Higher chance of gyno with propecia if large chest/nipples?

[sportsfan12]

I'm 25 and pretty muscular- gain muscle fairly easily in the gym. That being said, I do have a fairly large chest/ above average nipple size- would this increase my chance at all of getting gyno? I have been reading a little about gyno but really I am a novice when it comes to it- just curious as I am considering propecia.

idk but gyno is a rare side finasteride only induces gyno in 1/250 cases

I would also like to know since I lift and have a large chest as well. I don't think it should matter whether you have a large chest from lifting or not. But if you do have larger nipple size and/or puffy nipples then I would be cautious with propecia. This is just a thought, no real evidence or backing lol

yeah ive always had a bigger chest (which i dont mind at all since i lift) but curious if it will make me more prone to gyno. still just asking all of the random/strange questions as im on the fence with starting propecia

If you decide to try finasteride then take before pics of your chest so you have something to compare with if you think you are getting gyno.

I don't get why people are so afraid of gyno with finasteride. Just because a couple of forum members here and there have an issue doesn't mean that the many millions of people using the drug every day have a problem with it. It's not even close to castration.

Because one guy said he got gyno from finasteride, then another guy reads about that guy on a forum like this, then that guy writes a thread about guys using finasteride and getting gyno.....

Typical snow ball effect

And before somebody starts crying, yes I know finasteride can give you sides, I just don't believe every guy on these forums claiming they took finasteride and got sides.

Any sides on your end?

Sides are noticeable before they get dangerous like gyno if you are not ignorant.They go away after some time.For all those who worry of gyno i will say lowering the dosage and increasing the intake period.You are slowing the production of a hormone that is naturally produced in you body and your body tries to even the odd's but its gonna take time.Sides just don't come out of the blue

Do you think starting at .5 mg/day would bea good decision?

As for dutasteride: my balls might feel weird sometimes and my nipples might get hard more than usual. It's really likely nothing.

Start taking the usual dose but only once a week, then twice a week etc until you're taking it every day. I transitioned on to finasteride that way.
