I was on finasteride for 1 month and 20 day and stopped cause I was worried from getting gyno

this is my blood tests results after stopping finasteride for 2 weeks, Do I have any problems to worry about?

I want to start taking finasteride again but worried from gyno and hermonal imbalance what do you advise me
to do? should I start again with estrogen blocker?

S.Estradiol (E2): 34.6 Pg/ml M: 7.63-42.6 (Estradiol is another word for Estrogen).
S.Testosterone : 6.12 ng/ml Male <50 years: 2.49-8.36 50 years >: 1.93-7.4

How are we supposed to know that?

Just take that damn finasteride and only then, if you notice some undesired side effects, re evaluate your options and make a decision. Gyno is often very temporary and goes away as soon as you stop the treatment. No need to be hypochondriac

Gyno is a hard lump, not sensitive nipples or water retention. That is elevated estrogen. Gyno is genetic

I have my left chest bigger than the right one and different in shape the doctor told me it's from finasteride because hormonal imbalance and the estrogen is the dominant hormone, I've just done the blood test and wondering is it safe to take it when my estrogen levels at 34%? if they are over 40% i will get gyno and finasteride raise it by 15% which means it's gonna be 40%

You could take arimidex or letrozol. Not sure why doctors don't readily prescribe medication for high estrogen. If you develop a lump only surgery will correct it.

it's in the begging of it, and not that big if it's small, is it gonna go away after stopping finasteride?

Gyno is genetic? I think if you mess up a lot with your hormones everyone should be susceptible. No?
I really dont know, but that would be my guess

Once developed, true gyno does not go back.

They say enough zinc could counter the uplifting estrogen levels that finasteride produces.

I didn't take any. But read about it and you'll see that true gyno does not reverse itself. Only pseudo-gyno.
I can rate my gynno 1.5 out of 10, I'm just asking about taking finasteride with estrogen blocker so prevent gyno or any side effects related to high estrogen levels from happening, Is there's anybody achieved success doing that?

I've read about it too and they say it can be reversed after stopping by 4 months or something, do you have any source saying that gyno caused by finasterd if it's early it can't be reversed?

do you mean it's high for a normal male, or high to take finasteride?
Well if normal range is between 7 and 42, and you're 34 it's kinda high to be taking finasteride as it will raise it even more. But you shouldn't listen to me I'm not a doctor
