Title: Why is my boy odor came back after switching to Androcur ( cyproterone acetate )
Post by: Hammymrz on May 26, 2019, 05:12:50 PM
I was on spiro for about two months and my T stayed high as in the male range. After the first month, I noticed a change in body odor and some good breast development. So after my labs came out the T was really high my ando wasn't really known much about MTF/HRT so he prescribed me Androcur (  cyproterone acetate ). He said it's stronger than spiro and will nuke my T fast. So here I'm 1 month on Androcur the prob is at this point I sense my body odor came back. My ando says it's nothing to do with med it probably in your head. I really don't like that smell on me I'm missing my female sweet smell. what should I do has that happened to anyone.

My doctor switched me to cypro about a month ago, after I complained of the constant dehydration and low blood pressure on spiro.  I haven't noticed any change in body odour.  I will be interested to see my next labs to see if my T is up at all.  It was too low to measure on spiro.

One interesting change is some breast development, starting about a week after changing to cypro.  Possibly coincidence.  After more than a year and a half of no more growth, they have rounded a bit from their pointy pubescent shape to a more adult breast shape.  They are still small (not quite an A), but any growth is good growth.

How does one notice there own body odor?   That's like saying you can smell your own breath you really can not.
