I would try Rezum or the other water ablation first , some say Turp is a bit like using a chainsaw, plenty risk of sides , imotence, retro ejac, incontinence etc , it will get you peeing okay but as for the rest, last resort in my opinion, I had Rezum and researched them all to death. So sides from Rezum, maybe tad less cum which is maybe from Rezum , maybe not, but can live with that. Good vid though

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.
