Help with urinary issues while on TRT - BPH or 'overactive pelvic floor muscle'

Preliminary labs are above. This was taken on 1/4/21, before my injection. The week before on 12/28/20 I began to split the Test dose to 0.4ml twice a week (Monday AM, Thursday PM). Keeping the AI at 0.5 EOD, 500IU HCG 3x a week. No Cialis. I assume it's way too soon for these labs to reflect...

Help with urinary issues while on TRT - BPH or 'overactive pelvic floor muscle'

Labs are above. I did take Finasteride for a year to lower DHT but it made no impact on the urinary symptoms, eventually I stopped it as it was not making a difference. I don't know my SHBG as it is not on the labs requested by the Doc. Does the Cialis crash E2 levels?
