Swollen Prostate Issues

Warrior08 · Mar 9, 2020

Hi Guys

I been running running 750mg test cyp every week with 12.5mg aromasin 3 times a week. Ive been on for 6 weeks. And with in th last 2-3 weeks my prostate has swollen up pretty good. So bad i thought i had an UTI. Got tested for everything under the sun and everything came back fine.

Is there anything i can to do help my prostate other then lower test.

I love a test only cycle of 600-750mg i feel great and get great results but this prostate thing is not feeling good right now.

It might be time to experiment with 600mg NPP and 250mg Test cycle I've been thinking about.....

I use saw palmetto regularly to control this. Cialis also helps. When you go back down to TRT dose or go off it should completely resove.

Finasteride.

Mine enlarged permanently. Gradually grew over the years, but was worse when on cycle. Some of it seems to remain.

Now if I dont take Flomax I actually have problems urinating. It is real hard to do and just trickles out. Scary feeling. I'll probably have to get surgery someday on mine.

I have the same issue all the time. There's nothing you can really do about it if you're on Testosterone apart from lowering your dosage to TRT-levels. Maybe things like Finasteride etc. will help but they come with possibly pretty severe sexual side effects so I won't touch that stuff personally. Saw Palmetto and other supps don't really seem to help neither.

I hated Finasteride so I looked at all possible supps. Life Extension's ProstaPollen has worked the best so far. Used to wake up for urination every two hours of so, now it's just once at 3am or so.

I'm not here to push the drug finasteride on any of you guys. Yes, some ppl do get unpleasant sides from the drug just like any drug. However, I think most people get it in their head that if they take the drug they will automatically lose their sex drives. The internet doesn't help either. It's a very small sample size. Even Saw Palmetto can give individual sides. There's a guy on here who get's extremely sore nipples when taking SP. I also know another dude that claims he can't get an erection when taking SP.

Never could make that work

I suffer with bouts of prostatitis about 2x a year. fucking miserable. It's like sitting on a hot coal in your taint. It also fucks up psa tests as it shoots it way up. Ive tried it all. prostate massage, jacking it 3x a day, otc (super beta prostate) supps, saw palmetto etc. Azithromycin is the only thing that helps kill it. I hate taking antibiotics, but when it hits it hits hard and i get on it asap.

I'd agree with this, too. My doc put me on it. Just wish insurance would get their act together and recognize that there's a valid medical use for Cialis now and pay for it.

There is a generic Cialis out now and with a Good RX coupon 30 5mg tabs are less then 20 bucks.

Anyone have an article/link to the benefits of Cialis in this regard? Definitely interesting. Mine would blow up on Mast and hasn't over the past couple of cycles, which happens to be when I added regular/daily Cialis to me regimen.
