    Enlarged prostate...

    Hey fellas, check out my recent post here, which has some history and details of the cycle I'm on now...

    http://www.fitnessgeared.com/forum/showthread.php?t=76573


    After getting some advice from the guys, I thought I would go to see a trusted doctor who helped me after a motorcycle accident and get a complete physical and blood work to help to decide if it was safe to stay on another 3 months.

    I had been having a mild fever for a few days as well, so it seemed a good time to go!

    Turns out my prostate is enlarged, significantly. I'd been having a little trouble starting to piss for a few days, but didn't think much of it. He did an ultrasound and found that it was simple benign hypertrophy. He also did a urinalysis and blood work, which was clean except for a mild urinary tract infection.

    I was up front with him about everything I am taking and my cycle history and his advice was to stop completely, forever. I think he is a bit closed minded about steroids and being that he is 61 years old, he's pretty old school.

    I have been taking 750mg a week of test-e, and thought that I would cut back to a maintenance dose of 250 a week for 2-3 weeks while I take saw palmetto to try and manage the enlarged prostate. Then step it back up gradually and watch for symptoms.

    Any ideas on this? I know I am being stubborn, and maybe even showing some borderline psychological addiction tendencies... I should probably listen to the doc, but have any of you had issues like this in the past?

    Thanks!

    Dont cut back that much do 500mg a week and keep taking the saw palmetto and what ever else is out there,if it hasnt help the cut back to 250mg but see what works for ya.you dont wanrt to cut back to much to fast. Why didnt the doc give you anything for the prostate. and yeah him being 61 and old school thats what he would say.

      Oh and I bet theres a whole lot of us here on the board with a prostate thats swollen or inlarged somewhat and we know its from the gear and we dont go to the doc to get it checked. my point is everyone should go get a prostate exam and have the doc get it tetsted just incase. every 5-6 months everyone should do this imo

            I had some issues with prostate on my last cycle ,pissing 4-5 x a night.After I was done my prostate went back to normal.It just happens I've been "on" for almost 6 weeks now and went for a check-up at the urologists (I'm almost 40),everything was fine when he did the physical check-up,but I still have to get my blood work done this week.The whole finger in the ass had me scared as hell,when I seen him put that lube stuff on his finger it had me all ****ed up.That shit hurt,I'm an exit only type of a guy.I felt violated when I left ,I swear.I don't know if he enjoyed it ,but he was laughing and I was squeezing my ass.I know its a serious subject,but damn there is got to be another way.I'm actually scared if I have to do it again .And I know I'll go to a female doctor with small fingers.

                If you had bloodwork done and your PST levels came in high, you really need to be taking proscar/finasteride. Even if you didn't get bloodwork, proscar 5mg tabs are for an enlarged prostate but bodybuilders can control elevated DHT levels with a much smaller dose (1-2mg per day). 100 pills will be around $100. Not bad if you are taking 1/2 per day.
                Another is to keep the test levels in your cycle low. Use non aromatizing androgens.

                  Unfortunately, I have a hypersensitivity to Finasteride. My lips and hands swol up like you wouldn't believe when I tried taking it with my first cycle when I was concerned about hairloss...

                  FUZO - Good looking out bro, thanks for the advice. I trimed back to 250 last week as it was taking about a minute for me to start a urine stream when I had to piss... but will bump it up to 500 and keep you guys posted. I'm 8 days into the Saw Palmetto so should see some results by next week.

                    Did a doctor diagnose that? Only 1.3% had peripheral edema (compared to.9% placebo). cheilitis (swelling of the lips) wasn't even mentioned as a side effect. At what dose?

                      This may be a little out there but i speak from personal experience, no scientific data to back any of it. I'm 50, on HRT and here's what i've found works, sex...... Seriously, when i was working in logging camp's it would be 3 to 4 weeks before i had any and it was like pissing through the eye of a needle. But when i'm at home and have sex 4 to 5 times a week i have no issue's.

                      I even put it to the test, went 6 days with no sex and had my prostate checked and it was swolen, had it tested after regular sex and prostate was fine.

                      K you can start laughing now, but hey, it works for me

                        I think there is something to that.

                          No, but within about a minute of taking a finasteride tablet, my lips, hands and neck turned red and became quite swollen. Within 5 minutes my face looked like it was going to burst and the insides of my arms and top of my stomach/chest had turned red. After initially panicking and thinking I might go into anaphylactic shock, I calmed down and took some benadryl and was back to normal in about an hour or two.

                          Update:
                          back to 500mg /wk this week, no discernible change. If symptoms don't worsen, I will continue at 500. More next week...
