How many times do we see this on this site? Too many times in my opinion.
I think that if there was a small template of questions that should be considered BEFORE you create ANOTHER Gynecomastia thread, it would cut down on the number of questions that always seem to be missing in every Gyno thread. Its just seems to me that often we have to drag information out the OP in order to develop a complete understanding of whats happening. Too often these Gyno threads go unchecked by Vets and other senior members because not enough information is given by the OP. It can be a bit frustrating having to ask the most simplest of questions to the OP. So I think the more complete the information is, the better off the OP will have at people taking the time to comment and offer advice. This needs to be addressed, for the sake of the OP and ourselves.
Its like fishing. If your presentation sucks, you’ll have little attention from the fishes. But if your presentation is attractive (complete and informative) you’re odds of having some support and advice goes waaay up.
These are IMPORTANT questions that are highly recommended in order for anyone to give responsible advice, otherwise its just a big guessing game. So, when asking for advice about Gynecomastia please remember to post up a COMPLETE description of what’s going on including when you first noticed this "Gyno" and ask yourself these questions;
1. Have you experienced gyno in the past? Was it on cycle? If so, how did you get rid of it? What protocols did you use?
2. Are you currently on cycle? If so, what is your EXACT cycle? Did you include an AI?
3. When did you first notice it? Today? Last night? Yesterday? When you were a kid? Is this puberty gyno?
4. Describe it. Or even better, take photos and post them so we can determine if its just fat build up - in some case that's all it is.
5. Are you lactating? Is it sore to the touch? Is it firm or soft?
6. Have you had it checked by a health professional? If so, when? What was the diagnosis? If not, why not?
