Puffy nipple solutions? (serious)

Jim Jitsu · 07-10-2007, 12:19 AM

Now I know I am not of age to use steroids, and don't intend on taking them.

I have puffy nipples (from puberty) that I want to get rid of. Is there any way that I can get rid of them without surgery?

I posted it here because it seems to be a side effect of steroids. All help is appreciated.

What is your body fat %?? I had the same problem caused by puberty and the problem corrected itself after I lost some fat. Usually when it's puberty related, the problem corrects itself, caused by horomone fluctuations. Of course I was a classic case of a girly man. High pitched voice, man boobs, small testicles, ass that stuck out and weird PMS mood swings. I was very feminine until I lost weight, then once I lost the weight it seems my hormones balanced out and I became more manly. Then I became a badass :P You COULD try Nolvadex to see if that would work but I'm not really sure if it would help if you have had it for years, you could try it though..... I heard of a PH called Epistane or something like that which supposedly completely eradicates gyno. I think more pro's need to shine some light on this thread though.

well, the guy looks pretty lean from the avatar. But I would say that if the gyno is from a long time ago (as in years, not weeks) then he will probably need surgery. If you are obese, then obviously losing weight is a better start then going under the knife.

Thanks, I'll look into the Nolvadex, I've heard that before as well. I'll also look into Epistane, but is that some kind of cream or something?

I am pretty lean, I am about 7-8% bf, so I know it isn't because I am fat or anything. I haven't had it too long, it actually just sprang up about 4 months ago, I went to the doc about it and he confirmed that it was a small case of gyno, he said it would probably just go away though, but it hasn't. So I was just looking for some kind of OTC method I could use to get rid of it ASAP.

Anybody know if I used more than one product would I get better results?
All help appreciated.

look into letro.

know_power · 07-10-2007, 05:49 PM

Epistane or letro ... best bet is EPISTANE

I looked into Epistane, it's kinda pricey, and is a cap. It says that it is area specific, but I don't see how this is possible being that it is in capsules. The good thing I found was that a lot of people reported reduction in gynocomastia. Which is exactly what I'm looking for.

Is letro short for something? Because I couldn't find it.

Keep 'em coming guys, getting awesome responses so far.

_Bladen_ · 07-10-2007, 06:49 PM

If they are just puffy Arimidex, nolvadex, or letrozole

If there are deposits of fat Aromasin

Rob Awesome · 07-10-2007, 06:53 PM

from what i've read.. arimidex alone would be strong enough if you only have puffyness... if you actually have any sort of glandular tissue develop... then look into epistane or letro, but i don't know too much about either of the latter (I'm looking into them myself)

I agree, I think its better off for him to get surgery then put hormones in his body, it could just make it worse in the long run for him.

apollyon9515 · 07-10-2007, 08:00 PM

Yeah surgery would probly be the "best", but its also the most expensive and most people cant afford it. I have gland gyno under one nipple and both are puffy, im also alittle on the fat side around 15~% mostly on my chest/stomach. I have been taking Letro(i think its short for femera), the reason why you probly arent finding it, is because its a "research" chemical, which means we cant post a link.

I would probly try letro, it seemed to make my gyno go away it went from a marble sized hard spot to more of a mushy/fat deposit. Just read up/search about letro/adex/whatever you take before you start to take it.

Good luck, because i know how bad gyno sux, specially for you being lower in bf(i know i hate it and my fat hides it)

x2 good advice for alternative to surgery.

hockey4life28 · 07-10-2007, 08:22 PM

i think i have a similar case, low body fat...minimal gyno, not steriod induced...it came up while i was prolly 15-16, and now im 21...it has never really gotten worse, but it is a pain in the neck...the only time it really bothers me is when its really hot out, my right nip gets really puffy and enlarged and i can see a bit of deposit on the right side..the left is just a lil bit puffy, and has almost no deposit at all...i havent really looked into many products so i would also appreciatte more information...its something i can live with, but it there is a cream/capsule i can used that will minimize it without having an negative effects on my body, id probably be willing to use it...even if it was a bit on the pricey side.

pg13 · 07-11-2007, 12:13 AM

Read this thread... http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...=puffy+nipples I just ordered everything needed which is aromasin, cabergoline, and yohimburn ES and plan on starting midway through my first cycle which is Test E and Winstrol (I'm at week 2 of 10). I too, have pubertal puffy nipples which really suck.

live fast · 07-11-2007, 12:49 AM

pg13 def let us know how that goes, it seems very interesting im in the same boat and would be stoked if it works!!

