Cream causing night time urination?

All - I have been on cream for the last 4 weeks after being on injections mostly for several years. I have noticed since going on cream that I wake up 3 -4 times a night to pee which I never had to do while on injections. Is there a reason for this? Does cream cause you to pee more for some reason?

I am applying 2 clicks from Empower to scrotum.

You could have sleep apnea which you are unaware of.
 
Rock - what I was saying is that I have been on injections for years without this issue. It is only in last 4 weeks since I have started cream that I suddenly wake up several times a night to pee.

I understand, one of the effects of the cream is that you convert more Test into DHT, High DHT can result in sleep apnea which results in frequent night time urination.

Just a possibility.

To be on the safe side, you may want to get your PSA and prostate checked.
 
You’re shedding water as your E2 naturally drops at night would be my guess. Estradiol levels fall when we sleep, and combine that with the short lived nature of cream and there’s your problem. There seems to be a water retention threshold. I just dropped my T dose by 20mgs and after a week or so of that I was peeing like crazy for three days.
 
interesting so .....potentially applying cream twice a day like once in the morning and again later in the day might eliminate this issue?

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
