question from a user
Currently taking 150mg of cyp a week..split into 3x week subq…. .25 anastrozole 2x a week. I take the AI not because I feel high estradiol effects and numbers don’t say that, I take it because I have gyno develop if I don’t. Puffyness starts, small ball underneath becomes inflamed. I know this because I’ve had gyno surgery before and one side I guess the whole portion wasn’t taken out and it’s re appeared. Do you have any suggestions to control gyno flair ups outside of taking an AI?

E2 can be managed in other ways. You can switch to daily microdosing. You can lower your total dose. You can add OTC remedies like DIM, calcium d glucarate and zinc. Or you can do a combination of all 3. But considering your history of gyno, it sounds like the pros of low dose AI use outweigh any potential cons.
