Intro
GYNECOMASTIA SCIENCE & CAUSES
Contributing factors: hyperthyroidism, obesity, age
Liver and kidney disease
Anti-androgens like finasteride & dutasteride
Heart failure & blood pressure meds, spironolactone
Testosterone, antidepressants (especially tricyclic)
Anxiety meds, antibiotics, heart burn meds
Antihistamines, alcohol, amphetamines
Marijuana, heroin and other opiates
MANAGING MEN ON TRT WITH GYNECOMASTIA
2 types of gynecomastia: sensational and growth
Labs: total & free T (specific type!), estradiol (not just total estrogen, which is subject to contamination)
Microdosing T to avoid gynecomastia
Anti-estrogens: last resort, minimally, with close monitoring
Continued use can lead to poor mood, libido, injury, heart risks. A brief reset, not long-term use!

Gynecomastia (male breast growth) is a side effect of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT.) This video is the second in my series, “On Testosterone,” where I discuss the factors that should be considered while on TRT and before starting. I cover the science and causes of gynecomastia, how to assess your risk before starting TRT, and how to manage gynecomastia while on testosterone. If you are on TRT or considering it and concerned about gynecomastia, watch this video!

TABLE OF CONTENTS:
- Growth of breast tissue in men due to an imbalance of testosterone & estrogen, can occur on all types of TRT
