The prohormones are a precursor to DHT; the body turns it into DHT. That’s not going to get rid of gyno. Think about women who take things like testosterone injections and proviron (prescription DHT), for bodybuilding — they still have their original breasts. It causes their genitals and face to start masculinizing, but it doesn’t reduce their breasts at all. DHT does not eliminate estrogen, and it does not convert to estrogen, so the prohormones should not affect your gyno.
On the other hand, testosterone can convert into estrogen. So if your testosterone was too high for your body to handle, some of it might get converted into estrogen, which could cause gyno like you’re describing.
MorePlatesMoreDates is giving advice for drugs that would reduce your estrogen, and estrogen is what causes additional gyno growth. Reducing your estrogen wouldn’t reverse the growth that has already happened. Also it would interfere with your recovery from PFS because you’d be messing around with your hormones in an unpredictable way.
If your gyno is significant (you’re starting to grow breasts) then I’d schedule an appointment with a surgeon who does lots of gyno surgeries. This is an easy surgery. On the other hand if it’s just some nipple pain but no breast growth, maybe get a blood test to see if estrogen is super high.
