I used to be on TRT with Nebido or cypionate (IM) but I had to stop because of severe exaggeration of my prostate situation. Any input on this regarding handling of dosage or any other tip helping to get back on TRT?
 
Have you been checked by a doctor?

Yes. The doctor diagnosed bph. He prescribed OMNIC (tamsuloside) but not finasteride. So I'm doomed now. No more TRT as it clearly feels to aggravate my prostate. And here is the question which doctor don't bother or don't know to answer: how do I regulate my T dosages so to not interfere with my prostate?

What's your PSA at?

Did you monitor your E2 levels? The only time I notice any prostate problems is if my E2 is too high. My PSA was never an issue and never went above 2.0.
 
Out of the OP talk, but anyone knows the exactly half life of Testosterone Undecanoate? Some places says 30 days, others says 20 days, etc.

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.
