Gynecomastia (breast enlargement)

Try Evening Primrose Oil and Sage Leaf capsules. I had Gynecomastia about 12 years ago (long before going on to hormone treatment) and attended the breast clinic wher that was the recommended treatment. They are also great for hot flushes from HT. I buy in bulk from Holland & Barret when they have a "Buy 1 get 1 for a penny" offer!

Cheers Seamus, I'll give them a try

Hi Wezpop

I had exactly the same problem with swollen breasts but the pain on my left side was very uncomfortable. I mentioned this to my specialist on a couple of occasions and he referred me to the radiotherapy unit where I had one course of treatment on both sides. This was pain free!

Eventually the pain disappeared but I'm not sure if it was due to this treatment. I have no pain at all nowadays but still have the swollen breasts but these have reduced in size. I'm sure that some weight lifting to improve one's upper body strength would be a good idea but fatigue puts me off the idea of any form of exercise apart from walking!

Good luck.

wezpop I received some radiotherapy for this, my left boob improved but my right improved initially but soreness is currently returning. Received radiotherapy about six months ago so unsure if effects still working

Cheers Andy, I will have a chat to my ONC on next appt
