gyno

[juict]

I havent used any AAS in about a year, but I think I may have a little bit of gyno. I noticed a little lump in my nipple that is kinda tender. I think it may be from the propecia I take daily.

Well my question is since the problem has just begun is there something I can do to prevent it from getting worse or make it go away. I was thinking about taking some nolvadex but I am open to try something else if you guys feel I may have better sucess with other products...Thanks

First, I would go to the doc and get it checked. You say ya been off for a year? Well, it does happen. I would get labs on your test, free test, and estrogen levels from yer doc. If there is an imbalance, then you need to take action. If ya don't feel comfortable going to the doc or can't get quick labs done, then just take preventative action.

Nolva and Clomid block the action of estrogen by binding to the receptor sites making them estrogen agonist/antagonist compounds. They are great as ancillaries during a cycle and after, and should help, but if you want a more direct effect on estrogen then Arimidex or Femara could be used which actually block the aromatase enzyme which is responsible for testosterone to estrogen conversion. IF you can get formestane (Trade name Lentaron I think), it is a "suicidal" aromatase inhibitor which is extremely powerful.

If you suspect gyno (and a swollen and painful/itchy nipple would have anyone worried), then you should take action immediately. My "friend" has gotten itchy, funny feeling nips on occasion and was able to completely reverse the problem with Femara in about 2 weeks.

I hope this helps.

^^Go to the doctor?

Just save yourself some time and get some letro. Solved. Good luck.

Getting labs will help you learn yer body a lot faster than guessing.

Go to the doc? Hell yeah.

But, I would not wait either unless I could get labs back in a day or two. BTW, Femara is letro, which is good advice. Love the stuff.

So do you guys agree that the problem is probably being caused by the propecia?

[TCGypsy]

No, don't think it is the Propecia.

Finasteride is pretty well documented, and it very specific in its nature. It does not mess with androgens or estrogens to any great degree. Never heard of gyno from it.

Gyno can be a sneaky little bitch and show up well after a cycle. You gotta get an anti-estrogen going no matter whether you stop the Propecia or not.

I just orderd some letro. I am going to continue the propecia.

Should I start the letro at 2.5 and then taper down? Also how long do you usually have to take letro for? Just wondering because I am not that familar with this product and also I am reading a lot of mixed opinions on it.

[TCGypsy]

That sounds fine to me.

Start at 2.5 and monitor progess. Hard to say what will work for a specific person, but that would be a good start. Definately stay on whatever dosage you gravitate to for at least a week or two after ALL symptoms are gone prior to tapering off. Then, I would gradually reduce it for 3-4 weeks after that. If you rebound, then back on you go.

Best of luck.
