Battling Gynecomastia.... (Propecia, Avodart, Spiro, DHT & hormones ...)
Post reply

With regards to gynecomastia, just curious if anyone has looked into or tried using any medications which compete with the excess estradiol produced while taking finas / dutas / spiro, at the receptor site in male breast tissue.

If you have tried them, what have your results been?

If you are thinking about it, what do you know?

Such meds include...

� Anti-estrogen medications, selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), such as

afimoxifene
arzoxifene
bazedoxifene
clomifene
lasofoxifene
ormeloxifene
raloxifene
tamoxifen
toremifene

� Aromatase inhibitors, such as

Letrozole
Anastrozole
Exemestane

Going ever so slightly off-topic here:

I don't take any of the medications you discussed, but I do take Chrysin, Piperine, Zinc and some other products referred to in the article above as aromatase inhibitors and that have an impact on SHBG.

I prefer not to name any particular supplements I take because I am not a fan of pushing particular products, but I take a product that has all this stuff in it. In other words, I am taking the natural route in this case. I am doing so in order to offset possible problems with the dutasteride that I apply topically.

To the aromatase inhibitor list you can add testolactone also.

Medications induced gynecomastia is typically painful.

I would like to know how many of you have painful gynecomastia.

I had gyno 2 1/2 years ago from avodart. Arimidex (anastrozole) alleviated the soreness and resolved the problem partially. I still have a puffy nipples. I may try a little nolvadex soon. Iknow it is a long shot (2 years 1/2 later)...
What should my dosage be?

Nolvadex can prevent gynecomastia and to some extent reverse it.
But trying it after 2and 1/2 years, I dont think it would be of much use. By now fibrous tissue would have formed and I dont think it is reversible with medicines.

How long did you have gynecomastia before you started taking Tamoxifen?

If the duration is less, the gyno will disappear on its own if you stop taking the offending drug . Medicines like Tamoxifen can work during this phase.

But if gyno is present for a long time fibrous tissue forms making it irreversible. In that case surgery is the only option.
