Managing prostate size while on cycle
ad
When I’m on cycle, especially if I’m running DHT based orals (I was using 40mg of Anavar daily, for 6 weeks) , my prostate gets a bit enlarged. What is the best &/or most popular ways to manage this? I’ve used a few things like saw palmetto and super beta prostate in the past but didn’t really see any results. Thanks for any guidance you may offer

Try saw palmetto
You went to a doctor and he told you its enlarged or did you find out yourself by feeling around up there? Urinating problems are not just the Prostate, certain preworkouts cause me to feel like I always have to piss.
Self diagnosed. Reduced piss power and my butthole is coming out a bit, not hemorrhoids. Man, I never thought I'd be having these conversations with strangers.
Honestly @IrishMack has the best advice, I am too quick to assume the self reporting is legitimate, some times its hard to tell. I would make sure it actually is a DHT problem causing a prostate by seeing a doctor before following my advice below, be well.
RustyhookerBonus to these forums is all the possibilities and teamwork.
that may not mean prostate, could be diet, could be caffeine, maybe youre getting too much of a cetain vitamin. Never try and be a doctor on your own. If you have access to health insurance use it and get a proper diagnosis, how much you are going to spend playing doctor will add up to how much your doctors visit would be.
Yeah man, I can appreciate this advice. I tend to assess myself more often than I should. I could use a visit to the doc. Not looking forward to having his hand in my butt.
TricepatopsCialis is good for the prostate. It is prescribed by doctors at around 5mgs a day for enlarged prostate.
Cialis definitely works. I haven't had any issues since
I was reading a bit about this. Is relaxes the bladder muscles allowing easier urination, right?
RustyhookerBph! Woo! I run saw palmetto too year round.
Specifically for your prostate or are there other reasons/benefits to running this all the time?
RustyhookerAfter 35 id run a prostate care year round. I went with saw palmetto and last test my psa numbers were super low and that was on cycle with dht includded. Plus conversions....
What dosage are you running the saw palmetto at?
RustyhookerMy caps are 500mg...1 a day. Theres forums on other types of prostate supps too.
Great advice from HanginLow. You can always see doctor and possibly get prescibed an alpha blocker like Cardura or Flomax. Avodart is great as well like HangingLow mentioned and a few INT sources carry it. Good luck bro
DaPumpAlpha blockers are the smartest choise.
Flomax works well and won't mess with your hormones unlike Fina/Duta.
I don’t know anything about alpha blockers. I’ll see what that’s all about.
DaPumpTamsulosin (Flomax) is likely the best option in the a-blocker family, as it has the ability to relax the bladder and prostate smooth muscle without causing major changes in blood pressure.
I’m not familiar with these compounds. I’ll take a look at the literature for these. Thanks for the response.
After you finish your cycle you can run rad 140. Rad shrinks prostate size. It was originally made to be a replacement for testosterone replacement because it doesn'tselective and doesn't mess with the prostate. I run a rad 140 cycle from time to time in between some cycles to help manage prostate size. Other SARMs supposedly shrink prostate size but there is conflicting info on the other SARMs for prostate stuff that's why I only use rad for this purpose. Alot of people will probably doubt and talk down on SARMs but some SARMs(and things that are grouped in with SARMs, cardarine, mk677 etc) have their purpose in the body building world.
Alright my man, I’ll look into this. I don’t know much of anything about rad 140. I’ll start reading up. Sarms get a bad wrap sometimes but I believe there is a lot of utility there. Thanks very much.
DHT is what is simulating your prostate. DHT is created when Test binds to 5 alpha reductase enzyme, similar to how estrogen is produced from aromatase enzyme. The reason DHT compounds aggravate your prostate is because DHTs do not interact with this enzyme since they are already reduced versions of DHT.
I would start researching dutasteride, which is a 5aR inhibitor, meaning it blocks the production of DHT from Testosterone, but not from other DHTs, remember they are already reduced. So you have a couple options
This is what I was looking for. Thanks man. I’m appreciate the guidance.
AnonGreat info brother!
