Gynecomastia Treatment (Extra Strength Version)

From the National Center for Biotechnology Information: “Gynecomastia is a relatively common disorder. Its causes range from benign physiological processes to rare neoplasms. In order to properly diagnose the etiology of the gynecomastia, the clinician must understand the hormonal factors involved in breast development. Parallel to female breast development, estrogen, GH, and IGF-1 are required for breast growth in males. Since a balance exists between estrogen and androgens in males, any disease state or medication that can increase circulating estrogen or decrease circulating androgen, causing an elevation in the estrogen to androgen ratio, can induce gynecomastia Once gynecomastia has been diagnosed, treatment of the underlying cause is warranted. If no underlying cause is discovered, then close observation is appropriate. If the gynecomastia is severe and of recent onset, however, medical therapy can be attempted and if ineffective, glandular tissue can be removed surgically.”  The first this field will work to do if to work to find the underlying cause and heal it. Next it will seek to cause apoptosis to the excess breast tissue cells. 

 “Although estrogens and progestogens are vital to mammary growth, they are ineffective in the absence of anterior pituitary hormones thus, neither estrogen alone nor estrogen plus progesterone can sustain breast development without other mediators, such as GH and IGF-1. This was confirmed by studies involving the administration of estrogen and GH to hypophysectomized and oophorectomized female rats, which resulted in breast ductal development. The GH effects on ductal growth are mediated through stimulation of IGF-1. This is demonstrated by studies of estrogen and GH administration to IGF-1 knockout rats that showed significantly decreased mammary development when compared to age-matched IGF-1- intact controls. Combined estrogen and IGF-1 treatment in these IGF-1 knockout rats restored mammary growth (6, 7). In addition, Walden et al. demonstrated that GH-stimulated production of IGF-1 mRNA in the mammary gland itself, suggesting that IGF-1 production in the stromal compartment of the mammary gland acts locally to promote breast development. Furthermore, other data indicates that estrogen promotes GH secretion and increases GH levels, stimulating the production of IGF-1, which synergizes with estrogen to induce ductal development. In a population-based study of healthy school boys and adolescents, IGF-I levels were found to be elevated in boys with pubertal gynecomastia compared with boys without gynecomastia, suggesting that the GH-IGF-I axis may be involved in the pathogenesis of pubertal gynecomastia”   So if the presence of IGF is the determining factor to gynecomastia its removal from your bloodstream is of the utmost importance in treatment as well as updating your body’s instructions so as to create permanent effect.  

 For example, in the more complete forms of androgen insensitivity syndromes in genetically male (XY) patients, excess androgen aromatizes into estrogen resulting in not only gynecomastia, but also a phenotypic female appearance. Furthermore, the biologic effects of over expression of the aromatase enzyme in female and male mice transgenic for the aromatase gene result in increased breast proliferation. In female transgenics, over expression of aromatase promotes the induction of hyperplastic and dysplastic changes in breast tissue. Steroid use can also result in gynecomastia. Too much testosterone, too much androgen will cause gynecomastia. Sense this is a general field the person who clicked this may be struggling for this reason. Overwhelming their bodies with more hormones would make it worse. For this reason, I am including a hormone balancing effect directed at this issue. That way it can find a targeted approach unique to you.  The loss of excess breast tissue so quickly will likely result in loose skin, so this field aims to act as a skin tighten and healing effect to the chest area. It will also work to heal any psychological issues that may have resulted in dealing with these issues.  

 I believe this would also be useful for those transitioning FTM and wish to have their body match their identity.
