Consider Tamoxifen before deciding to have an expensive surgery for gynocomastia

[Onision]

A study was done on the use of Tamoxifen on patients of ages 12 through 62 years of age, this was the result.

At six months gynecomastia disappeared in 26 patients (62%), but relapsed in 27%. All gynecomastias caused by drugs with antiandrogen activity disappeared. Fifty two percent of gynecomastias over 4 cm and 90% of those of less than 4 cm in diameter disappeared (p<0.05). Fifty six percent of gynecomastias lasting more than two years and 70% of those of a shorter duration disappeared (p=NS). Two patients had diarrhea or flushes associated to the therapy.

That sounds nice, but without the information about the source and numbers of people treated it is really rather meaningless.

I believe the use of Tamoxifen for Gynecomastia is still "off Label" and that says a lot.
