Lusaka Man Develops Breasts After Taking ARVs


A 27 year old man of Lusaka’s Mutendere Township has developed a rare medical condition which has resulted in breasts enlargement.

A Mtendere resident who only preferred to be called by the name of Alfred says he is shocked over the development on his body.

He explained that this condition started after taking anti-retro viral drugs-ARVs. Muvi Tv

    ART is administered and registered recognised institutions so if what this guy took where ARVs then the clinic/hospital should give an official statement on his condition bcoz a lot of people are on ART and none has complained of such a side effect otherwise this guy is a suspect,he may have taken these foolish enlargement stuff or he’s a thief and he has been bewitched

    Thumbs up for C Mwetwa for comending ZNBC in the manner they are working. Its encouraging to hear such sentiments from the opposition. Hope HH is not bita with the young man.

    Gynaecomastia . The ARVs must be causing hormonal imbalance of some sort.

    the condition which this man is suffering from is a rare but a common side effect caused by one of the ARV drugs,its common in HIV/AIDs patients on ART.It is called gynacomastia meaning (breast enlargement).Also it can still be caused by other drugs other than ARVs eg.hormonal drugs and certain drugs used in stomach ulcers.no witchcraft all.

    This is strange en our governments(zambia & malawi) should seriously en quickly look into this matter. A malawian man on ARV therapy recently committed suicide after having developed breasts and becoming a laughing stock.

    These conventional drugs have alot of side effects. When someone takes ARV’s, considering the nature of these drugs, the chemical components in those drugs begin to manifest in different ways. ARV’s prolong life, but they have long term effects that destroy body organs such as; Lungs, kidneys and so forth.

    this condition is called gynaecomastia abnormal enlargement of mammary glands in males hence enlargement of breasts. it is a rare but expected side effect of drugs such as furomide,spirolactone,digoxin and some ARVs. The side effect is normally seen some males who are on the ARV efavirenz. if this is observed in patient withdraw the drug.

    I think those breasts are too large to be medically termed gynaecomastia. However, the benefits of the drugs are greater than the side effects.
    This man can have a double mastectomy and live a normal life once again.

    Hormone treatment should help with his condition. Need to increase testosteron to reverse the high oestrogen levels in his body. Oestrogen causes breasts to grow but high levels of testosteron suppresses the effects of oestrogen.

    We also need to pray for the man. Let God balance out the hormones in his body after all the manufacturer knows his product more than any other specialist out there.

    That’s what happens when you buy medicines pantu Temba, instead of getting ARV’s they give you sex change drugs!

    THIS IS CALLED GYNACOMASTIA (ENLARGEMENT OF THE BREAST). IT CAN BE CA– USED BY MANY FACTORS. SOME ARVS LIKE EFAVIRENZ CAN CA– USE THIS CONDITION. SOME SOLUTIONS CAN INCLUDE CHANGING FROM EFAVIRENZ TO NEVIRAPIN OR SURGICAL EXCISION (REMOVAL) OF THE BREASTS

    This is purely a medical condition no witchcraft involved,I had a same case at my site 2 wks ago and am awaiting a report from kitwe central hospital.The cause is hormonal imbalance.so its important to ascertain whether it is drug induced or natural imbalance the corrective measures could include among other things withdrawal of the drug,hormonal therapy or surgical.Prayer has always been a divine intervention.
