"Man boobs"—a term that no man ever wants to hear, let alone see in the mirror. Whether it's the result of too many late-night pizzas or a stubborn issue that’s lingered since puberty, these chest lumps can be a source of embarrassment and frustration.

Before diving into solutions, it’s crucial to understand what’s actually causing the problem. Many men assume that their chest fat, known medically as pseudogynecomastia, is just that—fat. But there’s also a condition called gynecomastia, which involves the growth of actual breast tissue due to hormonal imbalances. Understanding the difference is key because the treatment for each is different.

Surgery might be the only option to remove the glandular tissue if you have gynecomastia.
