that men who take Clomiphene porduce more ejaculatory fluid during sexual intercourse.
When a surgeon treats gynecomastia sufferers using the drug, they typically prescribe 50 mg to 100 mg of the drug per day for up to a period of 6 months. Apart from increased ejaculatory fluid, other side effects include nausea, body rashes and in some cases impaired vision.
If you decide to go with this treatment for gynecomastia, you could possibly avoid weight loss surgery and your medical health will be much better.
