[QUOTE="bennettjc, post: 201416, member: 41390"] Thanks for replying. But I should have been more specific given the topic here is "Testosterone Side Effect Management." To rephrase can someone point me to any studies regarding any relationship between estradiol (relative to testosterone) and gynecomastia... in men taking exogenous testosterone? I suppose one could extrapolate from what has been written about the issue not in the context of TRT. But I am more interested in unique situation of TRT. I did try googling but had no luck. Of historical interest I did find this paper espousing the value of an aromatase inhibitor in reversing gynecomastia in TRT. One of the two authors is our hero Dr. Morentaler! Alas it is case report with an n of 2. [URL="https://www.nature.com/articles/3901154"]Treatment of testosterone-induced gynecomastia with the aromatase inhibitor, anastrozole[/URL] Some recent numbers: Total Testosterone = 1050ng/dl. Free Testosterone (LabCorp Diffusion Method) = 44ng/dl. Estradiol (LabCorp Sensitive Method) = 86pg/ml. I don't take the AI. I do take HCG. Do I have symptoms related to E2? Possibly. Despite 20lbs weight loss since starting (good) TRT, it does seem that my breasts are more prominent. I am aware of the distinction between glandular tissue and adipose tissue. The topic is gynecomastia but I will say, as an aside, that since being on (good) TRT I am exceedingly more emotional. I cry at songs. I cry at professional wrestling! Best, Bennett [/QUOTE]
