DHT?
i have an upcoming doctors appointment, after talking to a nurse in my family i believe i may have an enlarged prostate, but thats not confirmed yet. i do have all the symptoms of it (i looked up symptoms on webmd and i have every single one). an enlarged prostate is kinda rare in sumone my age, the only thing i can think of that caused this is the dht from test. so if this is the case, and test caused prostate to enlarge, does that mean i don't respond all that well to dht then, and if so should i take this into consideration when planning my next cycle and stay away from dht? basically what im trying to ask is an enlarged prostate somewhat common on test? i was looking into running mast p my next cycle, but if i'm having problems with dht on test, are the problems gonna be way worse on mast? ie hairloss, full head of hair and dun't wana risk losing it. does hairloss always occur with mast, or does it only happen if already predisposed to male pattern baldness?

There are medications like Proscar (finasteride) that is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that will limit the conversion to DHT from any Test u are taking. Proscar is a 5 mg dose of finasteride targeted at the prostate while Propecia is a 1 mg dose targeted at the scalp. But if u take the larger dose u get both benefits.
This med does nothing for compounds that are already DHT derivatives like Mast since it doesn't get 5-alpha reduced.
I feel like saw palmetto should be a staple for every man. Like a multi vitamin. Always keep prevention in mind as first priority.
Hitman187good point.... i guess it couldn't hurt too add it to the arsenal of supps i already take. my multivitamin alone (animal pak) is 11 pills, so whats a few more pills especially if it can improve your health.
roger that... at least once every other night is a must..
It's definitely possible with just test as it does convert to dht. If you really are prone to those type of side effects then you definitely wanna stay away any of the dht derivatives (primo, mast, winny). I'm not 100 percent sure but things like dbol, and tren are extremely androgenic so they might cause the same problems as the dht drugs.
As for hair loss, typically if you are prone to mpb steroids will just accelerate the rate at which you lose it. So maybe it would have taken 10-15 years naturally, on gear it might only take 2. And those are just random figures I just explain it clearly. Look at guys like jay cutler, Dennis wolf lee Haney, dorian yates. Those guys took tons of gear and stil have hair, except dorian, he saved it recently but he did back when he was winning mr o's. But then there's ronnie, and phil who are bald, and kai is def prone to mpb. If you look at his hair during the 2012 olympia compared to the 2013 he really did some damage in just a year. So typically if it's not in your genes to go bald your good, but nothing's set in stone. So just keep an eye on it.
