I need to find some 5mg cialis. The ones I have are 20mg and they are way too small to split.

What are the main symptoms you have experienced regarding prostate issue. I personally have had issues urinating a lot i ended up having a cystoscopy which showed i had a tight bladder neck. Prostate was fine. For the past 2 years i tend to have a lot of wet dreams although i have regular sex. I notice when i feel like this i urinate a lot more and feel like i need to empty my load to feel better. Mentioned this to my GP who shrugged it off!

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.

IIRC you dosed really high for a long while. Personally I always cycled off for a good bit of time. Then again you got a lot bigger than me. I got bored of increasing size after 230 at 5'8". It gets uncomfortable at some point and normal activities get weird.

It is hard to say exactly what caused mine to grow. Probably a combination of factors. I know that my genetics for it suck because both my uncle and father had problems, just that they were much older when it happened. My dad takes Proscar and my uncle had to have his removed surgically. They didn't have issues until they were in their late 60s though. My problem started at about age 45. So in my case it kinda seems like all the steroids sped up the development of prostate enlargement.

Not sure if it was mostly from when I was doing higher doses(total of about 2.5 grams/week)and cycling off or later on when I was doing lower doses but cruising on 300 mg/wk test. My hematocrit problem didn't start until I was doing the cruising. Had my heart attack after that too.

Saw palmetto does not help. All it does is give a false reading on the tests. You could have one the size of a baseball and with enough saw palmetto, get the numbers down to a decent range.

That's been my experience with it as well.

I recommend trying Flomax. https://www.drugs.com/flomax.html

If you want to avoid proscar and its anti DHT actions, give it a try. I experience no sides. It's an alpha blocker. I do believe it lowers BP too.

Never did anything for me either. I swear everytime I used Saw Palmetto I got sore nipples and I'm not even prone to gyno.

Going to look into it for sure. The only problem with getting it prescribed would be me having to tell my GP WHY my prostate is enlarged in the first place and I don't want it in my medical records that I'm using steroids. Of course he knows full well I use them but since I've never officially admitted to using them, it's not in my medical records and I'd like to keep it that way to avoid possible repercussions later on.

BPH and other prostate problems happens to all walks of life. Men who have never used steroids. Because of insurance reasons I wouldn't want it in my medical records either. Even if he suspects you do unless he's prescribing them for you he doesn't know that for sure. Stick with the 'all I use is creatine and protein routine' and go get a check up.

I just filled a 30 count 20mg prescription with a Good RX coupon at my local Kroger pharmacy for $23 and some change. Some of the best I have ever used too. A quarter tablet felt like 20mg of other's I've tried. I'm trying to kill 3 birds with one stone so I'm using it for BPH, Blood pressure and some ED issues.

Honestly, you don't have to worry about that in records as far as health insurance goes. It would hurt life insurance for sure. I've never had an issue now for more than 15 years since it's been in my record. I live in the US, other countries might differ. I cant get life insurance anyways since I had my heart attack and have a defibrillator.

You dont need to tell the doctor anything. You could just tell him that it's in the family and your dad had it when he was young. How young are you?

A bit young for that, but I doubt the doctor would cause you any problems. A good doctor wouldn't anyhow. I think I was about 46 when I went on the med.
