He is. People like him are partially responsible for me staying on Finasteride as long as I did back in 2015-2016 and having gyno develop so much. It was all the same sh*t "It'll go away when you stop Fina bro, lose weight, are you sure they didn't look like that before" and what not.

I was also 72 kg @ 177 cm so not even remotely fat, in fact years before that when I actually was fat at 90 kg I had zero gyno problems, so finasteride will increase your estrogen more than 18 kg of fat will and losing weight cannot counter that.
I was on dutasteride for 1.5 years no gyno. Its even worse than finasteride. You just got fat bro it wasnt the finasteride bro. It was all in your head bro.

Now you're just blatant trolling me, I won't bite anymore.
Finasteride raise estrogen but also testosterone. It creates a balance, it would only be possible to get gyno if only estrogen rose and testosterone would stay the same. So yes its all in your head bro.

Testosterone cannot adequately oppose estrogen, so no, there is no balance there. 70% cut in DHT and a 30% rise in estrogen on average means you are now very estrogen dominant on a cellular level.

I could show you a picture of my nipples after a year of Fina if I gave a f***, but you're just a dunning-kruger troll so I won't bother.

It is true that finas has low gyno risk but if you have a very active aromatase enzyme you risk to get gyno is way higher. I, for example, have a strongly reduced aromatase enzyme activity so I can take dutas, finas and use topical bica without getting gyno nor any sexual side effect.

As above, you are clueless.

5AR inhibitors reduce conversion of testosterone to DHT. DHT opposes aromatase, which is why estrogen levels rise. It doesn't create a balance at all, it in fact creates an imbalance and allows aromatase to run wild.

You think you're funny trolling people when the rest of us are trying to help each other.

Yeah I'm gonna hop on it again in a month or so, I'll only do 1.25mg 3x/week. If I get gyno I'll simply get surgery for it and be done.

The problem is, I think I already have gyno from puberty, I don't think finasteride did anything tbh. I'm just afraid of finasteride worsening it because where I live gyno surgery is f*****g expensive, a minimum of $8k CAD.
I would rather be bald than having gyno. Wtf dude, gyno is the worst thing u can get - if u dont want to look as a women tho. Go off and rather work with topical stuff

No. Worst thing is ED. You can fix gyno but you can't fix ED unless you stop meds.

Yeaah i agree. ED > Bald > Gyno. Hm the results i have seen on the surgeries haven't impressed me honestly. You still can se the titts lol

Yeah but being bald don't fit every person. There are people like me who doesn't have good head shape.. I'd rather to get gyno surgery done than expose my asymmetrical head tbh.

finasteride doesn't cause estrogen dominance that's just bro science lol, it's an oversimplification of the gyno problem.

In fact, I'd be willing to bet that if estrogen was the only hormone which stimulated breast development, rates of gyno on finasteride would be much much lower than what they actually are.

Lol of course it makes your estrogen dominate if you take fina, DHT is the most androgenic hormone and biggest "competitor" of estrogen in your body.

Just lol at fina copers.

Here's another fun fact:

Finasteride, sold under the brand names Proscar and Propecia among others, is a medication used to treat hair loss and benign prostatic hyperplasia in men.[6] It can also be used to treat excessive hair growth in women and as a part of hormone therapy for transgender women.[7][8] It is taken by mouth.[6]
First of all, im note even using fina at the moment so dont see how im coping

testosterone exists.... and estrogen increase is very minimal, my bloods show a 10% increase of estro on finas and they stayed in the low normal range. , all im saying is that chalking up gyno to "estrogen dominance" is an oversimplification of why gyno happens on finasteride. androgens inhibit breast growth whilst a wider range of hormones, like prolactin and progesterone as well as estrogens stimulate it. You dont need to be "estrogen dominant" to get gyno lol
