Wondering how to go about finally treating this. I've seen bromocriptine and aromatase inhibitors mentioned but hopefully I can narrow down, based on my labs, what the cause might be and the treatments to consider.
I've puffy nips since 15-16 and they've become a bit more noticeable the last few years (25 now).
From my most recent labs - what I think is relevant:
Cholesterol total - 229 (125-200 mg/dL)
HDL - 56 (>40 mg/dL)
Triglycerides - 68 (<150 mg/DL)
LDL - 159 (<130 mg/dL)
PTH - 37 (14-64 pg/mL)
TSH - 2.0
T4 Total - 7.8
T4 Free - 1.2
T3 Free - 3.1
T3 Reverse - 16 (8-25)
Serotonin blood - 103 (56-244)
Serotonin serum - 85 (56-244)
Testosterone total - 984
Testosterone free - 114
Testosterone bioavailable - 250
DHT - 51 (16-79 ng/dL)
WBC - 3.5 (3.8-10.8)
Progesterone - 0.6 (<1.4 ng/mL)
Prolactin - 9.5 (2-18)
Estradiol - 46 (<39 pg/mL)
Other symptoms are mild acne, thinning hair, and sunken eyes. Perhaps they are all related to the puffy nips?
