The state of medicine, when it comes to male hormones ratios, is sadly lacking. My endo (specializes in osteoperosis & diabetes) in particular keeps saying things are within range or "within tolerance" when levels are clearly out of range and the ratios are backward.
I've been searching for...
Aleksandar37 I think you may have confused a another poster with me, the OP. In response, the endo "specialist" I'm seeing actually specializes in something else, and is quoting me the treatment path off uptodate.com, which is a medical website that anyone can get a subscription to.

Ok, I'm looking for an endo specializing in these issues, and what I've found is a crapshoot. Any suggestions or resources on where to find someone who knows how to deal with this?
No cycles or anything for years, the only thing was a run of Andactrim for 2 weeks a couple months ago to combat gyno. I had to take some other non sterioidal drugs last year and gained some weight, which is when the nipples started to hurt. I lost half the weight and I've been off the drugs for...
Just got some new labs, which changes a few things.
Prolactin at 16 ng/mL, just above range
Estradiol down to 24 pg/mL, high range is mid 40s.
SHBG is at 90, high range is 60.
Still waiting for some others. Perhaps DIM lowered the Estradiol finally. SHBG is obviously way high. The endo is...
Guys, thanks for the replys. :wave2: Please help me break this down.
- What kind of specialist do I see that deals with gland excision, a plastic surgeon? I've also got a good amount of fat developed in this area also, much more than any other place on my body. It's that jiggly fat that's nice...
Puffy. Nipples are flat and enlarged, it's painful when I do anything more than walk. I have minor lumps that I just noticed after trying Andactrim back in Feb. It gets better when I take DIM, but I'm still dealing with high E2/low T symptoms, belly fat and bloating, can't hold back a pee, etc.
I could use some advice on my attempts to combat psuedo & genuine gyno. I've got high estradiol and low T & low DHT. I tried Nolva but couldn't continue due to sides. I've been taking 400 MG DIM and have tried Andactrim also (couldn't maintain high enough dose to be effective due to SE).
I...
There are additional 5AR enzyme pathways, and I was following the logic pathway to infer that 5AR lowers when T & E lower, which is likely relevant to someone in a hypogonadal state like myself.
Regardless, I notice effects in less than an hour after of application, so it's doing something...
Yeah, but I am. I was really sensitive to the 5AR inhibitor I took also. My understanding is the topical andactrim applied to the chest lowers T & E due to the feedback loop, and as a consequence 5AR.
Hi All. I'm treating a recent growth of gyno, less than a year old. The gyno is primarily from elevated prolactin. I started using andactrim (started with half dose) a couple days ago and am not feeling well on it. In general I've lost motivation, got brain fog, fatigue, and my junk seems to be...
