Surgery includes liposuction (breast fat is removed without removing the breast gland tissue), and mastectomy (breast gland tissue is removed by making small incisions.

Generally, gynecomastia does not need any medical attention as it usually goes away on its own. The male breasts become normal again within a few months to a couple of years.

No, gynecomastia usually is not a condition with serious complications. It is noncancerous. However, it becomes tough to live with it as men and boys may feel embarrassed while staying in the group of people. There might be pain in the breasts and nipples become sensitive when it rubs against clothes.

Do not leave medication but if you want you can opt for non hormonal treatment. As for fibroadenoma, it can get cured by medicines but takes time. I will need more details for apt advice so you can contact me if interested.
