There is a lot of positive info about the benefits of HCG, but I don’t think it’s all positive. IMO higher levels of HCG/LH can contribute to higher PSA levels and BPH, at least in some percentage of men. But as I note, I am not firm in this opinion. One has to also realize it’s not natural...

For those with a rising PSA level and concerns about prostate health, I thought I would give my results from taking this supplement. I am reasonably certain my elevated PSA levels reflected a growth in my prostate and not prostatitis, as I had before and after DRE exams and the estimated size...

I was just taken off of testosterone because of high PSA. it had climbed all year to 4.0. Urologist said ( that's it ) did a finger up the backside test and said it is enlarged. Yanked my TRT meds and had scheduled me a Biopsy. a week later he does the biopsy and that sucked in itself. Now I...

There seems to be some conflict on the web with regards to L-Carnitine and PSA levels. Some websites to avoid Carntine and others do not. One of my sport supplements Alpha Jym has 1500mg Acetyl L-Carnitine. Anyone hear this correlation?

Been on Test Cyp for 2 years and for the most part my dose has been consistently low. At a trough my T was 297. After complaining to my Uro that I was still fatigued and needing more sleep he bumped me to 180mg weekly from 150...every month i would be increased 10mg to gauge how I feel. Finally...

This is very interesting! Has anyone used this therapy? A minimally invasive procedure designed to shrink prostate tissue with a series of nine-second blasts of steam offers men a new treatment for urinary symptoms commonly associated with enlarged prostates. The procedure, called Rezūm...
