Unfortunately some bodybuilders develop Gynecomastia which causes their breast tissue enlargement causing breast tissue enlargement affecting self confidence, competition performance as well as interferes with everyday life situations where taking off their shirt in public!

Gynecomastia can be caused by various factors; however, bodybuilders using anabolic steroids are especially at risk because the gear disrupts the natural balance between testosterone and estrogen in men’s bodies; testosterone tends to promote masculine traits while estrogen encourages feminine characteristics like breast tissue growth; when this ratio becomes imbalanced it results in gynecomastia.

Gyno is the Most Frequent Cause for Bodybuilders

Many male bodybuilders start taking gear to increase muscle mass and give themselves an edge during competitions without realizing this may lead to gynecomastia. Many attempt to counter the effects by taking supplements they believe to be safe such as prohormones and protein powder, which are widely available both offline and online; unfortunately these supplements contain estrogenic ingredients which makes them even more prone to developing the condition.

Other causes of gynecomastia may include injury to the testes, thyroid conditions, obesity and certain medications – including anti-estrogens, hormone replacement therapy or antidepressants – that affect male hormone production. Before beginning any new supplements or medication it is advisable for bodybuilders to consult a physician first.
