I forget the exact term you guys were using, lol started with gyn, but anyway, from what i understood sometimes this problem is just sometimes caused by extra fat storage in the breast, like i mean, if you have man boobs in that sense, and im extremely sorry if i offended anyone with that term, i honestly dont know what else to call it, umm, if its just fat thats the problem, well wouldnt you be able to just drop your body fat, possibly enough to make them go away or to just make them less obvious? i was just kinda curious on this one, because everyone said the only way to fix this is surgery

I thought it had something to do with hormones...could be wrong here..I just remember something about this from a former post.

There are two types of this. One is excess fat, the other is fat with actual female breast tissue. If you have excess fat, losing weight (fat) may get rid of it. If you have the actual female breast tissue then only surgery can get rid of it. Yes there is a horomonal reason to it.

That's what I thought...this is a quote from bb1fit in regards to this matter:

"Unfortunately it is probably a cause of your estrogen and test levels being highly unbalanced, or you have a high aromitzation level of your natural test. Short of surgery, you may try Nolvadex. It is made to shrink breast tissue. It actually blocks the estrogen from the receptors totally. (being unscientific here, but that is the gist of it)"

Type in "man boobs" in the fit buddy below...lot's of dialouge on this topic.

Now here is an uncommon question, none the less, i feel a little obliged to ask for it has been my case for a year or so. I heard! That Cannabis generates these "man boobs" for some reason. I'd really like to know why and how it it's true though.
