help... don't trust my docs advice

[cb11mass]

I am on testim50 gel and my nipples have beeen sooo sensitive and swollen for the last five days.... He said wait a week to see if it stops. Will I develop breast tissue within these next 5 days? or should I push for some nolvadex

What dose are you on?

 

[cb11mass]

50mg of test per day

^^^ I dont like his advice. When gyno forms it rarely leaves. The whole key is to beat it before it arrives. I suggest you either start your own nolvadex or lower your test.

Fourthgen is right, you need to arrest its development.

Agree, the nolvadex can only help you not harm you. Screw waiting.

If you look at the Testim insert inside the box, it says, it "may cause breast enlargement or tenderness". Show that to your doctor and ask for a remedy PRONTO.

I have also been on the same amount of Testim for about 5 months... and just recently started to notice my nipples are a bit sensitive sometimes but not all the time. They sometimes get this weird itchy feeling as well. I already had gyno correction surgery 4 years ago (adolescent gyno, not from AAS) and I havn't noticed any size changes in my nipples since starting TRT... but I would not be pleased if it came back. Also, I think something like 95% of the gland was excised during my first surgery so maybe that reduces the chance of re-occurance. I may look into an AI anyways as it probably can't hurt...

if ur that sensitive to hrt dosages
i would say AI or nolva aint the answer.
running these during a cycle or pct is fine but not 365 days a year with ur hrt.
i get bad nolva sides like vision probs just running it for 4 weeks and AI fuck my immune system up big time i get cold sores and all sorts not things to be run long term.
but id say its probably in ur mind anyway cos 50mg of gel is something like 5mg absorbsion which is nothing to be honest i thought people on hrt got testim100 as a minimum.

I have always switched up. My first cycle id use nolvadex and the next i would use arimidex. I ran it from day one all the way thru pt. I never had trouble with it.

If you have already had Gyno surgery, you should never, ever get it or it's symptoms again. (That's IF the surgery was performed properly).

Oooops... Just read the remainder of your post. I don't know WHY they would opt to leave 5% behind BUT if they did, you still have NO need to EVER worry about developing gyno again.

PS: just because your nipples itch a little, doesn't mean you're actually developing gyno! Itching/tenderness is just a symptom indicating that your estrogen levels may be higher than normal OR that your test levels maybe lower than normal. The ratio of estrogen vs. test is what's important in determining your risk factor for developing Gyno.

If your Dr. is recommending you wait a week or so, I hope it's because he has a recent blood-hormone-profile from you, to support his course of action; or lack there-of.

Ok, so after the post I talked to the doc again and he said if it didn't go away in a few days he would prescribe something. Sure enough the sensitivity is totaly gone, however the nipples are still swolen and pointy. I have had large nipples/excess fat in my chest since puberty.

James did insurance cover your gyno surgery since it was natural and what was the recovery time like?
