Asked By:r2theoozbeck in Sacramento, CA

Could I be turned away because of my special case? I took finasteride for 1 month, and then saw palmetto for 3 months. My breasts increased as a result. Not severe, but they still did. I had gynecomastia surgery when I was 14, and my doctor explained that the tissue growth could be because I had a sensitivity to it. He said it would go away in about a month, but now it has been 4 months with no real subsidence. He also said that it wasn't much growth ( Butleft more than right). My blood test is normal, and hormones are balanced, so is this permanent?
