Will nolvadex help with gynocastmia?

headhawg7 · 20-Aug-04, 04:30 PM

I have had gynocastmia for several years, man boobs, because of Anavar use when I was 14 and 15 years old. It is the hardest body fat or build up of tissue to lose while I am trying to cut my BF down. Right now my BF is 16%. Will the Nolvadex "help" to reduce the gynocastmia while I am doing my cardio, lifting and eating healthy? Thanks

PS, this may sound a little strange but sometimes I feel a little feminine, like maybe my testosterone levels are shot. I am not a chemist but could my testosterone and estrogen levels be out of whack dating back 13 years to the Anavar I was taking. I am now 28 yrs old.

If you are really worried about your "T" levels, I would get them tested at the Dr.

I can't advise on the Nolvadex but I can say i'm very anti-chemical/steroid. I would keep burning the fat off and doing some serious chest building to "fill out" the extra fat.

Nolva probably wont do anything for previous gyno, only currently developing tissue. It couldnt hurt to try it, but I would go and get a thyroid and metabolic panel done to see where you stand. I highly doubt though that your test levels are abnormal, but anything is possible. Good luck.

Also, I know its been a long time ago, but do you remember what kind of dosing it was of the Anavar ?? If it wasnt very high, which I doubt it was because its so expensive, than you should have had minimal impact on your HPT Axis, or your hormones.

There is nothing that can reverse Gyno. Nolva will only prevent any further damage. If you feel "feminine" it's not your test levels. Have your levels checked by a Dr. There is a certain acceptable level range for testosterone at your age. If you are to low it is highly possible that the Dr. will persribe replacement theropy. Probably with deca. As long at its monitored by a physician you should be fine.

By the way, what the hell were you thinking going in var at 14 or 15. Dewd, your natural test levels at that age are through the roof. When you see your Dr. tell him the truth about your past usage. It will help him diagnose things that can make you feel more "manly". LOL

When I was younger at 14 years old as a freshman, I was SO short (4'8") that I was mentally affected by the taunting, teasing and everyday hassle from being that height. My parents took me to a specialist and after tests, the Dr. told me my body was way behind my age. He told me that he could prescribe me a steroid to help my growth BUT I may grow boobs due to the fact that I was starting puberty. I opted to wait it out just because of that. I didn't know it was called gyno until later in life but i'm glad I hadn't done that because when I finished my sophmore year and started my junior I grew alot. I am now 5'10" and average for a man. All I can say is that I completely understand why a person WOULD go for the medication since, whatever the reason is, it can be a very severe anguish seeing how people treat others these days.

Yeah, I wound up with a small natural case of gyno since I was 11, sticks around even at low bf%...lowest I've been was 10% though. If it is like mine you can't really "fill" it out because all the fat remains in the nipple no matter how low bf% you get. At the same time if it is like mine chances are noone even notices it other than you.

The Doctor prescribed it to me when I was 14 because I was so small. It did help me grow in height and put on weight. I don't remember the dosage but whatever it was it turned me into a very ill tempered person. I remember blacking out and beating other kids to a bloody pulp and sending them to the hospital. I think it was a pretty strong dose because the body builder next door who taught me certain weight exercises begged me for some and he said that it was tough to get. He had me doing reverse barbell curls and within 4 weeks my forearms became huge and still are today. If I had to do it all over again I would definitely opt out. I wish I could sue them bastards.
