There are two types of gyno that steroid athletes need to be concerned about. One is estrogen-induced gyno and the other is prolactin-induced gyno. Supraphysiologic levels of estrogen occasionally cause benign and malignant tumors of the breast (men and women). Estrogen affects mainly the adipose tissue and secondarily, the glandular tissue. Estrogen levels increase by the conversion of testosterone to estrogens. This is why it is important to control estrogen levels DURING a Testosterone (there are other AAS that aromatize, but I will just use the major ones as examples) cycle. The best meds to control estrogen levels DURING a cycle are the aromatase inhibitors (aromasin, femara, arimidex). In addition, by controlling estrogen levels, you also minimize water retention/bloat and fat accumulation. The problem with using Nolvadex or Clomid (estrogen receptor blockers) is that you still maintain a high level of estrogen that the liver needs to break down. This is a long process. It is better to get blood level estrogen levels down as soon as possible to avoid this "estrogen rebound."
Who gets estrogen-induced gyno? Those with BF% higher than 10-15% are more prone than those with BF% lower than 10%. Adipose tissue is the main source of the Aromatase enzyme; therefore, the less fat you have, the less conversion. Those that go over 600mg weekly dosing of aromatizing AAS tend to be more prone than those that keep their weekly dosing below 500mg. Of course, a past history of gyno is most suggestive of future problems as well.
Prolactin-induced gyno mainly affects the glandular tissue. Prolactin levels increase as a result of the stimulation of progesterone receptors by the Nandrolones (deca, fina, tren). Prolactin stimulates lactation; hence, the discharge from nipples some athletes experience. High prolactin levels also cause erectile dysfunction (deca dick). The best meds to controlling prolactin levels are Dostinex and Winstrol Injectable. Dostinex directly reduces prolactin levels. It is the most effective and SAFE MED that does this. Bromo is much more difficult to dose properly and the sides are a problem. Winstrol, in low doses, effectively blocks progesterone receptors.
Who gets prolactin-induced gyno and impotence? Those that use Nandrolone dosing over 400mg total weekly, as an average and those that do cycles over 8 weeks. This doesn't mean you won't experience prolactin-induced gyno or impotence at lower dosing. You need to recognize the problem and act on it immediately. I routinely recommend stacking Winstrol with all Nandrolones as a precaution. If you have access to Dostinex, by all means, stack it with your Nandrolones. You can discontinue the dostinex when you discontinue the use of the Nandrolone. Some continue the Dostinex into recovery; I do not believe this is necessary.
My conclusion: Your ancillaries (antiestrogens, antiprolactins, and recovery meds) are just as important or more important than the actual AAS themselves.
