I've seen SO MANY gyno posts lately it's nuts. This fear has spread like wildfire, that pretty soon we will start accusing and burning bodybuilders at the stake...saying "He has the gyno in him!!!!"
I'm here to dispell some of your worries.
PAIN - "But doc it hurts if I do this..... 'Then Don't do that!'"
Let me tell you people pain with gyno is excrutiating. I can remember being a young lad at the school gym locker room and having somebody push me, and having it hurt immensely. I remember a green sweater that was too heavy to wear because it made my nipples hurt. Meanwhile you got these guys saying "I think it hurts if I press here" ... BULL - CRAP! It hurts because your jabbing your damn finger into your chest UNTIL IT DOES! DONT DO THAT!
Irritation - If you contiously play with your damn nipples they are going to start to hurt and your going to come on here and create a thread about it. Leave them alone. If they are growing at an unstoppable rate or cry out in pain when you put your t-shirt on it's one thing. But stop poking and proding. You'll know when it starts to hurt for real, trust me.
Size - Ok here is a good one. "My nipples are getting bigger". That's actually a legitamate concern. The thing is that with increased test comes increased estrogen comes increased water bloat. So during PCT alot of guys will think they are getting gyno because their nipples get bigger. Actually, even though estrogen is not binding to the receptor making your breasts grow, estrogen is present and is causing you to look bloated, combined with the fears already in your mind YOU HAVE IT!!!! Think again. Run an AI and wait a week. They will probably go down. Actually alot of the puffys I had went down after my hormones leveled out.
Genetics - I was born with a predisposition for gyno. More importantly, chest fat. Alot of guys will hold fat in their chest, just because that's how they're made. Don't like it? Take it up with God when you die. Because there's nothing you can do about it other than exercise and worry about something more important. Other guys have "Psuedogynecomastia" which is alot of chest fat commonly mistaken for gyno. It's not estrogen reeking havoc Bubba, it's those twinkies you've been sneaking into the bathroom.
Itchiness - The one reason I can think of with itchy nipples is either a) clothing, detergent could cause you to itch or become irritated. b) A rogue chest/nipple hair. Usually the itching associated with gyno is unbearable and turns into a burning sensation. I suppose this is one fear you should take seriously. Dose a SERM and see if it goes away.
Lactation - Holy shitbat man see a doctor or start popping P5P. I have no excuse for this so get your prolactin levels checked.
-------------------
Part 2: Steroids If you can't stand the heat get the **** outta the kitchen.
If your known to be prone to gyno, why are you doing steroids? Oh, Because you want to get big? Well ... we have products that will kill or limit estrogen binding to your receptor. So use them and shut up.
Seriously, all these guys are saying "OMG I ran 3 weeks of Superdrol which isn't supposed to aromatize and I GREW BOOBS!"
Well you weren't ready for steroids. Despite the claims these are ANABOLICS you are taking and despite the label your body is a living breathing hormonal environment that isn't as clear cut and dry as you think.
So what do I do? I think I have gyno
Well if your STILL worried after reading that then go pick yourself up an AI (6bromo, 6oxo, ATD) and run that. You could also pick up a SERM but those are kind of hard to find for some people so you could always go with an AI. Like I said we have products designed to combat these sort of things so if you plan on running steroids you better plan on knowing alot about these.
The real gyno
Lastly I want to say Don't rule out a doctor. If your having problems well after your cycle, then you should see an endocrinologist. It's all fun and games to self medicate and play with your hormone levels, but when your body does it on it's own there are serious problems that could lead to serious health effects down the road.

The final word
Gyno is not fun. I've had it for years and it plagues me. But there's too much hysteria about it going on. If your going to run steroids, it's going to happen. If your not willing to pay the price and have some tata's to show for your 20" arms then your not ready to use AAS. Get educated about preventitive measures or just stick to hard work and steak tips like generations before drugs have done. There's more than enough information on these boards to tell you how to combat a flare up. So search for it or you could even PM me. But don't start creating hysteric threads that clutter this nice message board we have.
Be safe and have fun
