Has anyone in here had the gyno surgery ??
Does anyone know roughly what this cost in the US ? I can start my own thread for this I guess but I always get the beat answers in here. I also feel like this thread should just be it’s own forum.

You’re also lucky to have facial hair. It’s a good balance of feminine and masculine you have going on.
Agreed at that high of E and other AA it's amazing you have facial hair
That's quite expected. It's commonly said that HRT doesn't affect facial hair much, if at all.. thats why transwomen have to get it lasered or electrocuted off.

and actually my bottom part is totally fine but the upper sides used to be thicker and now grow a thousand times slower than the chin and neck

were you getting gyno even at 1-2mg E gel?

Yes at 2.5 mg of estrogel it started very slowly after a few months.

generally no. There might be a tiny amount of glandular tissue that the surgeon leaves which can get puffy, but it cannot develop nearly to the same extant as it would without the surgery.

That's really good to know that it can mostly be gone forever.

Looks majestic. You are truly the god of hair and all hair knowledge.


OMG you're so lucky ... very feminine face but with facial it's ok, you pass as a male without pb.

Sometimes I think my face looks a little feminine but it's alright. Mostly it just makes me seem a little younger. My beard grows so patchy now I don't even bother but I can grow it pretty well still around the chin like bridge.

It’s mainly because of the nausea, and tiredness. And, because it’s such a weak anti-androgen.
It's not that much weak. On 400 mg my hairs are improving, but at the same time I am losing my mussel which I don't like. I had nausea problem for two months, but my desperation lead me to continue it. I am thinking about cutting down my dose to 200 mg a day.

[QUOTE = "hopeforhappiness, post: 1799807, miembro: 135500"] Estoy seguro de que esta pregunta ha sido respondida en el foro, pero parece que no puedo encontrarla. :(Además, mientras está en este hilo, simplemente parece ser un lugar generalmente seguro para las personas que están dispuestas a recorrer la distancia / tomar riesgos reales para curar su pérdida de cabello. También recibí mucha ayuda de Puente y otros a través de DM.

** Después de la cirugía para extirpar las glándulas que causan la ginecomastia, ¿puede volver a aparecer ???? ** He estado en varios regímenes y algunos me han ayudado, pero sigo dejando de fumar debido a los efectos de la feminización o al miedo. Tengo la fuerza de voluntad, simplemente no quiero pechos. Finalmente estoy en un lugar donde puedo pagar los aproximadamente 6 mil dólares para la cirugía en unos pocos meses. ¿Puedo pagar la cirugía y volver a tomar los medicamentos sin la misma preocupación? Cualquier ayuda es apreciada. [/ QUOTE]
[QUOTE = "Father_of_Shiseido, post: 1800142, miembro: 139582"] No es tan débil. Con 400 mg, mis pelos están mejorando, pero al mismo tiempo estoy perdiendo el mejillón que no me gusta. Tuve problemas de náuseas durante dos meses, pero mi desesperación me llevó a continuar. Estoy pensando en reducir mi dosis a 200 mg al día. [/ QUOTE]


with 200 you'll be fine add dutasteride

I have been on duta for the last five years. I started spironolactone because duta stopped working for me.

I never got those symptoms. But every one reacts differently to drugs good luck on your new regimen though.
spironolactone nuked my testosterone. So hopefully it’s strong enough for me as I just ordered a years supply haha.

Hi mate I just wanted to let you know that my gyno is almost completely gone on my right side. It’s strange because you get a few days where nothing seems to happen and then all of a sudden I wake up and a huge part maybe 3 pea sizes just disappears overnight. You start today so good luck but give it time.
My scalp is beginning to itch again after being off spironolactone since mid March but I have about 2 weeks left so I will have to be strong and plod on.
Good luck mate

I have spironolactone on a repeat prescription; I won’t cancel it because it took me ages to get it on prescription. And, because I think it could be useful in the future especially if I get any issues with acne. Spironolactone (and estradiol) definitely did nuke my testosterone levels quickly. After a few days or so, I completely stopped getting morning boners and public boners (transgender people on reddit say that’s a sign your testosterone levels have dropped significantly). It definitely will be strong enough for you, and hopefully you don’t get any side effects.
