New to the world of TRT - difficulty voiding 30 + hours after Cypionate injection??
I 'm new to TRT, I just turned 59 in Feb, never felt any symptoms until i would say December 2010. I decided to consult with my physician in March. The blood work showed low testosterone with a level of 299 (Quest did the lab work). Physician talked to me about TRT and recommended Testosterone Cypionate. Loading dose as 200mg it weekly injection of 100mg. I am scheduled to get blood work before my 7th injection which should be on May 25.
From memory, i think that test should be for total testosterone, free testosterone, high sensitivity estradiol for men, PSA and DHT. I had two PSA tests done and DRE before starting the treatment. My PSA level was 1.5 - it was 2.1 last year - I had bacterial prostatitis 10 months ago this might have something to do with it, i dont really know but it went down. Urologist told me my prostate seemed to be in excellent condition, barely enlarged. I was told i had mild BHP and as far as i can remember, this "condition" never affected me.
Now, here is my "problem" if i have one... Since I started TRT, three weeks ago, i usually inject myself on a Wednesday and i would say 30 + hours after injecting, i start experiencing difficulties urinating and i could last 1 1/2 day then goes away.
i must say i also feel that i might have a come back of prostatitis, not sure yet, i will consult next week Never the less, this difficulty voiding happened 30 + hours after injection after each injection.
Has anyone else ever experienced or heard of something similar? Any comments or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot guys
