Yoga for gynecomastia Gynecomastia is abnormal breast enlargement in men (one or both breast with or without milk secretion) which gives an unwanted and embarrassing physical appearance. Gynecomastia is most common in obese or overweight men who are in their puberty. Elderly men with excess weight can also experience gynecomastia. In most of the cases this condition is benign and temporary and happens due to some hormonal changes in the body, certain medications containing estrogen as an active component or certain medical condition like alcoholic cirrhosis. In most of the cases this breast like appearance goes away on its own but if that is not the case then it is important to consult a specialist to know the exact cause for gynecomastia. The simplest and easiest solution to treat this condition is to lose excess body weight (if you are above your ideal body weight). The breast tissue mainly comprises of adipose tissue, when you will lose your weight and body fat gynecomastia will automatically come under control. Yoga asana can help to lose weight in a gradual way, besides other weight lifting exercises and a balanced low-fat diet should also be followed. Yoga when done with correct eating pattern will work to lose the body fat and in turn build the body muscles. Weight lifting and other vigorous resistance training also helps to increase the levels of testosterone. This is an important aspect because any increase in this male hormone will cause the enlarged mammary gland to go away naturally.
