You should be concerned.
I've been taking 1/4 proscar for hairloss for 10 years now. It's been awesome.
Proscar (finasteride) is a DHT-conversion inhibitor, attaching itself to an enzyme that is responsible for test to DHT conversion in a man.
Proscar also treats prostate enlargement (BPH).
When I was on cycle, I have urinary symptoms even with the 1/4 proscar. The solution was upping the dose to 1/2 proscar (realize for BPH, 1 proscar pill [5mg finasteride]) is the recommended daily dose. 1/2 a proscar, and the symptoms completely went away.
My advice is get a script for proscar from your doc. It's cheap since it is generic also, and it is commonly prescribed for BPH.
I can't be sure it'll work, and some folks lose libido from finasteride, but for me, it was great!
Another prostate enlargement medication is Flomax. It works completely differently than proscar. It relaxes the veins etc around the prostate, improving urine flow.
Since this issue is AAS triggered, I think the proscar is your best first action.
I can't comment on the effects of saw palmetto, because I haven't used it. Others state it has positive effects.
Thanks , it has been a little better today, so hopefully it will continue in that direction. i am going to get the saw palmetto today and see how that works. if it doesnt i will hit the doc for something like proscar
I will try the saw palmetto and see how that works, i never had this issue before when on a cycle. this is the first time i have used Tren in a cycle so maybe that is whats causeing it.
tread-mNobody has it until they have it. Lol. Saw palmetto for life and if you can get your hands on propecia it will shrink and soften it even quicker during cycle then you could just run the saw palmetto once the cycle is over. Just take it serious though because it can bite you hard as early as your 40's if you don't address it daily from now on. It amazes me more Docs don't push DHT reducers but I guess they focus on disease and sickness more than prevention since there is not a lot of money in prevention. So we do the prevent stuff and healthy hormones and taking care of things such as DHT is part of that.
tread-mDht will cause your prostate to be as hard as asphalt by the time you are 70 if not younger. Using gear speeds that process if you are not being resposible. First as has been mentioned, you should take saw palmetto daily from now on whether you use gear or not. Swelling is quite common with what it is we do and it will usually cause frequent urination, trouble urinating and quality issues in the sex department. Start your supp if not already and start drinking water all day long without cokes, diet cokes caffeine products etc...this is a big deal brother get on it today. You should be exxperiencing a much better situation soon but stay on it and if not better in a few weeks then maybe check with the doc and get a no homo prostate fingering. You will be hitting the pisser a lot but you will notice the flow is better in terms of pressure and you can actually hold it longer given you are softening the prostate to where now it is kind of hard with potential swelling.
Dude, that sounds like prostrate issues. Have you had any discomfort around the taint, especially after sex or going to the restroom?
There are several compounds that can help (proscar for ex) but given the potentially serious nature of the situation you should definitely get evaluated once you're off. How much longer do you have on cycle?
any idea where you can get proscar?
Had the same problem, had it checked, nothing. Saw Palmetto helped ALOT.
Anondht could be a problem I suggest that if you have this problem you get yourself to a doctor. asap.
sounds like prostate problems i get them when i am on as well some times worse than others i have been to a uralogist and he said it was a little swollen and to cut out caffiene and alcohol but i dont drink so thats no problem but love my coffee
AnonCaffeine, sugar, fruit juices, chocolate all aggravate this.
That could be slightly swollen prostrate gland, progesterone causes this so i have read?
i think it is dht that cause it could be a number of things
I have the opposite problem, i piss all day long.
Same here, is that bad?#
Hope not, I blame it on all that water I drink.
AnonI have the same issue. Gets back to normal when I go off. IDK about the long term effects. Straight Test cycles are the worst. I am not stating it is okay, just I also have the problem too.
thanks, its like something is impedeing the flow, almost like its hard to come out... atleast i know its not just me, that makes me feel a little better.. hope we are ok though doc...
AnonDon't be a knucklehead like me, keep researching and ask your Doc....a real one ....LOL
Lol I trust you more then my reall doc Abby.
