Hi All,
First post, hopefully a good one.
I've read the main thread on managing Polycythemia (elevated HGB/HCT) caused by TRT.
One post in there by Nelson references a correlation between elevated DHT and Polycythemia. (link removed as I don't have 4 posts yet)
I am on 100mg T-Cypionate twice per week + a tiny bit of anastrazole.
For years, I have had a unit of blood removed every 4-8 weeks to manage the HGB/HCT. It would be nice to do that less often.
My DHT when measured at trough is slightly over the top of range. At peak, it will be further over range.
I'm aware of the sexual side effects in Finasteride users. The people experiencing damage, seem to be those who were not on TRT at the time they took Finasteride. I'd suspect that they drove their DHT down too far for too long, but perhaps there is another cause.
My questions are:
1. Has anyone here successfully reduced the HGB/HCT growth rate by lowering their DHT? Any details?
2. If I was to carefully reduce my DHT from over-range to 50-75% of range (measured at trough), am I going to see side effects?
I appreciate any advice.
