Dht labs....should i worry?

[Maximus220rr]

My trt doc gave me back my lab results for dht and they were high. The range at quest goes to 79 and mine came back 82.
She told me to take saw palmetto every other day to lower dht levels. She also said I could run into prostate issues with it being high. My psa is normal at .9 and that's where it was when I started trt 4 yrs ago.
Should I be concerned???

I wouldn’t worry about it. Do people worry when their test is 1200? At least she told you saw palmetto and not finasteride.

No... She's wrong.... Walk around knowing that your slightly more manly than the dude next to you and be happy... Nothing even remotely close for the need to worry or address it...

Saw Palmetto is not advisable, a known Androgen blocker, but I agree too with Fifty that at least they didn't say Finasteride.

Blows my mind they would want to do something that close to range. Like robots...

Thanks guys! I didnt want to take anything but also wanted to be careful about my prostate

Prostate, we think, has less to do with DHT, and more with Estrogen, can make for some interesting reading.

Vince, That is exactly what my Dr is worried about. He was not happy that I had cut my anastrozole as my estrone was over 100 and he says that is where prostate, breast and colon cancer come from. what do you know about estrone?

Please don't take saw palmetto. I've seen some horror stories, similar to PFS.

I would ask her where she read that SP lowers DHT. Doctors, including Defy, make all kinds of claims such as boron and stinging nettle to lower shbg. Many of these studies were in a Petri dish.

I've also heard claims that high shbg causes prostate issues.

How do you feel? Mine is always over 100 and when it high I feel better...

I feel fine, especially libido but I am worried about shutting down my hair follicles. I am applying cream to balls, it was recommended I change application site to help bring it down.
