question from a user

Is there anything you can take to remove/reduce gyno or is surgery the only option? Have gyno from steriods when younger and now on TRT

AlphaMD's Answer

Tamoxifen can been used to reduce or resolve gynecomastia. How effective it is depends on the severity and the duration (it is most effective on mild-moderate cases that have been present for a year or less). The more severe it is and/or the longer it has been there makes tamoxifen less likely to be completely effective, though it may still help reduce the size of any growth.
