Do you mean prostatitis (infection) or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) - inflammation? Please expand on your symptoms.

Ya prostatitis..went to doc and that's what he said it was..was on antibiotics for 10 days which didn't do much..it has gotten better though..I had same issue three yrs ago while on trt. That's why I stopped it but had no clue what it was..Itsttoo odd because it seemed to take 8 or so months before it showed up both times..all was going well before..I'm wondering if my newest protocol will help it..although I've been off trt for 5 or 6 weeks I upped my anastrozole dose from .25 to .50 which brought estrogen from 58 to 30 or so from what I remember..will high estrogen levels cause prostaititus? I'm planning on starting back up as soon as symptoms are fully gone

Take a moment and read the excellent link that Nelson provided so that you can become more familiar with prostatitis in all its perplexing reality (bacterial, non-bacterial, chronic, acute). Estradiol does not cause prostatitis, nor does testosterone. Is the doctor treating you for the prostate issues also managing your TRT protocol? It sounds as if you're not receiving clear answers/direction to some fundamental questions. Starting and stopping TRT is a ticket to misery.

No my trt is not treating the prostaititus my normal doc is..I'm going back to him next week to see what the next plan is gonna be..it seems to be going away so that's a good sing..I will add though I had been doing a lot of biking this summer which could have caused it as well.

I had prostatitis before trt and got better on trt. I never had much luck with antibiotics for it. You may try a prostate massager and see if it relieves it. I think it was DR Mark Gordon saying the man fluids just laying in there looks toxic to the body.

Thanks for the read nelson..now that I've read it my doc said with his last check one side of prostate was bigger than the other..I've known this for 10 yrs or so it's been the same..I should get checked for bph I'm thinking or I guess I already have it
