Finasteride does stop hair loss in most. That said, its most important use is for shrinking the prostate. As men age their prostate grows. If its estrogen, then why does finasteride shrink the prostate. Finataeride only reduces dht and does not lower estrogen. In fact, Vince made a point that...

That is a very safe and well tolerated medication. I prefer flomax but thats me.

Many older men who probably have high estrogen take finasteride and it still shrinks their prostate despite having high estrogen. Estrogen has nothing to do with hair loss.

I never said i endorsed finasteride. However, you are ignoring facts. Dht accelerates hair loss and causes prostate enlargement. If that were not true, how do explain finsteride stopping hair loss and shrinking the prostate? Anyone that tries to say DHT doesnt cause male pattern baldness and...

Finasteride reduces DHT by up to 70%. Finasteride is proven to reduce the size of the prostate. Finasteride is proven to stop hair loss in many men. If finasteride reduces DHT by 70% and while using it, your hair loss stops and your prostate shrinks: what does that say about DHT ? Answer - dht...

Kenny T, you are 51? Is your urine flow now very strong? After surgery, You say when you ejaculate, nothing comes out but do you still feel a very good orgasm? Did you have any ejaculation related issues PRIOR to surgery?

I use tamsulosin ( flomax). I get absolutely no side effects whatsoever. All these types of meds should be taken at nigh before bed. . I do get better erections with it. And of course i urinate better. Its very cheap, i think i pay $6 a bottle. Very cheap generic.

Injected TRT earns high marks for safety, effectiveness Says injections are safer than a patch.. why??? This article may surprise you... Hint, its about dht.

Why do some men go bald in their 40’s rather than 19 when T is highest? Genetics. With the prostate, it starts another growth rate around 40 and begins to slowly grow again. The prostate converts T to dht much more than other sites in the body so not much dht is needed. That said, higher dht...

Im wondering if sexual function wouldnt be compromised by keeping dht levels in the low/ normal area while total and free T are in the upper? Example- dht at 25-35 and total T at 700-800 along with higher free T. I thought i read somewhere that low normal dht is preferred as long as total T is...

Interesting. I wonder how many prostate cancer patients receive Testosterone as well a small doses of finasteride???

Do you have a weak urine stream? Did your doc give you a digital rectal exam where he inserted his finger to feel your prostate? Did he say it was large for your age?

51 I sometimes have a constant irritative feeling in my prostate area. Not pain but it almost feels as if my prostate is swollen.

No, just BPH and some prostate inflammation.

Hey guys, i thought i saw a thread that said your prostate wont grow any larger whether you have a dht level of 150 or only 50. Is this correct ???? I guess you need to have very low dht levels in order to shrink it or prevent further growth. I think reference range is 35-79..

If you needed TRT, why in the world would you want to go back to “ pre TRT levels”??? Also, you were doing 200 mgs per week which in my opinion is a mild steroid cycle.

200 mgs per week of testosterone is not TRT, its a mild steroid cycle. That is NOT good for the prostate. Because your doc says its enlarged and it probably is based on your psa, you would be smart to take the uroxatral or flomax. If you dont, you run the risk of damaging both your bladder and...

Vince This is a bit more recent. MARLBOROUGH, Mass., Jan. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE: BSX) today announced that datafrom a randomized clinical trial demonstrate that Rezūm™ Water Vapor Therapy, a minimally invasive treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia...

I am almost convinced my prostate issues started after using hcg. I too have an irritated prostate that sometimes feels that a tennis ball is inside my rectum. No real pain but i have a feeling of irritation.

Its called “ Rezum “. It evaaporates excess prostate tissue using Steam. Its a very quick procedure that can be done right in the doctors office. No issues with incontinence, no erection issues, no ejaculaion issues. Another procedure called Uro Lift also has no side effects. They say the...

Take flomax at night. It helps with the stream but big time with urge. Flomax at night, cialis at noon.

Doxazosin ( Cardura) is actually used to treat enlarged prostates. No one knows why but many men with BPH have erection issues. Perhaps trying to get aroused when you constantly have an urge to urinate is the culprit.

I dont get any side effects from cialis ( thank the lord). I am getting a prescription for it for prostate enlargement ( BPH ).

Any of you guys use flomax? How old were you when you were first diagnosed with BPH ? I do know if bph is ignored, it can lead to permanant damage to the bladder as well as kidneys.

Age? What are your T levels?

Average range for GH levels in adult males is .4 - 10 ng/ ml.. Like T, which has a normal range of 300 - 900, a level of 350 is low for a 50 year old so i would suspect with Gh, a level of 4 or higher is optimal. To me, Gh could be dangerous so a doc would need to tread lightly when prescribing...

Just read an article about a guy who was a bit low in testosterone. Thyroid was fine and was in ok shape but had low T. Doc prescribed T injections which helped libido but still had low energy despite his T levels now being 785 opposed to his natural level of 326. His free T was also in a good...

Very healthy men with good T levels who excercise experience the same fluctuations in mood and libido as most men on T injections/ replacement. I feel far too many men “ overly adjust dosages” in order to find that perfect level. There really isnt one. The key is to find a dosage that keeps you...

Clomid has a more direct effect on the hypothalamus. Clomid also doesnt raise shbg nearly as much as nolvadex. Nolvadex also lowers IGF1 whereas clomid doesnt seem to do that. Low dose clomid seems to work better. Nolvadex is much better for gyno as its more breast tissue specific..

Interesting that both your LH and Prolactin are high.

I have been off TRT for 18 months and about to get some blood work done. I decided to see if i can recover naturally. That said, for the past 6 weeks i have been feeling somewhat anxious, depressed, and i have zero confidence. These are all signs of low T and i will soon find out as a result of...
