Frequent Urination

[Lipid]

On Prop/Mast for the past 9 weeks now, past week or so ive been having to urinate very often, around every 4ish hours, i pree usually 5 or 6+ times a day, my water/fluid intake has stayed consistent, on the plus side i have no problem peeing or getting it started or have any pains whilst peeing and the urine is very clear, anything i should be worried about?

These anomalies never cease to amaze me. From what you're describing (merely increased 'Urge', which is what its called) there's nothing to worry about, but answer these questions for me:

Are you 100% sure this didn't start pre-cycle?
How much longer is your cycle?
When you go, is it always a good amount or do some trips not produce much?
Does it interrupt your sleep, if so, more than once?

Good questions above from magic. Wouldn't hurt to get a PSA test.

Anxious to hear your reply, but I've got to run. Going to leave you this as well.

If this persists post-cycle, or becomes worse, i.e., you start to experience slow starts and stops, the need to go again right after going (failure to completely void) you'll need to see a doctor. The two primary routes are 1) they can run some tests and see what's happening (invasive), or 2) they can assume it's temporary and start with a medication that'll relax your bladder, keeping it from quivering (the feeling that one needs to go) prematurely, which is essentially what causes idiopathic (unknown) Urge. In most cases the latter works and you're home free. Either way, they'll fix you up. They may also, just to be safe check out your prostate while down there.

Note: You should pay special attention to your ejaculatory habits, especially noting if they are becoming more delayed than usual. This may be great for a budding AVN career, but may also hint at a progressive condition.

Best to you.

100% sure this did not start pre cycle.
I always go for a good amount of time, never small trips.
Yes sometimes i wake up during my later hour sleeps (eg; if i go to sleep at 3am, i will wakeup about when im going to wakeup to take pisses) if you get me.
Cycle will be another 4 weeks or so.

I agree ...def a prudent thing to do.

[marcus300]

This is to close for comfort

Get checked out asap,

^^^Yes, frequent urination and waking throughout the night to void are two of many sequela of prostate enlargement (as well as BPH prostatitis, and Prostate Ca).

Advisable to have PSA and possibly DRE (if PSA is elevated).

Gotten me fairly worried that this may be prostate cancer from what has been stated? Im in my early 20s (23), Prostate cancer shouldnt be on the table as far as i know?

Domnt project but dont ignore. Get it checked out is all.

Thinking if i go to my GP and ask him for a prostate exam and noting my age and no genetic predisposition to it he will most likely say it isn't needed?

[jimmyinkedup]

If you describe symptoms instead of acting like a dr and telling him what to do he will most likely suggest it and a bloodtest to check psa.

Tell him your symptoms and he will check it for you, trust me get it checked out asap

[Lipid]

Thanks for the heads up, i will go get checked up and have a PSA test alongside my bloods whilst on cycle.

In hindesight the increased urination may be due to me dropping carbs completely and going on keto so my body may be flushing excess water/glycogen out.

[bass]

I don't see a reason why he wouldn't check it based on your symptoms! if he doesn't heck then do it your self, PSA BW of course not the digital exam

if you're peeing a good amount that's a good sign. BTW, enlargement of prostate doesn't mean cancer, so don't stress your self, but just to be safe get it checked.

No worries, you sound fine. If you're very concerned, go ahead and get checked out. However, if you're 100% sure it is cycle-related, there's really not much that can be done until the external stimuli (your cycle) is extinguished (both discontinued and out of your system). At which time the problem may resolve itself, persist in a continually (and noticeably) diminishing fashion then resolve, or persist in the same manner which would warrant a doctor's visit, and again the above cited protocol will be followed.

It's normal for guys to blame the prostate. Nevertheless, I can say with certainly that it's not your prostate, because the only prostate issue that adversely affects urination is benign prostatic hyperplasia, commonly referred to as an enlarged prostate, wherein the prostate due to its proximity (sits between the bladder and urethra) to the start of the urethra (see picture) constricts it and causing several VERY DISTINCT and classically related symptoms especially stalled start and stop, leakage afterwards, etc. (See 'Symptoms of Enlarged Prostate' below). The only one you present is urge (both day and night), which when isolated is indicative of a bladder issue, possibly even an infection (start cranberry juice 2x daily), and which medication relieves by relaxing the organ.

I stated it only as a possibility. It's unlikely but not impossible. The important message is that you should have it looked at. No one here can tell you what it is conclusively. You need, at a minimum, a PSA done.

Don't be too concerned about your age. If anything, tell your PCP/GP that you've had more frequent urinations and that you are waking up several times throughout the night to pee. Your doctor may think its as simple as prostatitis, run a PSA and other blood work to get a proper differential diagnosis.

DHT compounds can promote prostate enlargement and some men are more prone to this than others. Mast is one of my favorite compounds but it always causes prostate issues for me and I have to manage it appropriately.

Get it checked out....and as Jimmy rightfully suggested, don't over think it at this stage.

^^^Correct. I've treated men with a PSA of 500+ that was nothing more than BPH.

The list of possibilities I mentioned was just that "a list of possibilities". I'm sorry that it invoked panic.

Again, GET IT CHECKED!

I will be getting a PSA done for sure, although as i started on new gear source i would like for this to kick in before i take a full blood test regarding my lipids, blood count, kidney, liver. Would i be in any significant danger if i wait 2 or 3 weeks to get the bloodtest done all in 1 go? Im sure prostate issues don't get severely worse in 1-3 weeks time, i appreciate you looking out for people here asking for guidance and help, great asset to this forum.

Thank you so much mate, relived my worries.

I had the same thing happen on a tren cycle. It was an enlarged prostate. Psa came back fine. Had ultra sound and 24 hr urine test. Currently on flowmax to help with it. And it seems to work. But you need to find out. Mine only got worse the longer I waited till it was extremely painful to go. Catch it now. A simple prostate massage may be all you need to release the fluid. But get it check sooner than later.

Unless symptoms become more severe (incomplete voiding, difficulty starting or stoping, a weak stream), you are fine. Schedule the appointment. It may take a few weeks to get in to see your GP anyway depending on his/her case load.

Don't even think of asking me to stick my finger up your butt and massage that thing. My involvement in your health is free consultation only!!!!!

Gotta set some boundaries!

Don't worry. It's not as enjoyable in a medical setting as it is at home.

Different erogenous zone but ya, I'd do that.
