I have a friend who has lost a lot of weight and has been left with gyno. He went to doctors and it was confirmed as Gyno and basically given the only option of surgey. Am just wondering guys if anything else would work for example letro oviously not as well as surgery.

Thanks

what sort of gyno is this? what is the cause?

It not from a cycle. It just gyno that sometimes occurs when you lose a lot of weight.

I guess could be to do with puberty as well as he is 19

Sounds more like pseudogynecomastia
I would suggest this will have been eliminated when body fat is lowered to a point where male fat deposits in the chest area are minimal

Are there hard lumps/thick tissue?

yeah, he is about 11/12% I would guess personally. The doctor said it was gyno (well he gave a long name for it) and said surgery was the main option. I was thinking letro and clomid I think as a option?

Macro

usually its the loss of a lot of weight that makes gyno apparent (losing bodyfat generally helps reduce gynecomastia due to the link between aromatase and adipose tissue)

letrozole followed by aromasin or AIFM. Clomid might have some benefit.

if he has puffy nipples then cabaser may be indicated.

doctors always say surgery, even though there is quite longstanding research that chemical regression is possible (studies on the other hand always reccomend chemical regression therapy first, and if that fails THEN surgery)

estrogen with or without prolactin suppression should always be accompanied by calorie deficit (as this will suppress other maintaining hormones like insulin, igf and others).
