Thread: gynecomastia

    gynecomastia

    I have Gynecomastia. Currently I have been taking Dostinex to reduce the levels of prolactyn. This was not caused by steroids but due to hypothyrod.

    I want to start using steroids but I am afraid the gynecomastia will get worse. What can I do?? Obviously cirgury is the answer but I'm afraid.

    I agree with Tycin, you'll probably need the surgery to cure it....

    Regarding taking steroids, it's a pretty good probability that you'll develop gyno if you've had problems with it before....Do a bunch of research on anti estrogens (Nolvadex, femara, etc) on this site and you'll find lots of options to help prevent the problem if you go on AAS.

    DHT transdermal MAY work. Try some letrozole at 2.5mg ed and see if the lumps go away.

    Thank You all very much, I will give it a try and if it does not work I will go to surgery.

    Thanks again, and if anyone else has any ideas I will be glad to hear them.
