 Can an exercise treat or reduce gynecomastia

Most common question asked by the person who has gynecomastia that it can be treat or reduce by exercise. 

So the answer depends on the variety of the factors, or the underlying cause of the gynecomastia, if the enlargement of the breasts are occurs due to fat accumulation than it can be reduce or treat by doing pectoral exercise (push up, bench press, dumbbell fly, cable fly, etc.) but this condition is not a gynecomastia, it is a Pseudogynecomastia.
