uneducated gyno question

gaijin · 07-09-2004, 08:12 AM

Hi,
About 3 years ago(when i was 25) i started taking nortesten and anotesten by muscletech.It said on the bottle if any sensitivity in the nipples occurs discontinue use,which i did(was only on the stuff a few weeks).My nipples did look puffy but thought nothing of it(thought they may have been like that before and i was being paranoid or maybe it was just fat).
Now to the present day:-I haven't touched any kind of prohormone since but it does still play on my mind now and then.
My question is,if this was/is gyno would the effects gradually get worse even though i don't take anything now or does my own hormone level return back to normal?
May sound like a dumb question to some of you but i really have no knowledge of this kind of thing.

It is highly unlikely that a permanent case of gyno would occur from the use of weak prohormones like the MuscleTech brand. Most cases of gyno will disappear after discontinuance of hormonal products as your body reinstates homeostasis. However, and I'm 99.9% sure this NOT you, some people that use steroids for many years end up with permanent gyno which must be removed surgically.

Run a search for gyno and nolva/nolvadex, there's a whole ton of postings on this topic.

It sounds like you need to determine whether you have gyno or not - do your pecs look anything like this

Thanks for the replies guys.
I wouldn't say it looks as bad as the pix on the link,but my nipple doesn't follow the line of the pec(i.e.-when i tense my pecs my nipple doesn't tense,still kinda "fleshy").
It isn't that noticable and other people say they can't tell but i was paranoid in case it could still get worse even though i don't take anything now.
Gopro has certainly eased my mind a bit,thank you for that

Glad to help. Some people also have a bit of gyno naturally.
