    TLDR Tamoxifen effectively treats gynecomastia without causing impotence.
    Tamoxifen is an effective treatment for gynecomastia caused by flutamide/finasteride combination therapy in patients with advanced prostate carcinoma. Studies have shown that low-dose tamoxifen can reduce breast size and tenderness without causing impotence. Tamoxifen is a viable alternative to surgery for the treatment of gynecomastia.

      Using dutasteride or finasteride can increase free testosterone, which may convert to estradiol, potentially causing side effects like increased estrogen levels. Individual responses vary, and some users report changes in cholesterol, hair texture, and side effects like gyno or increased sex drive.
