testosterone gel for gyno??

[BirminghamGYNO]

Hi

I am 22, 5ft 8 and weigh 140lbs. I am in the same position as fp who posted a message about puffy nipples. I have lived with gyno since i was 13 and after watching a channel 4 documentary which made me aware of what it was, i decided to contact a surgeon. The surgeon that i saw did not fill me very much confidence and made me scared about abnormalities and looking work that i do already ( i also can't really afford £2600). Gyno is affecting me mentally that much tho, its really getting me down, so i can't do nothing. I found this website www.allsaintsclinic.org who are selling testosterone gel, which they say can help with gyno. Does this work? Has anyone tried it? Or is it a con and is surgery the only answer?
Please Help.

I think with proper gyno the only option is surgery.  Dont quote me on that though.  Try asking in some of the other forums here and see if you get a better response.

I think the first step should be to find out if your gyne has any underlying cause such as hormonal problems.  If you’ve had gyne since puberty then you are likely to be ok, but if there are hormonal imbalances then get those fixed before considering surgery.

You say you have consulted a surgeon ... did you see a General Practitioner (GP) first and discuss options other than surgery?  I would suggest you take great care before self-medicating, adding testosterone to your endocrine system could actually make things worse.  I think a good chat to your GP would be the best idea.

Good luck.

thanks for your advise and no i hadn't consulted a GP before going to the surgeon. I did a while ago, but by the time he'd arranged an appointment with a specialist, i'd moved and could get back to see him! Now i'm having trouble getting a practice to take me on in my area! I guess i already know i should see a GP first, its just hard sometimes and you become impatient and want rid!
