How to decrease DHT

[hammerheart]

DHT range is 16-79

10/20/16 it was 152
2/15/16 it was 82

He decreased the amount of Test to 180mg, and the DHT increased. My total Test was 945 after 4 days, I only do 1 shot a week. I actually feel better with the one shot a week, It seems easier to control the E2.

Test 180mg weekly
Anastrozol 0.5mg per week
HCG 250 units twice a week, the Doctor actually wants me to take 500 units twice a week. I did that for a while but it just seem to cause nipple sensitivity.

250 IU twice weekly are plenty. Going higher will cause your E2 to spike uncontrollably, hence the nipple sensitivity. DHT also is released by the testes. If you pulled bloods while on 1000IU weekly that is a potential reason for increased DHT.

DHT is responsible for many of the benefits of TRT. Frankly I don't understand your doc crusade against it, fina is a drug I won't ever touch with a stick.

What is your age?

But reading about your psa and your already bald,
I wouldnt worry about the conversion. As Bizzarro said, Dht has its benefits and as long as they are not causing problems,then I wouldnt worry. Yes you are right,the conversion to DHT as well as the amount of Free T(BIOAVIAL) do affect total T.
Why isnt he testing Bioavail as well?

I'm 42.
He said he wants it in range because the high DHT level will eventually cause the prostate to grow. Yea I know what you mean about Finast. All I hear is bad things about it, nothing really reportable good about that drug.
