Scared to continue finasteride due to gyno signs

[infamousrodi]

Been 3 months on finasteride and I feel like I’m getting some unusual chest enlargement. It’s odd because I haven’t felt common gyno symptoms of tenderness or itch I just noticed it in the mirror. If I discontinue finasteride will it reverse itself or is it permanent? I’m so horrified now, never thought I could develop such a rare side effect. I feel like I was just starting to get great results too. Any ideas?

As long as there aren't any gyno symptoms it's fine. It could be some fat redistribution due to slightly higher estrogen after your body got used to finasteride. You also showed pictures before you started taking finasteride and your chest already looked similar.

Your chest looks completely normal.

What could I do to counter this? My chest feels fatter and in t shirts my nipples kind of poke now. Could it get worse? Here are more pics before finasteride back in June.

Not gyno. You need to work out. You nees to eat plenty of calories, but lean more towards the protein side for sure since your body fat percentage is already starting on a higher side vs leaner side. You should limit carbs...at least for now.

I feel like I’m at a healthy weight though for my height. And The more chest workouts I do the more fatter my chest is gonna look I’m afraid.

This first pic your arm is up which would make your chest more flat. Second one your arm is down. I went into the bathroom to see myself do the same motions. You are ok.

Exercise more to get rid of your skinnyfat body. Focus on the Bench press, Incline Bench Press, the Dumbbell Fly, do some Pec-Decks too. That will build up muscle on your chest and tone it up. One hour of weekly cardio would also be good for your body too.

You may be at a healthy weight but your body is skinnyfat at the moment. You can choose to cut or do a clean bulk. Personally I would cut first.

Cut mean just do mostly cardio and light weight lifting? Less cals?

So no gyno then? I kind of want to get a mammogram for peace of mind.

Erm what? Lol

The doctors are going to think you are crazy asking for a mammogram when you definitely won't get breast cancer after 3 months on finasteride. It's already a very rare side effect, if any.

I want a mammogram x ray done to confirm there’s no gland growing from testosterone amortization to estrogen lol not cancer!

I recommend watching this guy's video.

You generally want to aim for a 600 to 800 deficit during a cut so as to not lose much muscle. You should be mainly lifting, avoid too much cardio because if you do mostly cardio your body will still kind of look fat after the cut due to your muscles being underdeveloped.

Two words for you: bench press.

Ok so is finasteride basically making my skinny fat body more worse in a sense due to estrogen causing more fat gain?

I do bench press it’s not helping much if anything making chest look fatter

That sort of muscular body on that guy just looks weird to me, i think there can be a balance between the two extremes.

He takes steroids since he's a professional bodybuilder. You can rest assured that you won't look like that unless you do the same and train hard too.
