A member asked:

Just got gynecomastia surgery done for 4wk ago, almost all glant is removed. when will it be ok to start using steroids for muscle gain again?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anabolic steroids: have a lot of side effects, many more serious than gynecomastia, some even life-threatening. I don't think any medical professional will advise use of steroids for muscle gain.
