The male flowers are merely there to pollinate the female flowers with the little melons at their base. So just leave them, but don't let any more melons (female flowers) form as they will at best produce tiny melons at the expense of the ones already set. I assume you have pinched out the growth points several leaves after the melons which have formed?
