Enlarged Prostate and DHT levels

[broker]

Hey guys, i thought i saw a thread that said your prostate wont grow any larger whether you have a dht level of 150 or only 50. Is this correct ????
I guess you need to have very low dht levels in order to shrink it or prevent further growth. I think reference range is 35-79..

No one can tell you a certain level of X results in Y. Can't be done. Are your prostate concerns cancer related? Prostatitis? etc etc

No, just BPH and some prostate inflammation.

How old are you? BPH is a fact of life almost every man faces as he ages.

I sometimes have a constant irritative feeling in my prostate area. Not pain but it almost feels as if my prostate is swollen.

You can’t go by that without a full check up. I had the same feeling but my PSA came out .8 and Dre normal so there was nothing to do - and the discomfort went away. Taking cialis nightly -5mg- has been shown to help BPH if that’s what you have.

Some studies suggest blocking production of dht in the prostate helps growth of the gland with aging (a condition known as benign prostatic, or bph for short) and may prevent prostate cancer. On the other hand, dht administration may shrink the prostate, suggesting it may be beneficial for some men.Jun 22, 2007
