    Enlarged prostate, diabetes, or urinary tract infection are among the possibilities.

    With Test C, the Test hasn't even kicked in yet. The Anavar definitely is working on you but I've never heard of Anavar affecting the bladder. If you're thirsty all the time, you could be diabetic. Are you taking anything else for cutting?

    I would lean toward the dutasteride as a possible cause if you just started it and it's start coincided with your symptoms. If prescribed by your doc talk to them or if self prescribed consider stopping it. Dutasteride is used to treat enlarged prostate and off label for hair loss.

    I've been doing quite a bit research , and i think ive come to the conclusion that one of the effects of dutasteride is to improve urinary flow !..am i right? anyone else have this symptom when on duta?

    Yes you right. Mainly given to men with BPH (begin prostate hypertrophy) to alleviate their frequent urination and feeling like they cant completely empty their bladder. What is mpb? I dont know that abbreviation.

    Look into cialis for daily use. Google cialis and BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) and it will come right up. Research Stinging Nettle Root for BPH also.

    From what I know about dutasteride it shouldn't cause you to urinate more. As a matter of fact, you should want to pass water less frequently but in greater volume. One thing I have learned over the years is that we all different in the way we react to certain compounds. Some guys take Test and get acne others don't. Some get gyno other don't. I'm sure there are medical explanations it's just that we don't know how a compound will affect us until we try it. If your water color is good and you feel ok, I wouldn't worry too much about it. When I first got on Clen I drank a LOT of water to make sure I was fully hydrated. I ran to the bathroom about every 45 minutes. The guys at work though I was having a bladder infection. If you drink a lot of fluids you need to go to the restroom.

    It is, but it's used on men with prostates that are already enlarged. Unless yours in enlarged, you may have reduced the size from normal to smaller than normal. Don't know if that's correct or not, but it seems to make sense to me.

    Yes it definately wasnt enlarged....so it basically went from normal to small, makes sense!...but it this hasnt happened to me the last time i took duta , just trying to figure out if it has happened to anyone else.. i feel like getting off, but i want to save myself from thinning at the same time.

    It's weird stuff. For the month or so that I took it, it never affected my urination, but grossly enough it made semen come out like a water faucet and made my prostate area clench up in pain. The whole purpose of the prostate is to regulate both urine and semen coming through the penis. Since both use the same outlet, the prostate lets either one flow out, but not at the same time. So if you think about it, if you took duta and your prostate shrunk to any degree, it may make it a lot easier for the urine to come out, hence making you feel like you gotta pee more.

    Is it a research chem? If so, then then an inaccurate dose is certainly a possibility. Dutasteride's effects on MPB are dose dependent, but one study I saw still showed improved hair growth with as little as 0.1mg dose, so it might be worth trying for a while. Also, don't know if you give blood or not, but you can't give blood for at least 6 months after your last dose.

    Strange enough I'm not doing anything but TRT and ever since I started 3 years ago and ever since then I had to pee a LOT. yes my water intake is also up compared to what it use to be; considering I didnt use to drink water at all. It's still a PITA to get up and take a pee 3 or 4x a night. I have had my prostate checked and all is well. Maybe it's just water intake?

    I have a super hard time believing , that it's water because even when i wasn't on clen and not consuming that much water at all i still pee's like every 30 mins to and hour!!!....i think i might be dosing my duta wrong which i find hard to believe ,or this research chem is very strong!

    i heard 0.5 mg a day was optimum for a duta cycle, i researched and concluded that even 0.25 mg a day was still more effective then finasteride so i went with that , now i think im dosing it too high , or it dosed too high .......so i guess ill have no choice , but to knock it down and see what happens in the next couple of days
