I understand theres a hormone called pro-lactin that unfortunatly can be present in males aswell as females, Im under the impression that gyno can be caused from a progesterone aswell as an oestrogen origin, I dont have a bad situation with gyno but for some reason I can get a liquid very small amount from left nipple, I have been using on and off for the last year, using AI and or SERM's because I felt I was prone to gyno (havent worsend the situation). Ive read about Bromocriptin which I think helps with the progesterone related gyno (tren etc), but I think that it helps in reducing pro lactin as well, am I right in thinking this? Would Cabergoline be a better choice, I know that this is used as a sex aid but I think its the reduction in this hormone that allows someone a quicker recovery after sex and therefore might help with my problem.

I've read Dostinex (cabergoline) to be a more potent prolactin antagonist than Parlodel (bromocriptine), a dopamine agonist/prolactin antagonist which can supress your immune system. The secondary sexual side effects are of no consequence in your situation. AI's and SERM's will NOT help gynecomastia in your situation since the gyno is not estrogen related but rather most likely attributed to elevated progesterone and prolactin levels which signal the body to begin lactating. You should see a doctor.

Thank you, I was seeing an endocrinologist about it a while back, but in all the blood tests and axis checks I think it was called they managed to find nothing wrong, Its not that bad at all they said, after reading into it, I was going to try these, do they levels fluctuate? would more blood checks help? I ask that for two reasons, as they didnt find anything, and It isnt a permenant problem, it keeps going and returning. Can cabergoline be used indefinatley and if not is there a rebound effect noticed?

Hmm... I have to use one of my least favorite expressions.... "Hard tellin', not knowin'."

If they found nothing wrong and told you not to worry and you don't feel comfortable with that, then get a second opinion. You have fluid coming out of your nipple. That should raise an eyebrow. Also something to consider is that just being in the normal range doesn't always mean normal. The low side and high sides of certain ranges can be pretty padded. I think you should be able to get that fixed. Keep trying.

im having the same problem now. I dont want to go to the doctor because i fear getting busted or exposing myself because i am on cycle. I have heard that vitamin b6 can help with reducing lactation, is that true? I am taking 400mg ed along with 60mg nolva. I am going to switch the nolva with raloxifene and run it for the next 2 months. I have gyno from puberty and have a flare up in my left nipple. I squeezed it and pus came out so im really worried. Is this the cause of prolactin, could breast tissue be a problem, or could progesterone have anything to do with it.
