Common Questions and Answers about Zantac gynecomastia

zantac

Avatar n tn I have been a very regular taker of Ranitidine (found in Zantac tablets) and it is a recognised side effect that Gynecomastia can occur in males as a result of taking this drug. My question is, if I stop taking this drug, will my Gynecomastia condition improve? Will the lump go away in a matter of weeks (ive been off the drug for 1 week so far). Or will it just stop the condition from getting worse.
Avatar m tn s gynecomastia for sure because fat deposits are symmetric. Gynecomastia can often be unilateral. You probably have "permanent" gyneomastia on that side. Surgical excision is the only remedy I am familiar with for that. If occurring due to a particular medication or frequent pot use, cessation of that agent may possibly reduce it (at least reduce the tenderness part).
Avatar f tn A lump under the nipple of a young boy is most likely gynecomastia, which is common in boys around the age of puberty and is usually temporary.
Avatar m tn Hello! I am 25 year old male who looks like 15-17. I've had gynecomastia since i was 15 and also havent grown since that age. Tbh my body havent really changed at all. My bones didnt grow larger or increase of muscles though i trained alot and went through a mandatory 2 years of national service. I still look very young and feel very depressed because of this.I researched about this online and found about hypogonadism. Is that the case or am i suffering from something else? Thank you!
Avatar m tn If you truly have gynecomastia then the only thing that will help is surgery. My son had gynecomastia and he had surgery and looks great. If this is going to mess with your life, then have the surgery!
Avatar m tn A surgical consult would be best to sort out what exactly you are dealing with. Doesn't sound like gynecomastia to me. With gynecomastia you will present with full breast tissue just like a woman, not a lump.
Avatar m tn I am a 26 year old male that suffers from Gynecomastia. I have had this issue pretty much all my life but I am sick of trying to hide it. I am not overweight infact I regulary excersize and go to the gym but nothing seems to work. Its not because of any prescription drugs because my brother suffers from it also. I was wondering if the Gynecomastia pills can reduce this. The surgery is quite expensive and I would like to avoid it if possible.
Avatar m tn Gynecomastia is the unfortunate side effect of having Epilepsy. It's caused by the hormonal changes occurring during frequent episodes of epileptic seizures. This link will add more info about this case: http://sciencelinks.jp/j-east/article/200022/000020002200A0669157.
Avatar m tn From the age of 11 i am suffering from gynecomastia (chest is like a woman). My parents are not educated and they don't know anything about that and they thought it was due to i am fatty for that age than other children of same age. Till now i am feeling shy to remove my shirt while going to swimming pool, and in front of friends, relatives. When i come to know that this is due to enlargement of breast tissue (Gynecomastia), i spoke to my parents about surgery.
Avatar m tn I have been recently been diagnosed with an enlarged breast bud or possible gynecomastia pending a hormone test that is only on the left side. I took a blood test and I am waiting for the results. It is testing my random testosterone, cortisol, estradiol, dhea levels and my hepatic profile. I have no problems with my testicles no lump, pain, swelling, heavy feeling nothing, except above my left testicle the vein is more pronounced.Kind of feels like a "bag of worms".
Avatar f tn Late last year, I grew concerned that I had developed Gynecomastia. Concerned it could be my liver, I went to a gastroenterologist/Hepatologist who looked at my blood tests (all normal) and a recent ct scan (liver remarked as normal). He put my mind at ease. After doing a physical, he said not to worry. Fast forward 4 months: The blood work is still normal but I am in the hospital for very frightening changes to my mental state.
Avatar m tn I lowered the dose when I developed gynecomastia (breast tissue). Avodart has a long half life. Will it still work to help my benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)? I have been taking Avodart for 5 years and it has been very helpful.
Avatar m tn Slight gynecomastia, fit and healthy and its noticeable. I visited the doctor about lumps behind the nipples, and got ignored basically. I would like to go again, but am afraid i will be treated the same way. Is there anything i can demand, or can i bypass the GP and see a specialist?

Avatar n tn Hi, I went to a Mastologist to see if I had gynecomastia, since my nipples appear puffy, but they aren't hard, the nipples themselves are soft, and after I went to the consultation, I was told that it's not gynecomastia, and it's only fat. But my question is, can just fat cause the nipples to be puffy like it would appear if it's gynecomastia?. Additional information: I'm 18 years old and was overweight at around 12 years, when it appeared the puffy nipples.

3055148 tn?1368211800 Has anyone ever taken Zantac? My doctor told me to take that everyday instead of taking tums b/c they are pointless, but I kinda don't wanna take medicine.

Avatar n tn t think your problem has anything to do with breast cancer,but it could be a condition called Gynecomastia that usually occurs in teenage boys,caused by hormonal imbalance.However,adult men could have this condition too,when they have a high level of estrogen that promotes glandular tissue growth. Gynecomastia could also be caused by taking certain prescribed medication, which could have steroid properties or by using illicit drugs.Heavy alcohol consumption can also cause the condition.
