TRT Advice

[DJMikeT]

Just a couple of thoughts.

1) I have no experience with the BHP drugs he suggested, but I'd be interested in your experience. I have it on my list of things to research more. I too have a "larger than average" prostate. I've been told this for over 15 years, long before starting TRT. however, it's not bothered me, so I've not sought treatment. Lately, I'm noticing some small urine flow issues. Not much, but enough to make me want to research it more. I know I need to get my out of range DHT down, and I'm slowly increasing my saw/pygem supplementation and having some response. I'd like to avoid finasteride if possible.

2) The 175 mg T dose is a little higher than I'd suggest for a starting dose, but not hugely outrageous. Consider taking a slower approach at 100 mg in split doses. Then in 6 weeks increase it if the labs dictate. My guess is that you will not need the Arimidex if you do this.

So he told me that the surgery would not be a total fix but he said it would have some helpful benefits, also I have dull ache from time to time there and he said it because of the vericocile.

I told him about starting at the 100mg point but he said for my age that was under dosed and he wanted me to up to 175mg/week. Right now I'm 1 week into TRT and have been injectioning 100mg/week with bi-weekly injections (50mg each injection).

I'm going to hold off on the AI until I get my first blood work in about 4 weeks and see where my E2 levels are and go from there.
