Gynecomastia: Gynecomastia or male breast tissue is due to an excess of Estradiol (female hormone) relative to testosterone (male hormone). It should be noted that t is converted into e by one's body fat such that obese men have more e than optimal. Consider exercise as a means to get rid of fat in order to lower conversion of t into e. Medications are also used to decrease conversion. Failing all that, surgery.

Depends on the situa: Pubertal gynecomastia will occur in 1/3 to 1/2 of males & generally last about a year before fading.Up to 3 years is noted occasionally before disappearing. Overweight kids can appear to have it from just fat accumulation.If present after 3 years, surgical removal of the glandular tissue & liposuction of any associated fatty tissue will do the job.
