Currently rebooting, puffy nipples gone

Hi,

Hooked on internet porn for 15 yrs. Rebooted successfully 2 years ago after about 40 days, relapsed and never got back into again. Now I'm on day 12. I gotta say my puffy nipples / manboobs are gone.

I've checked my testo, blood, prolactin SHBG levels a few times and I always had high prolactin.

I read theres a correlation between dopamine and prolactin and something is making my nipples less puffy and my bro science conclusion is nofap . 50% of what we know today is wrong anyways we will find out sooner or later.

So far my dick is dead, no morning wood, and I'm feeling really irritated, brain also feels wierd. Hard to explain a brain feeling but i have a feeling in the front of my head.

I tested very low in my early 20s for testosterone. They wanted to put me on TRT but I never did. I've never been overwheight and always done bodybuilding since 12 yrs and went between 7 to 13% bodyfat.

I will go 60 days and then do a blood test to see if my testo levels are back in normal range.

I remember when I did a proper reboot a few years ago and started getting really hard morning wood. The sex felt amazing. Although I've been sexually active since my teens it's never felt as good as after I went those 40 days nofap so I know theres hope. Easy to fall into old habits again though.

 

Day 17 today, had a weak morning wood today. Ball sack is def bigger and I believe my prostate hurts to :[

I love that my puffy nipples / gyno is completely gone already. Thats the biggest motivator to not jack off or have sex for now

Also slight headache/feeling in the center front of my skull since I started the reboot.

 

I had surgery over 10 years ago for gyno, but even after surgery the puffiness of the nipples was always there. I tried an anti aromatase PCT product called 6oxo (banned now btw) long ago and this made my puffy nipples go away so something tells me high prolactin could have cause the gyno in the first place. My blood test back then showed my prolactin was high. Real gyno is when your actual glands have grown. That you can only fix with surgery. Hormonal imbalance must have been the initial cause. But just puffy nipples nofap seems to cure. I guess nolvadex would have the same effect. Ive read some people supplement with DIM (can be found in broccoli).

Ive been a good boy and its day 20 today. Morning wood is coming back strong

Other benefits I've noticed less hairs are falling out from my head lately. I've scheduled a blood test next week to check Testosterone, prolactin, SHBG. I will have gone 30 days then. Will post the results here.

 

Ah yeah for sure orgasm and releasing prolactin to frequently cant be healthy. I read high prolactin can cause a lot of other health issues. Common sense tells me we are not meant for whacking off 5 times a day which is what I did for. Some days I probably did even more.

I also think today's diets full of soy (acts like estrogen in the body) and BPA-like chemicals from plastic bottles e.g can cause hormonal imbalance as well. Also I can't say I eat to much raw broccoli and other estrogen lowering greens. Higher body-fat is also not good estrogen wise: https://thinksteroids.com/community...-and-body-fat-levels-are-corelated.134313644/

So the worst for man boobs would be, shitty diet, high bodyfat, overmasturbating, to much soy and to little DIM veggies. I also read that melatonin should lower prolactin: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22891630

Making your bedroom really dark should help produce more melatonin, and keeping normal sleeping hours when its dark outside. Light kills melatonin production.

 

Yeah it's crazy what a good nofap streak does for motivation. I felt incredibly productive when I had gone 30+ days. Once I've choked the chicken and really feel numb to life I have no motivation for anything. Everything becomes really boring. I guess it's how any drug addict would feel as well. I wouldn't know

When you ran your old streak did you feel fully recovered? I remember it was like being a teenager again, waking up with raging boners that would last while walking to the toilet. Had to wait to be able to pee in the morning

Sex after my first reboot never felt so good. Felt like having sex for the first time in my life. I had to really fight to cum before doing the nofap, flex my lex muscles and really go hard for a long time before cumming and it didnt really feel that good.

I broke my coca cola habit 4 yrs ago. I used to drink like 4 litres a day minimum. This also took 2 weeks of abstinence, cravings, headache e.g

 

Ah crap. I think the 2 first weeks are the hardest, I read some study on breaking habits and I think they said 21 days was the magic nr: http://www.slate.com/blogs/quora/2013/05/06/does_it_really_take_21_days_to_break_a_habit.html

Hmm seems like 45 days here:

"If we assume that there are no outside drug/substances research shows that in about 45 days there would be a material impact on the sensitivity of receptors and the number of receptors that generally connect to an undesired habit/behavior."

 

checking in, day 22. Starting to feel like I'm free from the bad habit now. I'm not as cranky and not feeling the withdrawal symptoms. Slept very good last night, woke up with morning wood again

 

Ah crap, I feel like hitting the gym or cold showers help as soon as the idea of fapping comes to mind. If you manage to go long enough until you reach a flat line it wont be hard to stay away from jacking off. My dick was literally dead for 3 weeks almost with no urges. Day 24 today and now I start to feel like its connected to my body again. It's bigger in flaccid state and balls are bigger to Going for blood test on Tuesday to check hormone levels. Overall life satisfaction is up though.

 

Yeah, I thought the surgery would get rid of the puffiness to but it didnt. Nofap did!

Had blood test 2 days ago, will wait 1 week for results.

 

Aahah yeah I'm sure zinc deficiency can also cause estrogen levels to go up as it works like an anti aromatase.

Day 31 today and Im horny as hell. Terrible, morning wood and spontaneous erections everywhere. Good signs I guess.

 

LDL koleszterin 4,17 mmol/L * 0,00 - 3,30
Prolaktin 271,4 mIU/L 56,0 - 278,4
Ösztradiol 104,0 pmol/L 0,0 - 172,5
Tesztoszteron 18,7 nmol/L 6,1 - 27,1
Free tesztoszteron index (FTI) 42,9 % 24,3 - 110,2

Seems testo was atleast in a normal range, but my prolactin and estradiol is way to high. Started to eat DIM to get rid of the bad estrogens. Will need to clean up my diet as well as LDL cholesterol is way to high

 

"The hormone prolactin is downregulated by dopamine and is upregulated by oestrogen"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperprolactinaemia#Diagnosis

So having low dopamine during a flat line probably makes prolactin shoot up.