**scott_donald** · 07-11-2007, 01:15 AM

letrozole as far as all the reading i have done works... and is by far the best...

Now you asked for help bro so I will give you some. Your puffy nips will go away with age. I dont know if you were overweight as a youngster but in time with age, youre still growing and if you are not using aas as you say it will all be cool. Do not take anything to reverse the effects of hormones. Stay away from aas and either give it time or go see a doctor. Do not take anything and you will grow out of it or the doctor will help you out. If it is from gyno and naturally you just got it, you will need surgery and its no big deal and really not that expensive. If you start taking things you will either get worse or cause other hormonal problems. Things for reversal are only cool to take for us because we know what the cause is you dont, You need advise from a doctor with blood tests to see whats up ok. Good luck bro.

Jim Jitsu · 07-11-2007, 11:27 PM

Would it matter if the "puffyness" is firm in my left nipple? My doc already said it was gyno, and said it should go away in a couple of months, but it hasn't.

Well, If your not happy with your doctor either go back or find another doctor. If he or she didnt do blood work and just felt of your chest area they need to do blood work.

I am a nurse and I took an oath when I was sworn in to protect human life. You came into this forum and PMed me to ask for help so I am trying to give it to you. I respected the fact that you were up front and I applaud you for not using steriods. Youre right, you are too young and your growth plates have some time to finish their job. This is an underground world and you are going to get underground information. Not to say that any information is incorrect because most of the meds these bros are talking about does work and works very well, for known AAS users! Its unfortunate that bodybuilding is underground when we want to take our bodys to an extreme (safely) that we have to go underground but we do! So we have boards like this to try to teach others the safe way to use AAS without tearing your body up. This board sees alot of young men like yourself that jump into steriods and they usually get flamed right off the board because they dont understand and usually ask stupid questions but you actually have a legitiment question and here you are.

Go back to your doctor! If you self diagnose and medicate yourself you can do more harm than good. You can cause hormonal / mental problems and other conditions. You may have a problem at a glandular level that is causing your body to secrete hormones at unstable levels and you need a professional to do a work up on you to make sure you dont. Thats not just bitch titties, thats for life bro. Now sure thats a slim chance and may just be gyno and you may be able to just take Arimidex, Letrozole or Nolvadex and go right on with your life but lets say the gyno goes away and you got a gland problem that needs to be taken care of. Im not going to be the one to open that gate and kick ya loose. Check it out first bro and then get on with life. Dont go underground for this **** when you can just call your doc and say hey look heres what I am thinking about taking what do ya think...Thats all I got to say bro. Other than that without surgery youre gonna get about 8 meds in this thread to take and most of the posters have self induced synthetic man made hormones to get bitch tits. Your natural...dont do it! May be a problem in your body! Nuff said

Jim Jitsu · 07-12-2007, 10:13 AM

Ok, I've looked into Letrozole (femara) a little bit, and it is most likely what I'm going to go with, seeing how surgery is just out of the question because I cannot afford it.

http://www.steroid.com/Letrozole.php

That site is where I got some useful knowledge about the product, but it also lists side effects that are less than desireable.

This site lists specific sides:
The common side effects of Femara found are: difficulty in breathing;chest pain; leg pain or swelling; skin rash. Side effects that usually do not require medical attention are: back or bone pain; cough, or throat infection; diarrhea or constipation; dizziness; headache; hair loss; hot flashes; loss of appetite; nausea, vomiting; stomach pain or upset stomach; sweating; weakness or tiredness; weight gain. Do not treat yourself for diarrhea, nausea, vomiting or other side effects.

I guess another question would be, if all these side effects are listed, is it worth it? I say yes, but I am wondering what you all think.

