If you’re worried about being a man with developed breast tissue, remember that many people share the same feelings as you. Male breast enlargement is a condition in which male breast tissue enlarges due to hormonal imbalances. Breast enlargement during puberty is normal and can go away on its own. In addition, the cause can also be due to a number of diseases and medications, including chemotherapy, radiation, steroids, alcohol, and marijuana. If you want, you can naturally overcome male breast enlargement by making changes to your diet and lifestyle. However, you should consult your doctor before self-medicating to see if you have serious symptoms, or if the medications you are taking are causing this.
Steps
Change your diet

Eat well to maintain a healthy weight , which helps prevent low testosterone levels.

Limit alcohol intake to keep hormone levels in balance. Alcohol can affect hormone balance in the body. If possible, it’s best to stop drinking alcohol. Otherwise, you need to limit yourself to moderation, usually less than 1-2 cups per day. [5] X Trusted Source Mayo Clinic Go to Source

Ask your doctor if this is a side effect of the medication. Certain medications can cause male breast enlargement. While you shouldn’t stop taking it suddenly, your doctor may be able to change you to another medicine that doesn’t have these side effects. [6] X Trusted Source Mayo Clinic Go to Source
- Drugs that can cause male breast enlargement include: antibiotics, AIDS drugs, heart medications, anabolic steroids and androgens, antiandrogens, chemotherapy, and tricyclic antidepressants.

Lose weight if you are obese. Obesity is closely related to breast enlargement. If your body mass index (BMI) is above 25 kg/m, you have an 80% chance of having this condition. In addition to eating healthy, you should also try to get 150 minutes of exercise per week. Aerobic exercises are especially helpful in losing weight and overcoming male breast enlargement.
- Talk to your doctor or dietitian about the most effective ways to achieve your desired weight.

Consider wearing a sports bra to flatten your breasts. Usually, male breast enlargement is not a disease. In other words, it is not harmful to your health. If the problem is primarily cosmetic, you might consider wearing a sports bra under your bra to make your breasts appear flatter.
- Most sports bras come in standard sizes like small, medium and large instead of bust and cup sizes, making it easier for you to choose.

Be patient, as it takes a while to see results. Most cases of male breast enlargement go away on their own, especially during adolescence.

Plastic surgery after having ruled out health problems. If your breast enlargement is not caused by a medical condition, you may want to consider plastic surgery to remove excess tissue. Plastic surgery in recent years has become increasingly popular among men and is a common procedure.
- Ask your doctor about plastic surgery to determine if it’s right for you.
In case of needing medical attention
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f2/Reduce-Gynecomastia-Naturally-Step-11-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Reduce-Gynecomastia-Naturally- Step-11-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f2/Reduce-Gynecomastia-Naturally-Step-11-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Reduce-Gynecomastia-Naturally-Step-11-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Talk to your doctor to rule out medical conditions. Your doctor can identify the potential cause of the condition to help you better manage your symptoms. Since a number of conditions can cause an enlarged male breast, it’s important that you get the right treatment. Once your doctor has figured out the cause, you can choose the best treatment option that meets your needs.
- Some underlying conditions that your doctor may treat include: Klinefelter syndrome, cystic fibrosis, ulcerative colitis, chronic kidney disease, thyroid disorders, and liver problems. [10] X Trusted Source Mayo Clinic Go to Source

Call your doctor if you have worrying symptoms. While usually male breast enlargement is nothing to worry about, it can sometimes be a sign of a more serious underlying problem. Tell your doctor as soon as you experience the following symptoms: [11] X Trusted Source Mayo Clinic Go to Source
- Swollen or tender breasts
- Breast or nipple pain
- Discharge in one or both nipples
- Breast enlargement only on one side or a hard lump inside the breast, which can be a sign of cancer [12] X Trusted Source Mayo Clinic Go to Source

Tell your doctor about any medications and supplements you are taking. Certain medications and supplements can cause male breast enlargement, so your doctor needs to know exactly what you’re taking. It’s best to show the whole bottle to your doctor, but you can also just list the medication’s name. [13] X Trusted Source Mayo Clinic Go to Source
- Don’t forget to include the dose of your medication!

Blood tests to identify underlying diseases. Blood tests can detect certain diseases and drugs in the blood that can cause breast enlargement. This is a relatively simple diagnostic test that is virtually painless and can be performed in the clinic. [14] X Trusted Source Mayo Clinic Go to Source
- Your doctor will also use blood tests to check your testosterone levels, as low testosterone levels can contribute to breast enlargement in men.
- Blood tests can rule out conditions such as kidney disease or drug side effects.

Have a mammogram if your doctor recommends it. Your doctor may refer you for a mammogram to determine the cause of your breast enlargement. You may think that mammograms are only for women, but it’s actually for both sexes. The doctor will rely on it to examine breast tissue in both men and women, helping to prevent and diagnose conditions such as breast cancer. [15] X Trusted Source Mayo Clinic Go to Source
- You may feel some discomfort during the mammogram.

Agree to have a biopsy if the procedure is necessary for the diagnosis. If diagnosis is difficult, your doctor may need to take a sample of your breast tissue for testing. They will look at the biopsy sample under a microscope to look for a suspicious cause. When the biopsy sample is taken, your doctor will give you a local anesthetic to make you more comfortable. [16] X Trusted Source Mayo Clinic Go to Source
- You will have some discomfort when the biopsy sample is taken.
Advice
- You may feel embarrassed, but this is completely normal.
- Note that male mammary gland enlargement occurs in 60%-90% of newborns and resolves on its own within a few weeks.
