Ok so i first noticed i had gyno when i was in my early teens, (not that i knew what it was back then). saw my gp, he said it would go away blah blah blah.
My gyno isnt huge but definately noticeable, looks like i have two sad eyes under my t shirt!
could this be fixed with any serms, letrozol/ nolva? or would surgery be my only option seeing as i have had it for so long?
cheers.
got the exact same thing from early teens, not major but can notice, I have done quite a bit of searching but have not come up with much regarding easy reversal. other then surgery.......
Same problem here, any answers ?
Yes. there's many, many studies showing that pubertal/idiopathic gyno can be relieved by using SERMs (nolva/ralox) and AI's.

Abstract
Four boys with persistent pubertal gynecomastia were given intramuscular dihydrotestosterone heptanoate (DHT-hp) at 2 to 4-week intervals for 16 weeks. By the end of treatment, breast size in all four boys had decreased 67% to 78%. Initial plasma levels of gonadotropins, estradiol, testosterone, and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) were normal. Mean plasma DHT concentration rose with the injections of DHT-hp, and remained elevated throughout the treatment period. Estradiol, LH, FSH, and testosterone decreased during treatment, as did 24-hour urinary LH and FSH. No regrowth of breast tissue was observed 6 to 15 months after treatment, although hormone concentrations had returned to near pretreatment values by 2 months after the last injection. DHT-hp has potential to be an effective medical therapy for persistent pubertal gynecomastia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To assess the efficacy of the anti-estrogens tamoxifen and raloxifen in the medical management of persistent pubertal gynecomastia.
STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective chart review of 38 consecutive patients with persistent pubertal gynecomastia who presented to a pediatric endocrinology clinic. Patients received reassurance alone or a 3- to 9-month course of an estrogen receptor modifier (tamoxifen or raloxifene).
RESULTS: Mean (SD) age of treated subjects was 14.6 (1.5) years with gynecomastia duration of 28.3 (16.4) months. Mean reduction in breast nodule diameter was 2.1 cm (95% CI 1.7, 2.7, P <.0001) after treatment with tamoxifen and 2.5 cm (95% CI 1.7, 3.3, P <.0001) with raloxifene. Some improvement was seen in 86% of patients receiving tamoxifen and in 91% receiving raloxifene, but a greater proportion had a significant decrease (>50%) with raloxifene (86%) than tamoxifen (41%). No side effects were seen in any patients.
CONCLUSION: Inhibition of estrogen receptor action in the breast appears to be safe and effective in reducing persistent pubertal gynecomastia, with a better response to raloxifene than to tamoxifen. Further study is required to determine that this is truly a
treatment effect.

I found these with some brief searches.
So take your time and don't be afraid of research :wg:
interesting.... I am doing my first cycle in the next few weeks and have my full pct ready so will see if there is any difference after that.
DHT Enanthate??!! I'd always wondered why nobody produced such a thing (instead of proviron). At least now I know its possible...Quote:
