Funny thing is, excess testosterone, beyond normal values, converts into estrogen and thats when the boobs start to grow.

[–] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Estrogen is stored in the boobs?

[–] Shellofbiomatter@lemmus.org 6 points 4 days ago

Exactly, just like pee is stored in the balls.

They'll be put on anastrazole as well, the gym bros have perfected the process.

[–] Shellofbiomatter@lemmus.org 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah that's one of the ways to limit it.

Though have to be careful with it not to tank estrogen levels completely, turns out men actually do need it as well. Too low estrogen can cause joint pain, fatigue, low libido and hindered muscle growth.

Better to cut down to low bodyfat to limit aromatization as much as possible and then slowly raise testosterone levels to a point where estrogen gets highest tolerable and then add in non-aromatizing steroids, like masteron, which does have a slight benefit of acting like a mild anti estrogenic as well.
Then eat and lift like your life depended on it.

I have Kleinfelter Syndrome, I was on anastrazole until I found an Endo who specializes in hormones. Turns out I was being prescribed way too much testosterone, keeping my estrogen levels in check was fun. Now I no longer need to take anastrazole and that's a load off,

[–] Shellofbiomatter@lemmus.org 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Sorry to hear about that. When did you find that one out?

I don't have anything that severe, just a messed up hormonal system possibly due to rotating shift work as that was the only thing i couldn't fix after going through all the common and later doctors recommendations to boost testosterone levels. Eventually it was to either quit my job and hope that that was it or just start replacement therapy, though similarly the dosages in the beginning were too high causing mood swings and sensitive nipples at which point i did bloodwork and pretty much halved the dosage which solved mood swings, no sensitive nipples anymore and bloodwork showed estrogen levels to be within normal range.

Found out at 38. Was tired all the time, went to see doctor, did bloodwork and my testosterone barely registered on the test. Was sent for genetic testing and found out I'm chromosomally mosaic. So I have both Kleinfelter and Jacob's syndromes. Both conditions make you very tall, I'm 6' 7". Jacob's is rarely diagnosed, about 1 in 1000 males and less has been studied about it. Being tall, having ADHD/Autism (which I'm currently waiting to see a psychologist about) and asthma are the common signs.

That's a lot to deal with. How you're handling it?
