SQ vs IM side effects...

I switched to IM, a while back, just to see if anything positive was noted. I noticed my morning urine stream was very poor. Just the morning one...thinking prostate effect. I did not change anything else, other than where the shot was administered. Anyone else ever experience this?
 
One morning could be anything. I'm prone to non-bacterial prostatitis. Stress makes it worse as does lack of sex. Been through one Urolift. It can vary from day to day and wax and wane over weeks. I have good weeks and bad weeks, no relationship to T inj and it wouldn't happen that fast. It takes weeks/months to see an effect of a 5 ARi on prostate volume and your DHT will drop quickly after starting a 5-ARi. Likewise on the way up. Now a nasty case of prostatitis, esp when flow is restricted to begin with can blow it up in a couple days. Just my experiences.

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.
