Went to the doc today about a small case of gyno.. She said that everything is fine and that we should just let it go….. Said it wasn’t big enough to look into surgery …. So now I am looking to solve the problem by other means …. Looking for suggestions should I go at it with small dosages of havoc
no. IMHO there are many (to many) things unclear about the pathways in which havoc may or may not do this. also, if you look at the duration of medical studies on gyno reduction, you'll see that those treatments may last up to 9 months. not very advisable for a methylated oral steroid, now is it? you may be lucky, but what do you do if it isn't gone after 4 weeks or so? or if it gets worse after cessation?
or something like letro???
there is a lot of anecdotal feedback on letro for this. personally, i'd take the clinical view an take things which have shown promise in clinical trials at the dose/duration used in those.
e.g. adex, 1mg, 6 months
most studies are on pubertal gynecomastia, but you may try to get the full text of a more relevant case study on:
Treatment of testosterone-induced gynecomastia wit...[Int J Impot Res. 2004] - PubMed Result
e.g. ralo, 60mg, 6 months
again, most studies are on pubertal gynecomastia, where ralo has shown more promise than tamo, for example. however, this is IMHO the safest bet with probably the least sides.
be advised that such a course should not be done without medical supervision, IMHO, as both compounds may have unwanted sides.
failure to resolve gyno through self-treatment is IMHO due to two factors: to much delay between occurence and treatment, and to short duration of treatment (i.e. people "think" its gone, when it's not. premature termination of which may led to rebound/reoccurence.
that's the main issue i have with letro used for this: used at high dose, you cannot prolong the treatment for an extended duration as might be necessary. at least not without inviting certain unwanted sides from the low estrogen, or adapting the dose (IMHO pretty difficult). you'd have to be pretty careful with the dosing, IMHO.
personally, if undertaking such a course of action, i'd always use some kind of prolactin control throughout (cabergoline or P5P).
