Maybe Itll Cure Itself??????

Is there any chance of the gyne. just disolving and going away by itself?
Thanks

I wish...no I mean I pray that was so.  I've read a few post that if you're a teen, it might go away later but I don't think I could waste those party years.

How old are you? Like Blitz said, there is a chance it can go away when you're younger but once you get to 16-17 and still have it then there is a high chance that it is infact permenant.

Im 36!!! However, Im also overweight so Im hoping it gets much better with weight loss (like 50 pounds).

If your gyne is just fat (i.e. pseudo gynecomastia) then of course dieting and fat loss will help greatly.  If however you have real gynecomastia which is breast gland growth then sadly no amount of fat loss will make it disappear.

Yup... I got the damn fat and the hard gland tissue as well. Lucky me!!!!!

A little weight loss first would probably get rid of some of the fat and improve the looks a bit but, some fat attached to the gland and close to the gland will most likely remain as the gland will remain so you won't be able to cure it all with weight loss. Go to your doctor about it and address the issue. You are way past the age of the gland going away by itself so see the doctor to refer you to a specialist. If he tells you to lose weight first do that. You don't need to go extreme in that area to the point were you are unhealthy. I lost a little to much weight. If your doctor doesn't see a problem and they are being a pain about it. Find your own PS and set up a consultation. I know if you are correct in what you are stating it will not cure itself. I am 99.9% sure that the gland will not go away. Weight loss would be your best bet for the fat part of it though.

Getting G-M for real is a morphosis - that is a state change - it doesn't go away.

A frog can't go back to being a tadpole - you either accept and enjoy being a frog, or get your legs chopped off and a false tail grafted on, and pretend.

The first option is simpler .... and cheaper too!

Is it that bad being a frog ?

Croak croak!

Thanks 4 the help/advice guys. I wouldnt even think about getting the surgery until I lose every pound I need to. It just seems more sensable that way.
I also realize it wont go away by itself now and Im really depressed about that, but at least I can fix it when the time comes.

The earlier distinction between True and pseudo gynecomastia came from somewhere I am not familiar with.

You see, In most cases, Glandular tissue is surrounded by fat; or fat with glandular tissue growing through it.  The result is the same either way.

The fatty part of the breast will increase and decrease as a person gains or loses weight, but will not completely do away.

The glandular portion of the breast tissue is the part most likely to shrink to the point that it becomes almost undetectable  if there is not the hormonal support for it.  

This happens to women as well.  As her hormone levels fall off in menopause, the fibrous glandular tissue is prone to shrink.  The Post-Menopausal woman is often left with sagging, fatty breasts which are somewhat less full than in her younger years.

Breast growth in men is actually quite common, and about 2/3 of men have some breast growth. Obviously, some lucky guys have none or very little.  

Breast growth in puberty is quite normal and shrinkage is also quite normal. Many boys are told not to worry, that it will go away in a year or so.  The truth is that the shrinkage may take several years but most often happens before the age of 20.  

Adult onset Gynecomastia is less common and is almost always an unwanted side effect of some medication or drug;  Though it can also be a symptom of many different diseases.  If the cause is removed or treated quickly, The breast growth will usually shrink.

Some men are inclined to have fatty deposits that are trpically thought of as female.  The breasts, hips, buttocks, and thighs are commonly thought of as feminine locations for fatty deposits but some of us have fat deposits there too.

If you have been seriously obese and then lost a significant amount of weight,  your skin may have stretched and you'd be left with small saggy breasts.  (This is very common also on elderly men)

Finally, there are those of us who inherit Gynecomastia as a family trait.  For us, it will not go away.

As you see, the whole subject is very iffy.  Each of us is different.  If you really want a good answer to your question, The best response would likely come from an Endocrinologist.
