Another health problem to consider

Nettle root can also make you need less test in the first plac -- it binds to SHBG and I can tell a difference in the way I feel when I take it.
 
I started using steroids 4 years ago, went on TRT last year. About 18 months ago, I was having trouble urinating, so went to the quack. I'm in my mid 40s. He put me on flomax first. I was on it for about 3 days and was having sex with my gf....and I couldn't ejaculate. I came but no sperm came out. WTF?

Did some research and this is sometimes a side effect of Flomax. The Dr didn't tell me that. Anyway, I marched back in and he put me on Proscar and it works like a charm.

I get my prostrate tested twice a year and no problems so far. However, my father had prostrate cancer in his mid 60s so I'm assuming it's in my cards at some point. He died at 85, nothing to do with prostrate.
 
I'll fess up here...about to turn 39 and for this past year, I've noticed a slightly weaker stream as well as often a "delayed" stream where I'm standing their trying for about 10-15 seconds before it really gets going. Haven't really been on what I'd consider a true blast in almost three years, but rather have been going up a few hundred mgs of anabolics and test, then back down. Finally decided around 36-37 that chasing size all year and constantly being a slave to pounding food nearly nonstop considering my metabolism, that I was happy enough at a lean 6ft 250-255ish. And would be happier leading a more "balanced" overall life, and focus on being a leaner, tighter waisted, 240ish while still working on bringing up certain areas as much as possible. Just found out my paternal great-grandfather had postate cancer...but they say nowadays, that almost any male would eventually if they lived long enough. Never noticed the weaker stream back then, but I did notice that "something" down there felt different when doses esp androgens were higher....Dr. never brought up prostate yet, when do the General MD's usually recommend that? 40, 45? Somewhere in there I thought. God I hated propecia when I tried it for my hair, sure hope I can get by with a Rx for daily Cialis ;) But good call Maldorf, definitely don't hear enough about the prostate around here..think Dante's brought it up here and there. Masteron was def the one thing that blew it up...felt like I was sitting on a tennis ball a few times, lol.
 
collagen sythesis is also something that is negatively impacted in a big way.

i have had good luck with nettle root and cranberry extract, for psa and swellling with some ppl.
 
Maldorf, research the effects of stinging nettle root extract and prostate hyperplasia....it helps in multiple different pathways reducing the enlargement of the prostate....

it could be the thing for you without needing heavier medications or (god forbid man) - surgery :(

Thanks. I am really impressed with the Flomax. In less than 24 hours I have seen a lot of relief. The power of the stream is way up. I think this may be all that I need which is good. Using the proscar to block formation of DHT can lead to more estrogen I think, because one of the potential sides is gyno. I don't want to go there unless I have to, doctor is that way too.
 
The last studies I saw seemed to say itt was the DHT produced in the prostate itself that was a big factor and not what was in the blood. But I have included some good info below.
Prostate Cancer Prevention | Life Extension

Looks like it is formed in several different tissues:"It is produced from the less potent testosterone by the enzyme 5α-reductase in select tissues, and is the primary androgen in the genitals, prostate gland, seminal vesicles, skin, and hair follicles."

Makes sense since it causes prostate growth and baldness. Anything that raises your DHT levels would cause an increase. Easy cure for me would be to stop taking testosterone, but I told the doc I would get surgery before I do that. My total test levels before going on TRT were about 35-50 for 1 year. Ive never felt so bad, wanted to die.

Good feedback, thanks. I'm on Flomax now but haven't had to opportunity to see any issues with ejaculation. If it were to happen I honestly wouldn't care now. So far the drug seems to be help a lot. I can go much better. I think there is still more room for improvement because ive only been on it for about 24 hours. Works fast!

How about the proscar. Have you had any gynocomastea problems? I'm a bit worried about that since I'm on TRT with injections. I don't want to mess with creams.

I am also 39 and started noticing about a year or two ago that my flow is greatly reduced by I'd say at least half compared to my 20's. Also it can take awhile to get going as well. The odd thing is I have had a rectal exam once while on cycle and and once a little bit after coming off. Both times the Dr said my prostate was slightly or a little enlarged but that's it. So I don't know if they are just inexperienced or its something else causing it. The one common denominator when having symptoms is always masteron in my cycle at 250-400mg. The symptoms do get a better after I come off but it takes awhile and it has never gotten back to normal. Personally like maldorf stated I think this is going to be an issue for a lot more aas users then we think. I know it has me concerned enough. I am probably going to remove masteron permanently as an option, which sucks because I like the look and the way I feel on it.

Yeah. masteron is a DHT derivative and so has effects similar to. It is great for making your muscles hard and defined. I used it in the past. It must mimic DHT and bind to the same receptors.

"Masteron aka Drostanolone Propionate is a dihydrotestosterone (DHT) derived anabolic steroid. Actually, Masteron is the DHT hormone that has been structurally modified by the inclusion of a methyl group at the carbon 2 position as reflected by its chemical name 2 alpha-Methyl-4,5-dihydrotestosterone propionate."

It probably hangs around in the body longer than DHT too, so it breaks down slower. Longer affects.

I'm glad you are aware of your issue. Mine didn't start in until I was about age 46-47. I'm 48 now. Ive only been on about 100mg/wk test through doctor though the past 9 years. Keep an eye on it and don't let it get too bad. It can become a medical emergency if you cant urinate. It will back up and cause kidney problems and more. My father told me how his father, my grandfather, had to rush to the ER and get a catheter put in. Seems to be in our family, but at an older age. Mine is a bit premature. My father was about 55 when he started taking meds for his. My uncle on my mother's side had his removed at about the age of 65 or so. I think the steroids basically bring it on faster, at a younger age because of the increase in DHT.
