Take arimidex and get your estrogen levels very low and tell me if your prostate shrinks. Lowering dht has shown time amd time again to shrink the prostate. Again, estrogen may play some part but DHT is the true culprit. If it werent, finasteride would not work since finasteride Lowers DHT and...

I use flomax and get no side effects. If anyone has prostate issues, they NEED to use something or else you will cause irreversible damage to your bladder or kidneys. If i is very minor you can watch and wait i suppose but if you notice your are starting to strain when urinating, you need to...

Captain How old are you and how old were you when your prostate first enlarged? What are your symtoms? Do you take any meds? Flomax, ect ?

Genetics can play a part as well. We know that dht causes hair loss and prostate growth. What we dont know is how much is too much. That said, those prone to hair loss will see an acceleration of hair loss with higher levels of dht, that we know. As for prostate growth, BPH, dht does cause that...

I dont mean a 65 year old should walk around with a T level of 200-300, thats not what i meant. In fact there are plenty of healthy, in shape 65 year olds with T levels in the 500’s. Even President Trump had a total T level of 471 and he isnt even in shape. Lets say you are 65 and have low T and...

I am a huge supporter of testoserone only and perhaps small doses of hcg every few months and thats it. Usually if T dosages are not high ( over 120 mgs per week) and you miantain low body fat, estrogen is not a problem. To me, and its only my opinion, too many men are looking to feel perfect...

As we age, it seems as if we become more sensitive to dht. Even normal dht levels can pose a problem for men. Also, we all have genetic thresholds for dht. Example, the range for dht is 35 - 79. A person may be at the higher end, lets say 70 and never lose any hair. However, if he takes T and...

Are you asian or muslim? They usually have a lot of hair, whether thick or thin. I notice many blacks shave their heads and seem to lose their hair in their late 20’s/30’s. Blacks also have a higher rate of prostate cancer. Maybe blacks have higher levels of dht? They do have naturally higher T...

I have been using flomax for over a year with no side effects. Its a pretty safe and benign medication. It relaxes the prostate and bladder neck. I think its a great medication. Rapaflo is supposed to be even better. You could get reduced ejaculation volume but its not a big deal at all. Its...

Not to sound graphic but do any of you experience irritation after ejaculation? I guess its in my crotch area ( perinium). For a day or two i have an feeling of irritation and i have a sensation to urinate.

I am 50

I never felt horrible. My libido was very low and energy somewhat low but i still worked our. Also, i expected to feel bad since my natural T production was very low from doing synthetic T. That said, when you come off therapeutic dosages of 100 mgs per week or lower, the crash isnt severe...

Its been a year and a week since my last shot of T, i was doing 90 mgs per week. I felt good on T, no doubt but was tired of using a drug and then constantly worrying about side effects. I was doing mild steroid cyles for about 14 years and my T levels never seemed to come back so i started...

This deprives blood flow to the prostate and shrinks it by almost 50%. No sexual side effects at all. This seems like a great therapy. Prostatic artery embolization (PAE, or prostate artery embolisation) is a developing non-surgical technique for treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy...

I would not be surprised if testing with very low dose finasteride is being conducted for dht related side effects. Perhaps .25 and .5mg dosages opposed to 1mg amd 5 mg. Finstasteride side effects do seem to be dose dependant ( to an extent ). Low dose Finasteride could very well become an...

You can take 5mgs of cialis every other day which will still render very good results and minimize any side effects as it lasts over 36 hours. You can also take 2.5 mgs daily and see results.

The over the counter versions, whether liquid or pills, simply will not render the results of prescription Vascepa. Thats not to say over the counter doesnt help which i believe it does, just not near the benefit as the prescription fish oil.

I think low dose cialis will be found to give many health benefits not yet studied. I think it can also be used as an adjunctive therapy for blood pressure for those that may be borderline high.

Precription EPA fish oil lowers tryglycerides much more than over the counter unless you are taking 20 plus pills at a time. If you take that much over the counter fish oil, you run the risk of raising LDL cholesterol. Prescription version is 4 grams of pure EPA.

I may have posted this but currently there are 3 different brands of prescription fish oil. However, Vascepa is the only one that only contains EPA fatty acid and not DHA. The DHA in fish oil is whats responsible for an increase in LDL. They just completed a ground breaking study on over 8,000...

I take 5 mgs of cialis every other day. I have mild bph and it helps. Also helps with morning erections. As you get older, regardless of T, blood flow can be hindered and your body needs blood flow for nutrients, especially your penis. So for me, what does low dose cialis do ??? 1)Keeps my blood...

What is your age? Your dosage is 80 mgs of T every other day??? Or 80 mgs split up into very small dosages 3 x per week?

Madman This is interesting, i have never seen this before. Is this factual? I wonder if clomid’s estrogenic actions could exacerbate bph through this. “In addition, the enzyme P450 aromatase that converts androgens to estrogens is highly expressed not only in fat tissue but also in the...

Another note, a big belly/ fat( lots of estrogen activity) can make the body more sensitive to dht in the prostate? This is something to also look into. We also have a genetic component to bph as well. Some guys get bph at a very young age, 40-45.

Madman, i appreciate the studies and i also find them very interesting. However, how do we explain the fact that both finasteride and Adovart which prevent the conversion of T to DHT shrink the prostate as well as prevent the prostate from getting larger??? If those studies regarding DHT are...

I read that study before but it was not a large study and most medical experts dismiss those results. Again, if DHT isnt the culprit, why does finasteride or avodart shrink the prostate???? Many men who use T report that their prostate feels “ swollen” after using higher dosages of T and...

Many men suffer from BPH, prostate enlargement. As we get older, our prostates grow and it starts to squeeze the urethra which is the tube that carries urine from the bladder through the penis. When this constriction happens, our urine stream gets weak, it takes longer to urinate, and we...

Weekly injections are higher dosed single doses. That means higher total T peaks and higher DHT peaks. Smaller frequent dosing results in more stable/ lower T and ower DHT peaks. Higher dht can result in hair loss and prostate issues in those inclined.

It definitely increases libido. Most men cannot get an erection because their libido is low and they only initiate sex because they think they have to, not because they want to. The penis also has androgen receptors in which Testosterone helps.

This should be getting approved very soon in the US. Its a prescription fish oil. Amarin Surges on Fish-Oil Drug Data

Rapaflo is newer and directly affects the prostate. The older meds such as condura are more systemic and affect the whole body. Rapaflo, flomax, and uroxatrol are prostate specific.
