Because breast development in boys is more complicated, in order to better treat it, you must understand your condition so that you can treat it effectively. So, how to treat breast development in boys? Let’s take a closer look below.

1. 200 mg of dihydrotestosterone enanthate, injected intramuscularly once every 3 to 4 weeks. One group reported that after 3 months of treatment, the breast shrank by 67% to 78%. During the treatment, plasma DHT increased, and LH, FSH, T and E2 levels were suppressed. The levels returned to normal 2 months after stopping the medication. There was no recurrence of the disease during the 6 to 15 months of follow-up observation. Currently, it is still in the experimental stage and no DHT preparations are available on the market.

2. Tamoxifen (tamoxifen) can bind to the estrogen receptors in the target tissue and block the effects of estrogen. The usual dose is 20 mg/d, taken orally in divided doses. Some people reported that the breast was significantly reduced after taking the medicine for one month. If the effect is not significant, the dosage can be appropriately increased.

3. The mechanism of action of clomiphene is similar to that of tamoxifen (tamoxifen). Oral administration of 50-100 mg/d has shown varying degrees of efficacy in about 70% of patients.

4. Testosterone lactone inhibits aromatase, blocking the peripheral conversion of testosterone to E2. Some people have reported that 450 mg/d, taken orally in divided doses, has significant therapeutic effects. No adverse reactions were found. After taking the medicine, the ?4A level increased significantly, T, DHEA and E1 increased slightly, the ?4A/E1 ratio increased, and there was no significant change in the LH, PRL and E2 levels.

5. Traditional Chinese Medicine: Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that male gynecomastia is caused by liver qi stagnation and internal accumulation of phlegm and dampness. The treatment method should be to use drugs that soothe the liver and regulate qi, and strengthen the spleen and resolve phlegm. Some people have reported that the efficacy of Xiaoyao Powder can reach 90%, but unfortunately there is a lack of comparison.

6. Mammoplasty Due to the irreversibility of gynecomastia after long-term delay, mammoplasty is still an important means of treating this disease. Generally, a circum-areola approach is used to remove the breast tissue under the areola.
