36yo male. On trt due to secondary hypo.
It was I found out I was secondary because I was developing gyno on my left side. Doctor did some labs and a mammogram and found the cause was low t.
After 4 years of HCG and clomid therapy I decided to begin TRT. Though out the entire 4 years of treatment (hcg and clomid) I still had gyno flare-ups which was why I decided to go to TRT.
Here is the issue. On TRT I am still having GYNO pain.
My labs on 3/17/17
testosterone 832 range 348-1197
free test 24.1 range 8.7-25.1
estradiol <6.0 range 7.6-42.6
igf-1 192 range 88-246
prolactin 6.1 range 4.0-15.2
shbg 19.9 range 16.5-55.9
dhea s 420.3 range 102.6-416.3
My estrogen was low and I still had Gyno pain on one side. This is glandular not just fat.
My doctor was concerned about the low estrogen and I 100% agree that it is way too low. He changed my AI dosage and my labs as of 4/26 show:
testosterone 799 range 348-1197
free test 24.7 range 8.7-25.1
estradiol 36 range 7.6-42.6
prolactin 8.8 range 4.0-15.2
Now I have gyno pain and glandular gyno on both sides. I feel my estrogen is a bit high so the doctor agreed to alter my AI once more and will get labs done in a month or so.
What else could it be? I had full blood work to check everything (liver kidneys etc.) and everything comes out fine.
Im not concerned with the visual appearance of the gyno but more so the pain.
Ive had low T and low E. Ive had high T and low E. Ive had High T and mid E but the problem seems to continue. Surgery is an option but I don't want to spend the $$$ just to have it resurface again.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
