I'm not a physician but I can discuss this intelligently. You wish to know how to resolve gynecomastia. My friend, that depends on the cause of it.
Pubertal gynecomastia (occurs in pubescent boys) is related to estrogen-androgen imbalance, is usually transient and self-resolving. No treatment is needed. In older men it's often related to decreased testosterone production and/or to medications. Other causes include drugs, cirrhosis, hyperthyroidism, renal insufficiency, testicular tumor and hypogonadism. In these cases, managing or resolving the cause can resolve the gynecomastia. And sometimes it's just idiopathic, meaning there's no known cause. In this case, surgery or medication therapy may the answer.
The first step is to be diagnosed with gynecomastia and to determine the probable cause of it. This requires your doctor's expertise. Your doctor will develop a treatment plan appropriate for you.
