Response from Dr. Fisher
 The breast symptoms were gynecomastia and probably related to the testosterone replacement, but the weight gain in your midsection is part of what we call lipodystrophy. I don't think you can use exercise to direct the 5 lbs to other areas. But exercise might help reduce the fat in your midsection. I think aerobic exercise would be beneficial. But you will also want to do muscle-training to help you bulk up. Speak to a trainer for specifics about your own situation. AF |
