that phenom is not in itself gyno but the degree to which the nips (puff out) indicates the likelyness that (1)you have a concentrated ammount of estrogen receptors at that area, (2) an elevated estrogen level in the bloodstream and (3) fat in the area. shooting pain at the nipps like someone is pulling a hair means that gland formation is right around the corner and you better start the nolvadex.

Yes it is gyno, but mild gyno. Just about every guy has it to a degree. READ that part again I said to a degree, I'm not saying everyguy has titties. If it looks fine when the nipples are tightened up, then the gyno is what a doc would call mild, thats how mine was and my doc didn't even want to do the surgery, cuz he said it was normal. But bodybuilders pay more attention to that shit then regular people and doctors. Don't worry about it for now, if it gets worse, then get the surgery. I was really hung up on mine, got the surgery costed 2 grand, and the doc didn't take enough off, and now the tips of my nips are permantly sensitive all the time. But I guess thats what u get when u stick a knife in there. And I put fat on my chest that I can't get off, so it looks just as bad anyway...Play with the roids awhile and find out what your body is doing before u get all upset about it.

LP is right on with this one. I got told the same thing. It's almost worth it, but you have to go with an experienced doc and he must understand your intentions. Also, if you plan to do any heavy cycles in the near future, I would avoid the surgery until 2 months after you're finished. It would suck to pay for surgery twice. Something else to think about: are you satisfied with your current size? If not, it's all the more reason to wait a bit because you know you're probably going to be doing some heavy gear until you reach the size range you want.

Well maybe I have that excess estrogen receptors someone mentioned but who knows. All I know is I've had this since I was young teen and the dark area of my 'tittie' is probably a little larger in area then the average male. Dunno, we'll see what the doc says about it this Friday. I'll let you guys know.

Guys, try to get your bodyfat down to a pretty low # before you even think of spending 2-G's on an operation. I have the same problem you have, puffy nipps in warm weather and a disposition to store fat on the outer edge of my pecs and around the nips. This happens when my body fat is 8%+ I just reciently got my body fat to between 5-6% and no more puffy nips. Try dieting first!!!

Totally agree Primo man! BodyFat % has a direct relation to the amount of estrogen in a male. Try getting some of the excess off first. I have a large chest and you really can't see any gyno during the off season but I know its there and as I diet down it always reduces dramatically.

I'll try some dieting and cut-up gear and see what happens. Gonna see a doc this week anyways and see what he'll say and I'll pass on the information to this board.
