Tongkat and Prolactin?

[ProgressiveOverload]

good morning. I am new here so I apologize for appearing “needy” and posting a thread immediately upon singing up. My good friend is an active member here and we were discussing this topic when he suggested I post it here.

Basically I’m a 31 y/o male and started using Tongkat Ali to raise natural test and aid in binding muscle (I have no issues with libido or muscle building, just wanted a boost).

In three short weeks I felt a pretty drastic increase in libido, as well increased strength / intensity in the gym. I then ordered a blood test to see how my levels were trending (results attached).

A couple days after receiving my results I got itchy nipples. A few days later I noticed a small (pea sized) lump had now formed behind my right nipple. Size my E2 is in check, I attribute this to elevated prolactin. It should also be noted my prolactin is 23, which I don’t think is incredibly high, especially given that I had my blood test done at 6AM, which is when prolactin is naturally at its highest. I have since halted Tongkat and order P5P, which is arriving today.

I still had a high libido while the lump formed, which I find interesting.

Has anyone experienced anything similar and/or have recommendations.

Thank you so much,
Alex

Do you have blood tests before tongkat ali?

Increased prolactin usually leads to problem reaching orgasm, not problems with libido.

No, unfortunately this was my first time getting labs. I don’t want to be drastic and try to get Caber. Hoping just stopping Tongkat with P5P will help.

Thanks for responding.

Ive had gyno since youth my dad was fat but not much and he had man boobs. So mu genetics got fd on that but i noticed the tongkat ali making my nipple that was less visible more swollen(look more round not flat on my pec) i am curious how ur doing because i started p5p with my tongkat today hoping it will help but either way i knew surgery was something id probably have to get in the future because of my genetics
