Tamoxifen vs Raloxifene for gyno

Update to this thread:

Testosterone, LH, FSH, and Prolactin Blood work for Gyno

LH is too high and my prolactin is kinda high too (could explain why I have mild gyno) Doctor said there's nothing abnormal with my bloodwork and the gyno "isn't visible" according to him so a second visit is optional. Should I ask him to prescribe some sort of AI or is it too late for that at 17?

I got prescribed to take 10mg/day of Tamoxifen (Nolvadex)

My concerns with this are:
- It's a low dose, should I just ignore what the doc said and take 20mg/day?
- I've heard that raloxifene is a better SERM with fewer side effects, is this true?

Idk but if I were you I would ask this question on forums/reddit subs dedicated to hormones,gyno or whatever. The users here aren't informed or knowledgeable enough to answer ur question I think

depends on how long your gyno is there if it's glandular ur kinda fucked and can only surgery max usually if it is new id try and nuke it with relaxofine or alternatively try rubbing dht cream on it

is there no chance of reduction if it’s glandular? i heard some ppl had success with it anyway

also how old do you have to be to not worry about the effect on the growth plates?

if its early u can get rid of it with anti estrogens dht fat loss etc if its later on and it becomes more lumpy its really hard to get rid of without surgery

bumping it up to 20mgs wont hurt, you don't need more then 20mgs though. Ralox is better for gyno, don't recall why but it is. sides are the same iirc. also if your gyno has calcified and is "hardened" then you wont be able to get rid of it, just shrink it ideally.
