Gyno

[Nex]

So I have a very mild case of Gyno that I had BEFORE i started finasteride, it doesn't bother me, my nipples are a bit puffy and I have some extra fat around my pectoral. But I work out all the time so the muscle hides it and you cannot really notice it. By the way 90% of guys experience Gyno, and for 10% the Gyno does not go away just a stat I found off of gyncomastia.org.

So with that out of the way, my question is for people that had a slight case of Gyno before they went on finasteride (meaning just puffy nipples nothing really noticeable) did finasteride cause your Gyno to increase in size?

I Figure there has to be some member on here that has a slight case of Gyno and also has used finasteride

Thanks for your responses!

Yeah finasteride made it worse. It's still not that bad 'cause I have some muscle in that area but I certainly know the difference.

Some more questions GHG:

1. How do you rate your Gyno before starting finasteride out of 10, with 1 being a chest without Gyno and 10 being full on male breasts

2. How long did you take finasteride before you noticed a change in your Gyno

3. Do you work out/did you continue to work out while on finasteride?

4. Any other life style changes (increased consumption of alcohol, increased marijuana smoking or any other changes)

5. Did you gain any weight on finasteride? (Possibley sensitive to estrogen)

6. Did you get any other side effects from finasteride prior to your gyno worsening

I just want to gauge where you are at, what you did before and how bad your gyno got just to see if I follow a similar route. Right now I am a bit over a month on finasteride with no change to my Gyno.

Buy a tube of Andractim and be done with it.

I may do that Enden, but I will deffinetely talk with my GP before I do that and would buy it from a pharmacy not online

I usually prefer to take no drugs, I will be cutting about 10 pounds and seeing if that will make a difference. BTW I am not overweight by cutting 10 pounds I will be extremely lean and muscular looking.

Enden this is mainly a question for you, but anyone else with expertise in this area feel free to reply

Could I just take daily zinc? This would lower my estrogen correct? Therefore less likely that my gynocomastia will progress?

How many mg's of zinc should I take and what kind? Is it safe to be on zinc supplements indefinitely? (Probably around 3-5 years whenever I can get a chance to switch to CB or RU)

Thanks for the help

It could help but zinc isn't all that powerful and wouldn't often be seen as something that would be overly useful with gyno.

The only risk of zinc is copper deficiency. You might want to take small amounts of copper if you're taking around 50-100mg of zinc daily to help offset any such effects.

Zinc (preferably picolinate) may help, but if you don't have any sexual side effects, I recommend Andractim. I don't care to explain much in detail, but I believe that gynecomastia without any other side effects, is caused by slight DHT deficiency, which makes breast tissue accumulate over time. Andractim is therefore the appropriate treatment. Rub in a small drop around the breast whenever needed. If you do have sexual side effects, I recommend that you quit.

1. Maybe a 3.

2. Only days after starting. Sensitive nipples and sensitive "breast" area.

3. Well I didn't really work out back then but I've been working out for the past 3 or so years.

4. Nothing back then.

5. Nope, vice versa.

6. Yeah, dripping urine, weaker erections, watery sperm, slight penile curviness, etc. Mostly penile changes. At the same time with gyno, not prior to it.
