I’m 45 and found I have BPH!

Steve78 · May 18, 2024

I did a screening prenuvo scan ( whole body mri) and one finding was enlarged prostate, normal is less than 30 ml and mine was 38.5ml

I cannot find this info anywhere but I’m hoping it just because I’m big, 6’5 240 pounds (not fat, pretty lean). I am on trt and my TT currently are 1500 ng/dl… I know I’ll decrease dose to make my TT 700 now, but any thoughts? I’m too young for this!

The way I see it, you're running 1500 ng/dL that you wouldn't have naturally, exposing a condition that might have reared its ugly head many years from now running normal natural testosterone levels.

Time spent on Earth and your genetic age may not always match up! Geneticist's have a saying, you look your age. People seem to think you can't get heart disease in your youth, think again! Heart attacks are also on the rise in adults in their 20s and 30s.

All diseases are on the rise!

True, a good friend who’s fit just had triple bypass surgery. For me this is a wake up call and will only run a trt that gets me 800 TT range with e2 between 20-30

I just don’t see any literature suggesting lowering androgens reduces the size of the prostate , only androgen deprivation which I’m not going to do. But my guess would be yes, lowering dose may reduce size
People who take androgen blockers reduce size by 30% in 12 weeks

Sorry to hear this.

A remedy could be a higher dose of Cialis to ease some symptoms if you are having any.

I experience hypertension, I have read higher doses of Cialis can be used for arterial hypertension, so I had to try, it seems to help and on a side note easier peeing. I am taking 45mg every morning. I also take BP meds.

Cialis is known to help with BPH.

Right but from what I read, it just helps the symptoms of BPH but doesn’t reduce the size of the prostate
On side note I’m embarrassed to say I’m on oxandrolone from a trt clinic, I know it’s a DHT derivative and definitely makes things worse so I’m stopping this and droping my trt dose down , hopefully in a month or two the gland reduces some in size

If you want to try something outside of the standard medical treatment (Flomax, Finasteride, surgery), then I recommend the Russian peptide Libidon Lingual.
