Thankyou for writing this. I am just about to go for the fourth operation to remove glandular tissue from steroid use. I have tried all the AI/SERM routes and nothing gets rid of the hard glandular tissue. Its one nipple in particular where it comes back time and time again with the 'head and tail' symptoms often described by steroid users
I have no pain when mine comes on. hard lumps simply form in days and months of AIs does nothing to remove the glndular tissue other than surgery
I would like to know about the removal of the actual glands and the success rates of doing this to stop the return of the glandural tissue. I am very lean and didnt have pubertal gyno, it simply comefrom using steroids.
Has anyone found it to be effective to remov a gland or both. I would be happy t keep one gland and se if its possible to have the other removed as its getting beyond a joke

Any thoughts?

I'm sort of confused, this is your fourth operation?

Correct, regardless of AIs used the glandular tissue returns. I have it removed and then it returns long after PCT and op...the use letro or nolva and it doesnt go after every protocol tried...so I have it removed again

Question being:

Has anyone had the gland removed succesfully so it cannot return?

I don't think it's necessarily possible to remove the gland itself, but merely the tissue which proliferates around it.

Was it not something you have researched when writing the piece here?

Surgeries remove the proliferated tissue, but not the gland. As well, once the gland has been stimulated by E1/P, it remains susceptible to further proliferation and growth. Nothing but avoiding A.A.S. completely will make you invulnerable to Gyneocomastia concerns; even then, any product that modulates hormones could have an adverse effect.

How can you say to everyone reading that you probably don't have gyno when in your write up you state that 70% or pubertal boys and 1/3 of adult men have gyno to some extent? And to put things into context those stats are for the general population... in a steriod forum you would think that they would be a little higher. Apart from that there is heaps of good information in there though good work.

for that guy who had 4 operations: i had gyno surgery about 2 years ago. the surgeon said he removed a total of 1 liter of fat/tissue. the lumps went away but not permanently. well...in fact, it may not be breast tissue, but SCAR tissue...feels the same to me. i went to a different surgeon to confirm that it was scar tissue and not breast tissue. in my case, i have a load of scar tissue in my right side. to the point that it practically negates the surgery. it was a risk i knew ahead of time. in your case, if youre going on your 4th surgery, maybe its scar tissue not breast tissue. in which case, surgery....will only create more scarring.

also, if it is scar tissue, ask your doctor about getting an injection of cortisol. apparently, its suppsed to disolve the scar tissue. of course, there are risks involved.

There is a thread on professionalmuscle that goes into detail on surgery from a guy who had it done a few years back, very informative!


2.5 letro is too much? this is the dosage i always hear for LT treatment...

I run a nutrition store and frequently get questions on gyno, and there is one that I have not been able to find an answer to. If someone has gyno for sure is it necessary to have it removed for health/safety reason?

Which nutrition store do you run? What city is it located in?

That figure is ostensibly extended to include cases of psuedogynaecomastia, and not specific glandular proliferation itself. As well, you are omitting that approximately 35-45% of the North American male population is obese; a condition itself associated with higher levels of E/P1, and making glandular proliferation a more likely scenario. This was to point out that 'puffy nipples' and related issues are not gynaecomastia. In fact, I would postulate that, due to fitness-associated regulation of hormonal levels and a reduction of chest adipose tissue, BB'ing board populations are less likely to suffer from Gyno.
