Hi all,
I am planning to have a gyno surgery next week and have the glands removed. Which of the two anti-androgens is the best to add to my regimen(orally)? spironolactone or Cyproterone acetate?
I did a google search and found out that spironolactone is a weak anti-androgen when taken orally and cyproterone acetate is a powerful anti-androgen.
I am already taking 50mg oral spironolactone alongside my other treatments for 6 months now and I've got gyno in my right and left breast.I dont think 50mg of oral spironolactone is going to be enough to help with hairloss... I am planing on getting that surgery, because if gyno will continue I will have to stop the oral spironolactone.
My goal is: once I will have the surgery, I will add one of the two to my regimen, to block as much androgen as I can without getting gyno. By doing so I won't be too sensitive to the side effects.
If I do increase the spironolactone dose or add Cyproterone acetate instead of spironolactone, I see it as giving my existing regimen a bit of a boost.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!
