puffy nipples low estro - blood work

[whoremoan]

was slowly upping my cruise when i starting forming puffy nips - with small gyno lump

got my bloods done

testosterone 32.4 (range 8.0 - 30.0)
free test 1093 (range 170-500)
prolactin 4.5 (range <20.0)
oestradiol <60 (range <150)
progesterone 2.4 (range <4.1)
shbg 13 (range 17 - 66 )


why would i be getting slight gyno/puffy nips?

also any idea on what to do from here on ?

thanks milton, me too, only other thing i can think of is i just stopped taking phentermine.. was pretty much bed ridden for 2 days.. felt extremely drained... i made a thread of this and someone predicted it to the t .... could be gyno rebound? (which i doubt) took .33 of 2 days ago incase ready to taper up and low estro sides hit me like a brick ... also when i was on phentermine it pulled every bit of water out of me , and my nipples were the most rock hard ive ever seen them ... so could it be water retention (but just under my nipples?) making my nipples 'bloated'? i dont feel a 'pea' shape under my nipple, but something small moving? and they are really puffy... i had 1 doc years ago take an ultra sound... the guy who took the ultrasound said it looked like there was something under there, but the doc straight up said there was no gyno ... i went to another doc a week ago to get these bloods and he said every single man on the planet has a small case of gyno ?? is this doctor on hes own meds or is he right?

also whats with the low shbg? could it be anything to do with this ? what does low shbg mean?

Maybe after a few weeks when your hormones start to stabilize the puffy nipples will go away. If once your hormones stabilize and the puffiness doesn't go away I would personally try raloxifene. I cant think of any other advice sorry man. I know a lot of strange things can happen to people when they mess with there hormones that are very difficult to get to the root of.

does low shbg mean theres more estro floating around? could my estro have bounced back that quick?? or am i on the wrong track?
ive had my estro pretty high once, but fully thought it was the nolva giving fake readings-because i felt fine, no sides whatsoever.. sex was great, training was great - prob best shape id ever been in .. maybe my test gets dumped to e2 more than others?? i honestly doubt it tho just throwing that theory out there

also im sweating just laying here, muscles feel weak, lethargic as fuck, looking pale aswell if thats any more clue?

I would guess you need some food if you're sweating, weak, lethargic and pale. This is what happens to me when my blood sugar is low.

I also get very puffy (nipples especially) when I eat an excess of processed carbohydrates (breads/pastas), and/or any dairy product containing lactose. If your blood results are good, then maybe it's a food intolerance.

If you want to test it. Remove everything but chicken breast (whole), a green vegetable (frozen or fresh), and pure olive oil for cooking. Eat just that for a couple days. Implement a starch (potato, rice, bread, etc.), one at a time. If you react negatively.. you'll know where the problem lies. Remove the problem, and keep searching until you know exactly what your body agrees with and what it doesn't.

It will only take a month at most to dissect the problems. After that.. you'll only deal with developed intolerances over your lifetime. It will be worth it if you put the work in.

chears mate, good advice... but heres a new update... im feeling a small lump under right nipple smaller than a pea... and it moves when i feel it, like i can guide it left,right, up and down !! could it just be the gland or fat tissue or something???? is gyno rock hard and unmovable???

could this be rebound?! as those bloods were taken last week!?

getting random boners and sex drive is still fine.. wtf ??

Why were you slowly upping your cruise? If you're forming tissue in under your nipples, or breast area.. you may want to slowly lower your cruise now.

If you're wanting to be EXTRA proactive (I recommend being that guy)... buy Raloxifene (RUI is 20% off right now I think), run 2 bottles at 60mg a day until gone. Pray it doesn't continue developing.

If it does, and hardens, and you're treating it.. and it's still progressing.. start setting money back for surgery. 5k on average.

i was slowly increasing and then it happened... its smaller than a pea, i dont exactly feel other mens nipples so i dont know ? it could be normal and im being paranoid? it could be a gland im feeling ??

as for the drained lethargic feeling i was saying earlier,,, turned out to be the flu.. i woke up 2 nights ago throwing up.. still feeling drained it hit me like a brick

and i tried rui ralox last year, got bloods done and my estro was high, so either ralox messes with bloods and gives fake estro readings or it was bunk ???

 

[whoremoan]

by the way i should add, its not a circular lump.. its more like tissue ? and when i get out of shower its perfectly fine... if it was gyno wouldnt it be there no matter what ? cold/straight out of shower etc it would be there if it was gyno ??? im starting to think im being a paranoid little bitch.... lol

I have a slight case of gyno in both nipples and I notice that with temperature changes it becomes very hard to notice or even feel. If you have a slight case of gyno it might be hard to notice some times and other times it might be very noticeable. When I'm cold it doesn't really look like I have gyno but if its normal temperature I can notice it a lot. Running raloxifene and getting your estrogen to normal levels again would be your best bet at reversing it or keeping it at bay. I think you should probably hold of on any cycles until you get the possible gyno under control. If you do end up getting gyno it is not the end of the world most people who cycle end up getting some sort of side effect eventually. I recommend just staying calm and doing everything in your power to keep the possible gyno under control. I think once you have your estrogen at normal levels and your testosterone at normal levels for a month or two you will get a better idea about what is going on.
