Help I am a 20 year old male (I weight 190) so I know im not obese but i still have these male tits. I can not afford surgery since i need money for college but I don't want to buy giant shirts anymore. Does anyone know any drugs that help reduce these male breasts. Or if their are not out yet does anyone know any new drugs being created as we speak?

Are you joking? Do you think there is a pill to make it go away?

Saying you weigh 190 means nothing. It is possible to be that weight and overweight, fit or obese. Being overweight is not about how much you weigh. It is about your proportions, is most of the weight in your gut, how much bodyfat you have, etc. Someone 5'10 who weighs 190 can be that weight and fit if they have wide shoulders, wide arms, wide thighs, no gut, etc. You can also have a person the same height and weight except most of the weight is in their gut, they have tits, high bodyfat, relatively skinny arms and legs for their weight, etc.

You need to get real, there is no pill that will help you. You need to change your lifestyle or do nothing and live with male tits. You can start working out, doing some kind of cardio, changing your diet, etc. If you have male breasts you probably have high bodyfat, you may want to start running, running in the morning is the time you will burn the most fat. Running at least 40 minutes continously so your hearbeat increases will higher your metabolism for over an hour after you stop running and get you to burn calories and fat. You do not even have to run outside, I just run up and down my stairs for 20 minutes a few times a week. You will probably want to change your eating habits, eating less at each meal but eating more meals will increase your metabolism as well. Also if you eat before bedtime you may want to stop doing that because as your body sleeps you burn few calories. There is no easy solution you must change your lifestyle, you cannot just continue your lifestyle which has resulted in you having male breasts and hope a pill will make it go away.

You may have something called Gynecomastia, which are 'male breasts'. It may have absolutely nothing to do with weight. Most likely in your case it is just a result of puberty. It might just go away on its own in a few years as puberty goes away. Here are some other causes

puberty
steroid abuse
obesity
marijuana use
tumors
genetic disorders
chronic liver disease
side effects of many medications
castration
Klinefelter Syndrome
Gilbert's Syndrome
aging

Balance your diet, and find an exercise routine that invlolves a lot of cardio (to burn fat) and bench pressing (to increase muscle mass in your chest).

It is amazing what advice people will give when they know nothing about a subject.

Large male breasts on a 6' 190# male is not because of diet in 99.99999% of the cases. It is almost always caused by too much estrogen & usually not enough testosterone. Your doctor can refer you to a specialist for hormone tests to see if you need testosterone supplements.

Sometimes body builders take testosterone supplements to increase body muscle mass when they already have normal amounts of testosterone. This excess testosterone can be converted into female hormones to grow the tits.

Diet & exercise can reduce a small amount of fat around the breasts, but it will not remove the breast growth glands.

Once you have gynecomastia they can only be removed by surgery.

Mine started growing when I was 14 & skinny. I gained weigh later to hide them. Now I have gained a positive attitude & learned to accept them as my body.

They are also genetic, my fathers & sons have gynecomastia.

Millions of men have gynecomastia, only about 20,000 per year have surgery.

If I wore a bra it would be 42C, I was a "D" but lost 50 pounds & a cup size.

Most breasts are quite sensitive & a great turn-on when making love.

You may get lucky & find a girl that likes them. I did.

Good luck,

Oh yeah it's a well-known fact that smoking pot causes gynecomastia. In fact one of the initial questions my endocrineologist asked me when I was being checked for gynecomastia was whether I smoked pot or not.

Right. At the very least, we need to know your height. Average weight increases about 10-20 lbs. for every extra inch in height. For example, normal weight for someone who is 5'9" is 145-160lbs., but normal weight for someone who is 6' is 175-190 lbs.

Then there are other factors such as frame size and body fat index.

Exercising the chest muscles will not shrink tits.

The increased muscle mass does the opposite, the breasts are pushed out even futher.

But i heard that muscle burns fat hence, muscle reduces titties

Muscle doesn't burn fat, it forces your body to burn more carbs which in turn can lead to fat loss, but not always.

Not to mention the fact that very few guys with gynecomastia have pure fatty tissue, the vast majority have a combination of fat (which can be lost) and actual breast tissue (which can only be removed via surgery).

There are not any exercises to reduce fat on a particular part of the body. The body usually burns off the fat in a "last on first off" basis.

Lenny,

I feel for you man. Because I have exactly what you have. I am a tall and skinny man and I am good looking. The only thing holding me back is my lack of muscle tone and my man boobs. My boobs are just fat that sticks out, it is NOT actual breast tissue. My dad has the same issue and he lifts weights, jogs, and eats good every day. I work out and drink tons of water and I've yet to loose the fatty boobs. The only thing us men can do is get therapy so that we accept our boobs or my choice is to save up and get cosmetic surgery. The cost is usualy $3000 and can be done with local anesthesia. I get real depressed when I go the beach and see all those muscle men, or men without boobs and I feel so inferior as a man. really that is my issue you may feel so happy to have boobs. I do not as I cannot take off my shirt anywhere I go, and most men my age are always walking around half nude.

peace and write back home fries!

Ok so ive had this problem since i was young like 10ish i guess. Im now 18 and well ive noticed a few things with this. 1 bodybuilding helps dont listen to people who havnet done it. You have to work long and hard thou think ARNOLD, thas your best bet if you wanna some how hide this without sergery. Now the problem with that is it will come back but by then youll be old so who cares when your 40 or 50 your aloud to look like ****. Also CARDIO! it combined with chest work lats shoulders and traps and abs will change a lot. Cardio, if it doesnt get rid of the ****ing problem it will shape your chest up atleast and give it a tight hard appearance (hence ARNOLD). Ive had to grow up with this so far and well thas the only stuff that works. The minute you stop it starts devoloping again thou so DONT STOP. As far as excepting this problem man **** THAT! are you a guy or girl man suck it up and fight it you cant let this change everything you have ever known.

But in the end for all of us who dont have the money to throw around for surgery body building and CARDIO! more cardio will give you quicker results body building will give you better looking results.
Good Luck To All.
