The legacy of the bodybuilding icon Zyzz continues to make headlines as his brother, Said Sergeyevich Shavershian, takes a bold step towards improving his health. Recently, Said shared his experience of undergoing gynecomastia surgery to address a hormonal imbalance caused by ste**d use.

Zyzz was a pioneer in fitness influence and unfortunately died at 22 from a heart attack during a Thailand trip on August 5, 2011. An autopsy revealed an undiagnosed heart defect. He had faced legal issues for ste**d possession before his death. Now, his brother is breaking the pattern and has undergone surgery to overcome health hazards.

Shavershian shared his experience and the steps he took to resolve this issue once and for all. He announced, “Today I had Gynecomastia surgery with @drtonyprochazka at the @iccm_cosmetic_sydney clinic.” This revelation came after years of trying various treatments with no success, including strong anti-estrogen medications like Arimidex and cancer drugs like Letrozole. Despite these efforts, he found no relief.

Shavershian took to his Instagram and posted two pictures from the clinic and revealed, “I’ve been battling gyno on and off for over 3-4 years.” Gynecomastia, often a result of hormonal imbalances, is the enlargement of breast tissue in men. This condition can cause significant discomfort and embarrassment, leading many to seek a solution. It is also one of the most common side effects of ste**d use. One of his fans asked in the comments, “Why you had a surgery? Caused by steroids of why? (Asking out of curiosity).” To this, Shavershian replied, “yea caused by gear.”

He candidly confessed that his chest area and nipples were constantly sore and tender, presenting him with a lot of pain, something he had never really spoken about out of fear and shame. Taking a bold step towards improving his well-being, Said decided to undergo surgery to remove the glands causing the problem. Additionally, he shared every detail about the surgery to spread awareness among his fans and followers.

Said Shavershian explained in the post caption that the procedure was straightforward and efficient, completed within 90 minutes at the clinic without the hospital visit. He emphasized the positive experience, noting that the surgery was simple, with zero pain, and expressed gratitude toward Dr. Prochazka, and the nursing staff who tended to him. Furthermore, post-surgery, the fitness enthusiast expressed relief and satisfaction, feeling good and happy on his way home.

Moreover, he assured his followers that he would keep them updated on his recovery. Shavershian also encouraged others suffering from gynecomastia to consider surgery, highlighting that it is the only true cure and can save a lifetime of pain and medication. The 34-year-old shared, that the surgery was very affordable and highly recommended to anyone suffering from this condition, emphasizing that his post was to raise awareness and help others, and wasn’t a paid promotion.

Shavershian’s journey sheds light on an issue many bodybuilders face but rarely discuss openly. By sharing his story, he hopes to raise awareness and help others in similar situations. As he looks forward to his recovery and eventual return to the gym, Said Sergeyevich Shavershian remains optimistic, planning to take a month off from the gym before making a strong comeback.
