dht

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...

I would like to use this thread to post some interesting researches and studies that completely debunked the DHT myth about hair loss. This would be the first well documented video to start from: Bullet points: - Hypothyroidism is one of the main culprit, signaling the testis to produce less...

Hi all I’m only 7 weeks into TRT with Defy. All good so far. First follow up in about 2 weeks with labs. Question for the group - I opted to keep things simple and start with just T Cyp @ 80mg twice per week (I have high SHBG). Again, things are going well and couldn’t care less about testicular...

I have many of the same issues that I see here everyday, not great energy, low libido but its better than before trt. I've been on injectables for 2 years. My current weekly protocol is 100mg T, split SubQ twice per week and 500 iu HCG twice a week. I just got my labs back and have a consult...

Has anyone on here had success using proviron or any type of DHT analogue to lower SHBG without completely commiting to full blown TRT? I’ve heard success stories of some guys lowering SHBG using proviron without it shutting down their HPTA.

Hello everyone! I just want to say that I am not on trt, or ever took some kind of steroid or drug or something like that. After starting natural bodybuilding in my teens, I felt great at 18-21 years old, I had an easy time putting on muscle and getting pumps, libido was sky high, agression and...

First of all , all help is appreciated, if you have some idea or input that might help then please share it. I have been dealing with the Side Effects caused by Arimidex for 5 years now. In 2014 ( i was 21 years old) i used Arimidex due to little bit High estrogen few months post cycle ( tbol...

For those with a rising PSA level and concerns about prostate health, I thought I would give my results from taking this supplement. I am reasonably certain my elevated PSA levels reflected a growth in my prostate and not prostatitis, as I had before and after DRE exams and the estimated size...

Hello everyone, I'm new here on the forum, I've had a look and I think it's a really professional and well run forum. I would run a DHT cycle of 12 weeks. I would use a transdermal gel of DHT (like a stronger version of Andractim). The dose would be 20mg of DHT per day. I have already run a...

Gentlemen, I thought that this was interesting Currently, there is no consensus regarding the expected concentration levels of intra-prostatic sex steroids in patients with Prostate Cancer (PCa). Our objective was to assess the concentration levels of sex steroids in prostatic tissue and...

Any of you have a concrete answer as to how dht blocks estrogen? Also how blocking dht raises estrogen?

Any guys having luck with testosterone cream applied to the scrotum? I was just prescribed 20% testosterone cream, 100 mg to be applied to scrotum every morning in addition to my Test C 50 mg subQ twice/week to help out with my libido. My DHT was 56 no/dl (30-85). After the fourth day I do feel...

Mine is 55 in a 30 to 85 range, This may sound alright but remember guys whose DHT is bottom-normal are likely the ones whose TT is bottom-normal like 300. (I mean you can't really trust the normal range for something like this.) I'm thinking maybe supoptimal DHT is the cause of my low libido.

I was just wondering what causes high DHT? I have read somewhere that it can be caused by low e2 which can cause “DHT rage”. Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone could give their experiences with TD testosterone gel and how quickly it raised DHT. I know there are a lot of determining factors but i'm just looking for personal experiences with time frames or general information to give me an idea. I've lost my sex drive due to...

I've tried it twice for increasing semen volume (which decreases on TRT even with HCG) and it works. However either time I notices a huge increase in my facial hair which was presumably caused by an increase in DHT. I'm not sure it was the lecithin or other stuff that I was taking with it. The...

I started TRT about a year and a half ago after being diagnosed with bilateral varicoceles and showing a total T in the low 400's and a free T of 5. I had the varicoceles successfully removed but started TRT because my symptoms were terrible and I was not sure what damage was done by the...

Once weekly, twice weekly, and daily injection protocols....Which of these injection schedules do you think yields the highest DHT levels? Thanks

Elevated DHT has not been associated with increased risk of prostate disease (e.g., cancer or benign hyperplasia) nor does it appear to have any systemic effects on cardiovascular disease safety parameters (including increased risk of polycythemia) beyond those commonly observed with available T...

I've been on TRT for 6 months now with varying results. My main question is about high DHT levels, erections, and any possible serious side effects. My doctor, who is specializing in HRT for several years now, transitioned from being a surgeon to anti aging medicine. She has more experience...

So from my understanding, progesterone lowers DHT as well as keeps E2 in check, amongst a bunch of other benefits. This is a possible explanation why young men with high natural test don't have issues with baldness and elevated E2 issues. It's their normal/ high levels of progesterone keeping...

Benefits associated with lowered serum DHT levels after 5α-reductase inhibitor (5AR-I) therapy in men have contributed to a misconception that circulating DHT levels are an important stimulus for androgenic action in target tissues (e.g., prostate). Yet evidence from clinical studies indicates...

Dehydrotestosterone- Man's Enemy or Friend ? DHT – FRIEND OR ENEMY? With the exception of estradiol, no hormone is more misunderstood than dihydrotestosterone, DHT. In fact, many men actually fear DHT, going out of their way to lower it and frustrate its biological activity. However, DHT is...

I have been on TRT for over 4 years with generally good results. It does seem that I have to keep tweaking my protocol to maintain good levels of hormones and feel good. It also seems that I feel best in the first weeks that I am adapting to a change in protocol. All the following tests were...

Hello, Going to provide a brief summary. 52 year old Hypogonadic male with ED, etc. Had bilateral microsurgical varicocelectomy to remove varicose veins which I had for 20 years. Idiot doctors should have had me have the procedure long ago but GP's and general urologists are idiots. Now my...

I have used the search function but haven't been able to find the answer Does anyone have lab evidence of a raise in DHT that's disproportionately greater than the related increase in T. Or do you know of any reason why this could happen? i realize that DHT is not evil, and that elevated DHT...

The Effects of Injected Testosterone Dose and Age on the Conversion of Testosterone to Estradiol and Dihydrotestosterone in Young and Older Men Background: During testosterone (T) therapy, T is partly converted to 17 beta-estradiol (E2) and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Effects of age...

For those of you who switched to sub q, what has been the impact to your Total T, Free T, Estradiol and DHT ? Thanks !!!
