How I Overcame My 50-Year Struggle With Gynecomastia

Before we get started, here's a little story from one of my clients, Sammie Fields.
Hey there I’m Sammie.

I’m in my 70s now and I’m finally enjoying my life as a masculine-looking guy. I struggled with gynecomastia ever since puberty. Back in the day it was totally unheard of for a man to have breasts.

Man boobs were quite a rare thing. If you think having man boobs is bad now, try having them in the 60s. I spent my entire life in fear that someone would notice my breasts. I stayed away from women - I was horrified of the bedroom. I also stayed away from the beach and only got out wearing the thickest of clothing to try and conceal myself.

Back then there was no internet, and no information out there to help me. I tried everything I could to try and get rid of my man boobs. I lost weight and tried different diets but all to no avail.

One day however, just a few years ago I came across a newspaper article.

This article complained of how male fish in our waters were becoming feminized. Scientists had studied these male fish and found how they had developed feminine characteristics, even to the point of producing eggs! Apparently this was due to the prevalence of the female hormone estrogen in our water supply.

Apparently, due to most government water filtration systems (including the US), estrogen passes unfiltered right into our taps, and straight into your belly when you drink that glass of water.

The estrogen is being absorbed by us and is resulting in modern man having low sperm counts, fertility problems and gynecomastia. Heck it might even be responsible for the boom in the male cosmetics industry (joke).

So I went out there, did some research and found some other shocking sources of estrogen that exist especially in the modern environment, but were also there in the past albeit in much lower quantities and not as widespread back in the day.

Why am I telling you all this?

Well I lost my man boobs in my mid-sixties. The only way I managed to succeed was after I armed myself with the facts, and all the information I needed to know about the very root cause of my gynecomastia.

If I could get rid of my gynecomastia in my sixties, then I know for a fact that anyone else can do it too. So if you're about to give up or you have given up and are ready to face the world as a pseudo-man, then I'm here to tell you to wake up! Get out of that trance, shake yourself up and inform yourself of real working tactics that have been proven time and time again to help many thousands of guys lose their man boobs permanently using all-natural methods.

And I can't think of a better person to help you than my good friend Robert Hull. I leave you to his very capable hands and I'm sure that you will learn much on his new blog.

Varicocele occurs when the network of veins that leave the testis (pampiniform plexus) become elongated and enlarged. The valves within the pampiniform plexus when they work properly only allow the blood to flow away from the testicle - if there is something wrong with them, blood builds up.

Approximately 15% of men have a varicocele. A varicocele develops over time.

The network of veins often appear visibly blue through the scrotum and feel like "a bag of worms". When the patient lies down symptoms are less evident.

Varicose veins people get in their legs are similar to a varicocele.

Varicoceles can lower a man's sperm count and undermine the quality of his sperm. In some cases, the testicles may shrink.

What are the signs and symptoms of varicocele?

A symptom is something the patient feels and describes, such as pain, while a sign is something the doctor, nurse or somebody else detects, such as an irregular heartbeat.

It is common for the patient to experience no signs or symptoms at all. In some cases there may be pain, which can..

  • ..be dull or sharp. There may be a sensation of heaviness. Some describe it as a dragging-like pain.
  • ..worsen when the patient is physically exerting himself, standing or sitting. Prolonged periods of exertion are more likely to bring on pain.
  • ..get worse later on during the day
  • ..feel better when the patient is lying down
Eventually most varicoceles grow and the person becomes more aware of them. Often described as feeling "like a bag of worms".

What are the causes of veicoceles?

The valves in the veins that go along the spermatic cord do not work properly, a similar process as varicose veins in the legs. A defect in the valves leads to a backflow of blood into the pampiniform plexus, raising pressure there and causing the veins to dilate, and eventually damaging testicular tissue.

Most varicoceles occur on the left side, where the left-testicular vein is.

How is varicocele diagnosed?

During a physical exam the GP (general practitioner, primary care physician) may be able to feel the mass of veins, or the bag of worms. In cases were signs are not evident, the doctor may ask the patient to do a Valsalva maneuver - take a deep breath, hold it and bear down.

If the doctor is still not sure, a scrotal ultrasound may be ordered, this will show whether the veins in the pampiniform plexus are greater than 2mm.

What are the treatment option for varicocele?

The doctor may recommend not treating the varicocele. If there is pain, the testicle is shrinking, or the patient's sperm count and quality is affected something will have to be done. Surgery may be performed to seal off the dilated vein so that blood can flow through healthy veins. This may not always solve the sperm count and quality problem, though.

If surgery is needed the patient does not usually have to stay in hospital afterwards. Post-operative pain is generally mild.

To test sperm count and quality the patient will have to wait a few months after the operation for a semen analysis.

What are the possible complications of a varicocele?

Testicular atrophy (testicle shrinkage) - if the sperm-producing tubules are damaged, the testicle will get smaller and softer.

Sperm count and quality - there is a risk the man may become infertile, or find it much harder to get a woman pregnant. Experts say that the temperature inside the testicle sometimes rises if there is a varicocele, affecting sperm production and motility.

I take quality "Diosmin with Hesperdin," a prescription drug in Europe. I started it for regular varicous veins and found out that after several months it ended thirty years of varicocel inlfamation and pain. I have to keep taking it but it is not too expensive and it has other health benefits as well.
It is a well researched treatment in Europe.

  2. Men usually do not come to know that they have varicose veins in the scrotum (varicocele) till the time when they are unable to impregnate the female partner and then evaluated for infertility. Infertility may affect 1 in 6 couples, and in approximately 40% of cases, it is due to issues found in male fertility. Moreover, among those 40% cases, varicoceles can occur in 15% of males facing infertility. However, the good news is that there are fertility treatment options to treat infertility caused due to a varicocele.
