    TLDR Tamoxifen effectively treats gynecomastia without causing impotence.
    Tamoxifen is an effective treatment for gynecomastia caused by flutamide/finasteride combination therapy in patients with advanced prostate carcinoma. Studies have shown that low-dose tamoxifen can reduce breast size and tenderness without causing impotence. Tamoxifen is a viable alternative to surgery for the treatment of gynecomastia.
