Gynaecomastia

Is there any ayurvedic treatment for gynecomastia? Treatment that not only includes elimination of fat but complete reduction of the breast gland that mainly causes it.

Hi, there is no Ayurveda treatment for Gynecomastia. Gynecomastia is swelling of the breast tissue in boys or men, caused by an imbalance of the hormones estrogen and testosterone.  Most cases of gynecomastia regress over time without treatment. However, if gynecomastia is caused by an underlying condition, such as hypogonadism, malnutrition or cirrhosis, that condition may need treatment. If you're taking medications that can cause gynecomastia stop them or substituting another medication. Medical management includes antiestrogens. Two gynecomastia surgery options are: Liposuction. This surgery removes breast fat, but not the breast gland tissue itself. Mastectomy. This type of surgery removes the breast gland tissue. The surgery is often done endoscopically, meaning only small incisions are used. This less invasive type of surgery involves less recovery time.
