Treatment for Gynecomastia

[ceo]

Hey Bro,I dont want to sound like an ass , but you need to read my first post. I am looking for advice on non-surgical approaches. Please dont criticize me until you do your homework on me, here is my original post to ensure you that I am only looking for non-surgical methods.

" I have a serious quick question. I have had gyno since puberty (about 15 years now) I am getting into bodybuilding pretty heavily now and I am getting concerned with the appearance of my chest. I have gyno and It sucks having it on top of a lot of muscle that I have worked so long for. I figured all of this working out and going from 165 lbs to 280 with 15% bf would help some but hasnt. I read somewhere there are tamoxifen treatments a Dr may try. what are the treatments? are they daily pills taken or what, and if so what are the mg of the pills. the reason i am asking is because i have access to clomid, nolvadex, and other anti-estrogens and i can get them without going to a very embarrasing Dr office visit if you know what I mean. Thanks for any info bros!"

Im not criticizing...Im making observations based on reading your posts (doing my homework). If you'll read through all these posts again, you'll see that it looks as though you tend to ignore advice that would lead you to a non-surgical treatment. Maybe Im wrong. Maybe you read and acknowledged the tamoxifen option, and are just gathering more info on surgery in case you have to go that way.
In any case, have you tried the tamoxifen yet? If not, then try it...it is your best first option. Just take it as I outlined in my first post. Good Luck and if you have any more questions, feel free to pm me.

Good, I thought you were making fun or something. yeah I was reading all of the posts and seeing what I should do. I went to the doc and he took blood to check for prolactin levels. he said if they are up, that possibly means my pituitary gland may have a tumor, making it produce more prolactin which in turn controls your desire for sex. In which I have been suffering from. But there is a med he might put me on, and he did say surgery. he will research it and speak with other docs. I was pretty candid with him in the office, and he understood. he said everything in his office stays in his office. He was pretty cool about it. I told him i had it since adolescence. he said something about a ct scan to check for tumor. Non-cancerous. We will see what he finds out. I am going to hold off on doing this cycle until he lets me know my options.

Good Luck bro. Hope you dont have to have surgery...exhaust your other options first.

cost?

Probably $2000. The state of the art procedure is now to make a small incision at the top outer peck 3-4 inches away from the nipple and use a long suction tube that removes fat and glandular tissue.

I am getting my gyno surgery along with ab etching and getting my love handles lipo'd. The total bill for all of this is about 4 g. For just the gyno by itself it is about 2500 with my doc.

It amazes me that bodybuilders get upset when someone uses synthol or gets plastic surgery but yet most of these same guys are willing to take every drug and supplement under the sun to get big. I honestly don't see what the difference is. IMO there is no distinction between taking drugs/ hormones and getting surgery done. They are both unatural things done to improve or enhance your physique.

The main reason I am getting the lipo done is that I don't want to have to sacrifice all of my size like I have had to in the past to get lean. Yes I can lose these spots on my own and I have done it before times, but like I said I have to go to the verge of anorexia to do so.
