Did Izzy’s Gyno disappear? UFC 259 Embedded

I'm sure Dana was kept abreast of Iz's situation. He's a potential cash cow that must be protected
 
Need to be more conservative with your steroids dude...
 
It's a bad sign when your new posterboy starts growing titties

Still looks like some subdermal breast tissue remains after secret outpatient procedure he would definitely deny. Good thing Dana White commanded mma press not to bring it up.

Yup I agree. Def didn't get work done on it. Not sure why other people are blind.
 
Definitely didn't have it surgically removed unless the hired some c grade drs. Keep letting the hate blind you guys.

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gynecomastia/symptoms-causes/syc-20351793

Causes
Gynecomastia is triggered by a decrease in the amount of the hormone testosterone compared with estrogen. The decrease can be caused by conditions that block the effects of testosterone, reduce testosterone or increase your estrogen level.

Several things can upset the hormone balance, including the following.

Natural hormone changes
The hormones testosterone and estrogen control sex characteristics in both men and women. Testosterone controls male traits, such as muscle mass and body hair. Estrogen controls female traits, including the growth of breasts.

Most people think of estrogen as an exclusively female hormone, but men also produce it — though normally in small quantities. Male estrogen levels that are too high or are out of balance with testosterone levels can cause gynecomastia.

  • Gynecomastia in infants. More than half of male infants are born with enlarged breasts due to the effects of their mother's estrogen. Generally, the swollen breast tissue goes away within two to three weeks after birth.
  • Gynecomastia during puberty. Gynecomastia caused by hormone changes during puberty is relatively common. In most cases, the swollen breast tissue will go away without treatment within six months to two years.
  • Gynecomastia in adults. The prevalence of gynecomastia peaks again between the ages of 50 and 69. At least 1 in 4 men in this age group is affected.
Medications
A number of medications can cause gynecomastia. These include:

  • Anti-androgens used to treat an enlarged prostate, prostate cancer and other conditions. Examples include flutamide, finasteride (Proscar, Propecia) and spironolactone (Aldactone, Carospir).
  • Anabolic steroids and androgens, which are prescribed by doctors for certain conditions or are sometimes used illegally by athletes to build muscle and enhance performance.
  • AIDS medications. Gynecomastia can develop in men who are HIV-positive and receiving a treatment regimen called highly active antiretroviral therapy. Efavirenz (Sustiva) is more commonly associated with gynecomastia than are other HIV medications.
  • Anti-anxiety medications, such as diazepam (Valium).
  • Tricyclic antidepressants.
  • Antibiotics.
  • Ulcer medications, such as the over-the-counter drug cimetidine (Tagamet HB).
  • Cancer treatment.
  • Heart medications, such as digoxin (Lanoxin) and calcium channel blockers.
  • Stomach-emptying medications, such as metoclopramide (Reglan).
Street drugs and alcohol
Substances that can cause gynecomastia include:

  • Alcohol
  • Amphetamines, used to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder
  • Marijuana
  • Heroin
  • Methadone (Methadose, Dolophine)
Health conditions
Several health conditions can cause gynecomastia by affecting the normal balance of hormones. These include:

  • Hypogonadism. Conditions that interfere with normal testosterone production, such as Klinefelter syndrome or pituitary insufficiency, can be associated with gynecomastia.
  • Aging. Hormone changes that occur with normal aging can cause gynecomastia, especially in men who are overweight.
  • Tumors. Some tumors, such as those involving the testes, adrenal glands or pituitary gland, can produce hormones that alter the male-female hormone balance.
  • Hyperthyroidism. In this condition, the thyroid gland produces too much of the hormone thyroxine.
  • Kidney failure. About half the people being treated with dialysis experience gynecomastia due to hormonal changes.
  • Liver failure and cirrhosis. Changes in hormone levels related to liver problems and cirrhosis medications are associated with gynecomastia.
  • Malnutrition and starvation. When your body is deprived of adequate nutrition, testosterone levels drop while estrogen levels remain the same, causing a hormonal imbalance. Gynecomastia can also happen when normal nutrition resumes.

Why and how does everyone know so much about Gyno on this forum?

That's a 'cover your ass' type list. Most of it is not relevant to most people.

Gyno itself is not relevant to most people, and yet the Mayo clinic thinks its relevant enough to list all of them, because if someone does have gyno then the potential causes become relevant.

I wonder if you actually read the list of potential causes. Here's a summary: a number of medications in addition to anabolic steroids, including antibiotics and anti-depressants. Alcohol. Marijuana. Amphetamines. Kidney failure (read up on how water cutting can affect kidney function). Liver problems (which both alcohol and severe weight cutting can cause). Even some plant oils and shampoos.

Are you arguing that fighters never use antibiotics, anti-depressants, alcohol, marijuana etc, never run into kidney or liver problems from cutting? That some might never use shampoo is possible though, probably don't need it with a shaved head.

I find it hard to believe that any of these explanations apply to a healthy 31 year old elite athlete. I believe he is claiming it was too much weed, but I think that amount he would need to smoke would also negatively affect his performance.
