Do you stop testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) if you get gyno till its cleared up? Or keep on with injections?

Do you stop trt if you get gyno till its cleared up? Or keep on with injections?

Just wondering if a person gets gyno while on trt do they have to stop injections till its cleared up?

TRT is for Life. You get an Aromatise Inhibitor prescriber by your doctor.

Stopping abruptly without AIs may aggravate the problem.

k thanks, yeah I have been on it about 2 1/2 years now time to get put on an ai

A lot of Endo's don't know about AI's and the importance of E2 management in a TRT protocol, let alone prescribe them...believe it or not.

agreed! you may start a low dosed SERM while waiting for your increase in Aromatase inhibitor (AI) dose ot take on full effect. but no, you stay on HRT.

I really got confused cause my primary dr was trying to tell me to stop the injections till it gets cleared up, and I was thinking that's not gonna happen! He is not even the dr that gives me my injections. Really weird I called my uro about it and they told me I needed to see my primary dr so I saw him and he told me he wouldn't prescribe me anything! lesson learned the hard way!

Thanks everybody!

You continue T therapy and administer gynecomastia therapy.

I don't believe that an endocrinologist would be unaware of aromatase inhibitors. There are many, however, that are not up to date on their knowledge to make better assessments.

I see my trt dr tomorrow who is a Urologist and should be putting me on aromasin or whatever its called. But when the gyno popped up I called the office to come in sooner and was told by them I needed to see my primary dr which seemed crazy, so I saw him and he said I need to see my endo.

Here's some reading you can do on gynecomastia if you like.
