Estrogen Gyno Vs. Progesterone Gyno

[Lunk1]

Estrogen realted gyno (in the case of AAS) is typically when excess testosterone is converted to estradiol which binds to estrogen receptors causing a hormpne imbalance where the estrogen is higher than the androgen.

Prolactin related gyno is caused by high levels of progesterone or prolactin. It is often associated with puffy nipples and milky discharge as it is what causes women to lactate. In order for this to happen higher estrogen levels must be present to work synergistacally with prolactin to cause gyno and lactation.

The topic that never ends, lol!

I've said this before, the relationship between progesterone, prolactin and gyno is more often misunderstood than not. When it comes to steroids that have the ability to induce gyno due to progesterone it's because progesterone has the ability to stimulate the estrogenic mechanism in the mammary tissue, not prolactin. Yes, high levels of prolactin can also be problematic but that's a separate issue. But you are right, in most cases if you keep your E2 levels in order gyno shouldn't be a problem.

If my prolactin is low, would that be an issue?
I plan on doing bloodwork that consists of prolactin and progesterone from now on. What are the normal ranges to stay within? I know for test and e2 but, not prolactin or progesterone.
