GYNCOMASTIA


Background: Gynecomastia is a benign enlargement of the male breast resulting from proliferation of the glandular component of the breast.

Medical Care and Treatment:

* surgical treatment might be considered.

* Clomiphene, an antiestrogen, can be administered on a trial basis at a dose of 50-100 mg PO every day for up to 6 months. About 50% of patients achieve partial improvement in breast size, and about 20% of patients might note complete resolution. Figures vary with the type and duration of gynecomastia. Side effects are rare and include visual problems, skin rash, and nausea.

* Tamoxifen, an estrogen antagonist, is effective for recent onset and tender gynecomastia when used in doses of 10-20 mg PO twice daily. Up to 80% of patients note partial-to-complete resolution of gynecomastia within 3 months. Nausea and epigastric discomfort are the main side effects.

* Other drugs used less frequently include danazol and testolactone.

* Danazol, a synthetic derivative of testosterone, inhibits pituitary secretion of LH and FSH, which decreases estrogen synthesis from the testicles. Dose used for gynecomastia is 200 mg PO twice daily. Complete resolution of breast enlargement has been reported in 23% of cases. Side effects include weight gain, acne, muscle cramps, fluid retention, nausea, and abnormal liver function tests.

* Testolactone, a peripheral aromatase-inhibitor, has been used with varying success rates (up to 40% decrease in size) in doses of 150 mg PO 3 times per day for 6 months. Nausea, vomiting, edema, and worsening of hypertension have been reported with its use.

nice

[normalphyscho]

read that only nolvadex (tamoxifen) blocks estrogen receptors in breast tissue not anywhere else. I think the best info I read was on drugs.com in the physicians section or something.

I've heard that this is successful in about 75% of people who use this type of therapy.

I've actually seen studies showing this works to at least reduce gyno if not eliminate it.

I've heard the same as well....

When using up to 80mg ed for about 4 weeks, my small lumps turned into even smaller lumps. I have no problem with them right now, Im not using a single anti- e, I just know not to run dbol anymore. Supposedly, dbol aromatizes into a stronger estrogen more capable of causing gyno than when test aromatizes.
