I recently experienced some health problems and decided to take a break from all supps. I gave away my whole stash and decided it was time address my mental and physical state which for the last few years has gotten consistently worse.
The first step was to meet with a therapist and get suggestions on how to tackle these problems.
My therapist suggested that along with our visits I needed to meet with a Gastroenterologist and run some tests. Realizing that it had been an eternity since I had my GI scoped and done bloods, I decided it was a good idea and made an appointment with a GI doc.
My GI doc ordered an endoscopy, colonoscopy stool test and blood work. The blood work came back fine but the endoscopy showed I had H-Pylori infection and the colonoscopy revealed 3 polyps which he removed and sent for testing.
Doc put me on 3 meds to treat the bacteria infection which should eradicate the vermin in my gut but he was a little concerned with the polyps.
The lab results indicated the polyps were tubular adenoma and what he called the building blocks for cancer.
I have to go back in 3 years for another colonoscopy to see if they're returned. If I'm clear then I can wait 5 years before my next exam.
During the followup visit after he finished going over the results I told him about my use of HGH/AAS. I asked if there is any correlation between hormone use and the growth of polyps, especially a HGH polyp connection.
He didn't seem to know much but said there was no evidence to suggest that hormone use contributed to the polyps.
I've played with different doses but stick to 2-3 ius for 6-8 months at a time. Last year I did run 4ius of pharma for several months to see if it was worth the money. Most of my gh runs in the past with generics were in the 2-4 iu range.
Has anybody that uses gh had issues with polyps? Am I over reacting or should I be legitimately concerned?
I'm not worried about AAS use as my doses stay at HRT levels and I generally only use test and a low dose var. The gh however does concern me and I'm not sure if it's something I should continue.
Part of me thinks I should so when my next colonoscopy is due I'll know if they returned and I'll have my answer.
Thanks