Another thing I was wondering, has anyone tried it on this site? Or know what dosages to take? I read that in between .25mg-5mg is ok, but they are not specific in what they mean, is that a day? twice a day? what?

Thaknk you very much sir, I do very much plan to talk with my doctor again about it. The last time I went to them they did do blood work, and his tone was non-chalant when I got the test results back and just said it was gyno (which I had expected that it was) and didn't really get specific to tell me that it was a glandular problem. I for sure will talk to him again.

The main reason why I am asking for specific product names is because I want to shoot him specific ideas I am having. I want to go into the doc with a little bit of knowledge with whats going on.

One last question before I make an appointment. Are the products that are being suggested in this thread typical prescriptions that a doctor would prescribe after diagnosing gynocomastia? I mean if they aren't then I would like to read up on what they would typically prescribe so I know what I am getting myself into. It looks like this is going to be about as tricky a situation as I thought. But I am extremely thankful for all the knowledge and insight that you have given. (It's even more awesome knowing that you are a nurse)

Aldude2 · 07-19-2007, 11:48 AM

losing fat wont necessarily make it go away.infact its very unlikely unless you are fat as hell.not just a little bit fat.I have it too since puberty eventhough I am hardly fat.Right now I am trying HIgh LIgnan Flax seed oil and powder to see if it can help as it has shown to reduce breast cancer tumors and might work in this regard.So give this a try ,everything else will pretty much cause side effects which are very difficult to deal with including NOlvadex which causes rebound.

bigbuff420 · 07-19-2007, 12:04 PM

Hey dude, your 19 don't listen to any of us here and go trying things. You have a natural problem, just visit your doctor let him know whats up and he can help you out best. Maybe he will give you nolvadex etc etc, but it's better to let him know since this is a problem occuring from growth.

Kraftydog · 07-19-2007, 05:48 PM

letrozole is good for on cycle treatment where estrogen is VERY high. I typically reccomend aromasin for both on and off cycle use, lower dose off cycle unless estrogen is high (usually due to higher bodyfat)

For gyno treatment with puffynipples, aromasin + cabaser, one or the other may suffice but many cases will require both. Though I am also getting a lot of good reports from people using AIFM, especially direct application often in combination with cabaser. But since I have not used AIFM, I wont give it as a primary reccomendation.

If you have chest fat, yohimburn ES (or other topical yohimbine).

vance.leong · 07-19-2007, 06:30 PM

check this out go to a plastic surgeon ask him for the shot for gyno. he inject this steroid not a test steroid but an inflammatory steroid. it should only cost around 50 per side. try it

creativedesignz · 07-19-2007, 07:18 PM

i can understand people giving this kid advice for surgery and going to the doc and what not, but recommending a PH like epistane or havoc to a 19 year old honestly isnt the smartest thing. What could be him simply experimenting with havoc could cause more bad than good.

Rhino1984 · 07-19-2007, 07:41 PM

I was in the same boat mate, when I was your age I was lifting weights with no assistance because I was too young at 19 but I started getting really sore nipples it felt like they had been cut off. A lump the size of a bb pellet then appeared under my nipples and were extremely tender. I'm 23 now and those lumps are completely gone, my nipples are puffy at the moment because my bodyfat is a little high I always put weight on in winter lol. When I took steroids I made sure I took nolvadex from the beginning and continued taking it as part of my PCT, I didn't get any lumps or puffiness which is great. If you haven't used steroids leave your body alone, if it doesn't go away by the age of 24, 25 then think about getting surgery. People believe puberty last until 18-21, it can last until age 25, so hold off on doing anything, other than controlling your bodyweight. If you still have a problem by 25 get the surgery.
The only problem I have now is when I put on padding for winter, so I don't worry about it because hell it's winter it's a good time to bulk without having to worry too much about bf% except when it gets near 20%. Summer comes around the padding is gone and so has the puffyness. I was impatient when I was 20 and wanted the gains quickly, if I had my time over I would have waited until now to do my first cycle. You shouldn't do anything about your body mate, just keep training and eating healthy assess yourself when you are older.

Kraftydog · 07-20-2007, 03:36 PM

There are a lot of indications that nolva makes puffy nipples worse, especially if used after progestin type steroids
