Sudden Elevated DHT?

[SeaDweller]

Curious if anyone has experienced a sudden onset of elevated DHT levels? Over the past 6 months my DHT has jumped from 79 to 123. Estradiol went from 39 to 52.

My program for the last five years is 90mg Test Cyp 2x week. I have RX for AI but rarely if ever need it. I average high 800’s approx 36hrs post shot.

Thoughts?

TRT isn’t a set and forget therapy, and therefore your mileage will vary time to time.

Understandable. I’m hesitant to start tweaking dosages but I’m wondering if DHT is controllable by adjusting my T intake. Also need to note that my PSA went up from 2.34 to 4.0 which I’m assuming is correlated to the bump in DHT/Estrogen. Im following up on thr PSA with a urologist to be on the safe side.

DHT is influenced by Free T levels, and the enzymes that make conversion of T ->DHT possible. So if your body is making more 5-alpha reductase, DHT can increase without any change in Free T levels.

Are upon taking creatine or any other supplement ?

I was playing with Tongkat 400mg & Fadogia 600mg M/W/F which I had ended a few months ago.

Some supplements increase 5 alpha reductase activity to increase DHT

Creatine Monohydrate Increased DHT over 3 weeks - Excel Male TRT Forum

I found this study interesting using creatine monohydrate for a loading week and 2 maintenance weeks. If DHT is considered to be the more important T than FT, maybe that's why there is so much positive data on creatine. It remains to be seen if TRT and creatine might create the famed...
