Hair loss: the destined “strong hairstyle”
(I will omit this here and focus on the other two issues, because this problem is mostly caused by personal genetics. If you have the gene for hair loss, you will lose your hair whether you use technology or not, it’s just a matter of speed.)
Gynecomastia: the culprit of chest muscles turning into “steamed buns”
How it happens
Imagine that a large amount of estrogen suddenly flows into your body, just like the enemy army conquering the chest fortress. When the estrogen receptors are continuously activated, the breast tissue will proliferate like fermented dough – this is the root cause of gynecomastia.
What’s even more terrifying is that there is an “accomplice” – prolactin. Some drugs will directly increase prolactin, causing the sensitivity of estrogen receptors to surge. Have you heard of the legend that bodybuilders “produce milk” before the competition? This is true. I have seen many such examples behind the scenes of the competition. The athletes who are supposed to play have low body fat, so the “steamed buns” will be more prominent. It’s these two hormones that work together!
Emergency rescue plan
Prevention stage: control hormone fluctuations and avoid estrogen/prolactin roller coaster. This requires adjusting your plan. Find professionals to do professional things, don’t do it yourself.
Early signs (nipple tingling/swelling): Use aromatase inhibitors immediately
Hyperplasia has formed: SERMs drugs (such as tamoxifen) act as “gatekeepers” to prevent estrogen from entering the receptors
Ultimate means: surgical resection (but it may affect the shape of the chest muscles, and the chest will be sunken in half a year. In fact, this is not a big problem because it is reversible. The main reason is that surgery can easily cause the two places to lose sensation, which will reduce your future happy life by two “handles”)
Real case: From time to time, bodybuilders ignore anti-estrogen during the preparation period, and lumps or pain appear in the plan. What’s more serious is breast exudation three days before the competition. Later, these crises were resolved through a combination of drugs.
Acne crisis: from “peeling eggs” to “volcanic eruption”
Acne double evil
Estrogen type: specializes in the facial triangle area, like the plus version of menstrual acne, like the male players with technology, but it depends on the person, not everyone will specialize in the face.
DHT type: The back/shoulder is the hardest hit area, and the pores directly become “oil field gushers”
Defense system
Drug regulation: Slowly increase the dose to avoid drastic fluctuations in hormones
Cleaning tips: Salicylic acid shower gel + ultrasonic facial cleanser (you can rub it when your girlfriend does it, but it is not recommended to go there specifically, because most men cannot stick to it)
Dietary control: quit the three-piece set – dairy products, high GI foods, and trans fats
First aid plan: Clindamycin gel spot application (note! Long-term use will produce drug resistance and is not very friendly to the skin)
