Can Gynecomastia Go Away?

Gynecomastia may go away on its own. If it persists, medication or surgery may help.

How long does it take for gynecomastia to go away?

It usually goes away within 6 months to 2 years. In adult males, gynecomastia is usually caused by another condition, such as liver or lung cancer, cirrhosis of the liver, overactive thyroid, or by hormone problems, such as cancer of the pituitary gland, adrenal glands, or testicles.

Can gynecomastia go away with exercise?

In cases of fatty gynecomastia, weight loss through diet and exercise will often improve the condition, though liposuction and/or skin removal may be needed to help a patient achieve his ideal outcome. For men with true glandular gynecomastia, exercise alone is not likely to be effective.
