All you get to know about gyno
gynecomastia is commonly called as gyno. this would be popular among bodybuilders and fitness freaks ( who abuse PEDS). even its quite popular among sedentary adults. before dive in deep let me confess about gynecomastia.
Gynecomastia
The enlargement of mammal gland in male chest is called as gynecomastia. this issue can happen by possible in two ways, either by birth or abusing PEDS ( performance enhancing drugs). the amount of breast gland tissue for boys or men's can increase due to hormonal imbalance. some male had pesudogyno which mean just increase in fat around the nipple, not an glandular increase. it can be cured by reducing fat. this type of issue don't need any surgery. in the other type they have glandular increase, so they cannot fix it, just by reducing fat for those case must go with surgery to fix their chest shape.
The third category is abuse of PEDS (steroids), the people belong to this category they purposely inject testosterone hormones to enhance their muscle growth and with help of some other drugs. those drugs increase the productivity of estrogen hormones and cause gyno. the bodybuilder or an athlete who abusing PEDS will everybody know about gyno. this type of gyno can clearly visible especially in low body fat percentage. even it will make Sevier pain around the nipple. and it become hard surface around the nipple.
How gynecomastia affect my body?
It can be seen as a button size growth underneath the nipple. you may able to see this as breast lump or feel it when you press on that area. the lump may move easily within the breast tissue and may be tender to touch. breast and breast enlargement may occur in one or both breast. it is most common male breast disorder. it affects between 50% to 65% boys and men world wide.
How to diagnose?
It can be diagnosed by medical professionals (gynecologist) by symptoms. and also diagnosed by performing physical exam and family history. a blood test also be recommended to check the hormone level of the person. because both gyno and breast cancer will cause breast lamp, the most common wats are mammogram and breast ultrasound. there are multiple ways to diagnose the gyno. okay after your are identifying the gyno issue, let me explain the protocols to be followed once you ended up badly. there are several questions were run in mind.
when should consult doctor?
If I not taken it as a big deal, it will affect my body?
what are the precautions to be taken?
Before answering those questions let me explain, how gynecomastia happens by birth, puberty and adulthood.
Birth- do you know more than half of the new born male babies have enlargement breast, this condition is due to mother estrogen's level then these will fade away after few weeks.
Puberty- more than half of the teenage boys have some degree of breast enlargement. this is due to hormone fluctuation and also drop of surge in estrogen level and drop in testosterone. these will fade once the hormone will be balanced, this process will take about six month to two years to complete. in some cases they use steroids for muscle growth, it will also causes teens to enlarge their breast tissue.
Adulthood- enlargement of breast issue is more common for men's above age 50, because men's body starts to produce low testosterone naturally, which produce estrogen production and breast tissue to growth
When should consult doctor?
It should be taken in deal when you experienced
nipple swell
itching in chest and underarm
nipple discharge
When you don't consider it as a big deal, it will lead to breast cancer. if better to consult the doctor when you notice unusual change in chest and nipple
Truth about gyno suppressors in bodybuilding
A few athletes might know about gyno suppressors but many don't know about the exact truth in gyno suppressor. before diving it into the deep let me discuss few popular gyno suppressors used by athletes from past few decades there are two types of anti estragon.
selective estrogen receptive modulators (SERMS)
aromatase inhibitors (AI)
I will explain in detail on my another blog. am gonna jump straight to the some popular antiestrogens in the market.
Nolvadex- tamoxifen citrate
This is quite popular among all athletes. it can be taken either intra cycle or post cycle. its used to prevent gynecomastia during the use of steroid and aids in the recovery. its half life was one day. it usually available in 20mgs. it can be taken as low as 10mg (during cycle) to 40mg (during pct.), often drop down to 20mgs after the first two or three weeks depends on components we used and no more 10mg for females.
Notes- not advice to be used by bodybuilders for managing of estrogen for its possible and potential effects on suppression on GH
Clomid- clomiphene citrate
This too quite popular among all athletes. it can be taken either intra cycle or post cycle. its used to prevent gynecomastia during the use of steroid and aids in the recovery. its half life was one day. it usually available in 20mgs. it can be taken as low as50mg (during cycle) to 100mg to 150mg (during pct.), often drop down to 20mgs after the first two or three weeks depends on components we used and no more 10mg for females.
Notes- not advice to be used by bodybuilders for managing of estrogen for its possible and potential effects on suppression on GH
Lot of men can suffer from the risk of gynecomastia while using anabolic steroids, due to the aromatization of testosterones, 10mg of Nolvadex can usually address this problem. however in some instances, Nolvadex or Clomid wont do the job in that case they might shift to arimidex or aromasin.
When should do surgery?
Let me confess one thing, once gyno occur due to abuse of PEDS, most of them thinks it can be cured by taking gyno suppressors. but the actual truth is we cant, actually those antiestrogen drugs helps to shrink the mammal gland and it wont wipe off completely. once you start the cycle then it will grow again. the best solution is do surgery. even if u don't feel any bulge or pain. because this might leads you to risk of breast cancer.
