Hello, everyone / doctors

First of all, short gyno history: I took propecia September to October, but stopped because I was developing gyno. The gyno started subsiding, so on December, I started taking propecia again. Gyno developed again so I stopped after a month. It's been more than 2 months now since I stopped. The gyno symptoms have begun to subside, but then just last week it started again. I don't know if I can attribute this to propecia or some other medicine I'm taking.

Anyway, I went to an endocrinologist and I was told to give it 2 weeks. After that I'll have my hormones checked. However, the gyno is progressively starting to get worse. Should I call the doctor and ask if I can schedule the test earlier or should I follow her 2 week advice? I'm worried that the gyno might form hard lumps already (I have puffy nipples). Thank you for reading.

Give it the two weeks and then return to your endocrinologist.
