A guy with a female figure. Photos, reasons, body types in men

Some men are just like women prone to gaining excess weight. This is due to a variety of reasons: heredity, diseases of the endocrine system, improper lifestyle and others. Guys with a female body type have fat deposits mainly in the buttocks and thighs. Various techniques, both gentle and radical, help to correct the silhouette.

How does the effeminate figure manifest in men?

A healthy man with a normal hormonal background is usually not threatened with female obesity (gynoid).

There is a sufficient amount of testosterone in his body, which is responsible for the formation of a male-type figure:

• narrow hips;
• broad shoulders;
• well-developed muscles.

Despite the presence of estrogen (female hormone) in a man's body, under normal functioning of the endocrine system, it does not threaten fullness.

Characteristic features and differences from the male physique

The main symptom of gynoid obesity in men is the deposition of fat in the buttocks, thighs and waist. When overweight in the male type, it is mostly located in the upper part of the figure.

A guy with a feminine figure who suffers from hormonal imbalance can have a number of health problems. These include:

• the development of gynecomastia (breast augmentation due to the appearance of fatty deposits);
• obesity of internal organs located in the abdominal cavity;
• decreased potency;
• loss of fertility;
• load on the legs and spine;
• displacement of internal organs, followed by impaired blood circulation in them;
• apnea (sudden stopping of breathing during sleep);
• oncology;
• heart attack.

At the beginning of treatment and correction, adipose tissue disappears primarily from the internal organs, therefore, outwardly, the figure can retain its previous shape for several months.

At what age can a guy's figure become effeminate?

Quite often, female obesity is observed in boys in adolescence (10-15 years). This is due to hormonal changes. With growing up (by the age of 27-28), the endocrine system more often returns to normal, the figure acquires a masculine shape.

Also, men of mature age (after 40 years) who lead the wrong lifestyle are prone to female obesity.

Reasons for the development of deviations

Low physical activity and excessive consumption of certain foods can provoke increased production of estrogen. This leads to the appearance of excess weight and the deposition of fatty tissue in the female pattern.

Hazardous products include:

• rich pastries;
• White bread;
• milk;
• fatty fish;
• drinks containing caffeine;
• sweet sparkling water;
• beer.

An effeminate figure is often found in men who are regularly stressed or depressed. With constant emotional stress, representatives of the stronger sex tend to "seize" negative emotions, just like women. Which in turn leads them to obesity.

In addition, other disorders of the general condition may appear:

• insomnia;
• thirst;
• high fatigue.

With rapid weight gain, the skin stretches, as a result of which pink stretch marks (wavy stripes, "tears") may appear on it. And the deposition of fat on the pancreas can lead to a change in insulin levels, which subsequently becomes the cause of the development of diabetes.

Other factors can also cause female obesity in men.

These include:

• mental illness;
• heredity;
• unfavorable environment;
• congenital and chronic pathologies.

Doctors note that if female-type obesity is observed in parents and other close relatives, then there is a high probability that it will manifest itself in a child.

Diagnostics of possible diseases

A guy with a female figure, in order to exclude the likelihood of developing obesity due to serious diseases, must undergo a medical examination.

It necessarily includes diagnostic methods:

• Blood chemistry. Helps to determine the need for trace elements, to assess metabolism (metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids), evaluate the work of the internal organs responsible for digestion (gallbladder, pancreas, liver and other).
• Lipidogram. A comprehensive blood test to help determine the level of fats (lipids) and assess the risk of developing diseases of the cardiovascular system.
• MRI and ultrasound. Determines the presence of visceral fat on the internal organs.
• Genetic analyzes. They help to identify the presence of mutations, and determine the karyotype (a set of signs of a complete set of chromosomes characteristic of a particular organism).
• Measurement of body mass index. Helps determine the degree of obesity.
• Glucose tolerance test. Detects the presence of type 2 diabetes in a patient.
• Analysis onhormones. It is carried out to determine the level of the main hormones (estrogen and testosterone).

Also, to determine the degree of obesity, the body mass index is calculated.

Age	BMI	Obesity rate
18-30	25-29	Overweight
From 30	26,5-30	Overweight
18-30	29,5-32	1
From 30	30,5-34	1
18-30	32,5-36,5	2
From 30	34,5-38	2
18-30	37-42	3
From 30	38,5-43	3
18-30	From 42.5	4
From 30	From 43	4

You can calculate BMI yourself using the following formula I = m (weight in kg) / h (height in meters).

Based on the results of all these studies, the attending physician identifies the presence of diseases that can provoke female obesity, the degree of its development. On the basis of which the most suitable therapy is prescribed.

Treatment methods

Treatment of female-type obesity in men most often includes several different methods.

Complex therapy consists of:

• nutrition correction;
• a set of physical exercises;
• medications;
• normalization of the daily routine.

Surgery may be indicated for severe obesity. Also, experts allow the use of traditional medicine recipes in the absence of individual intolerance and allergies to components.

Drugs

Medicines in the treatment of an effeminate figure in men are used only if obesity has provoked a hormonal failure. Sometimes drugs are prescribed to stimulate the breakdown of fat cells.

To normalize the hormonal background, the following groups of drugs are used:

• Promote weight loss. They provoke a decrease in energy in the body, as a result of which it begins to use its own fat reserves. As a result, fat cells are rapidly "burned". Xenical, Orlistat.
• Emotional stabilizers, antidepressants. Contributes to the normalization of the psychological state. Most often prescribed for depressive disorders and regular stress. Carbamazepine, Risperidone, Verapamil.
• Means for increasing testosterone. Prescribed in the event that the level of the hormone is significantly reduced. Methyltestosterone, Testosterone undecanoate, Andriol.

In the initial stages of obesity, drugs are prescribed in tablets, capsules or transdermal patches. For more severe forms, intramuscular or subcutaneous injections are most effective.

Radical surgical methods

In severe obesity, if other methods do not help, surgical treatment may be indicated.

The most popular are:

• Sleeve resection (excision of a part of the stomach). The most commonly used method. It consists in removing most of the stomach using laparoscopy. In this case, the organ takes on the form of a "sleeve". The method practically does not give complications, has a short rehabilitation period and a reduced risk of bleeding. Effective in 60-70% of cases.
• Installation of the balloon. A special balloon is inserted into the stomach, the size of which is adjusted directly in the organ, depending on individual indications. For 6 months of finding the device of the object in the stomach and the patient, the correct eating behavior is formed. It is considered one of the sparing surgical methods.
• Adjustable banding. It is used less often due to its low efficiency. During the operation, a special ring (band) is put on the upper part of the stomach. The compression ratio is adjusted depending on the indication. Food enters the upper part of the organ first, which is why saturation occurs much faster. The method helps to get rid of about 40-50% of excess body weight.
• Gastric bypass (gastric bypass). One of the most difficult methods of surgery, in which part of the small intestine, duodenum and most of the stomach are excluded from the digestion process. During the operation, the initial section of the organ is separated from the others and attached with the help of anastomoses with the small intestine. After the procedure, the patient quickly experiences a quick feeling of satiety. The disadvantage of the method is a lifelong diet and the obligatory intake of vitamin preparations.

The method of surgical intervention is selected taking into account the amount of extra pounds, chronic diseases and individual characteristics of the body. The benefits of radical treatment are curing type 2 diabetes or improving the course of the disease.

Obesity is dangerous to health, regardless of gender. Excess weight often leads to the development of serious illnesses and serious psychological complexes. Therefore, guys with a female body type should immediately start correcting it. And in order to prevent the appearance of body fat, you should lead a healthy lifestyle and monitor your diet.
