i'm back from transabdominal ecog.
I'm confused about the result.
after long time use of propecia my prosate is enlarged !
(not much, it's still in normal\higher range)

if finasteride shrinks prostate, why this result?
it's a paradox

Not a paradox whatsoever buddy

Alot of people have found this.

Reason? Because finasteride shrinks the prostrate and your body as a counter action, INFLAMMED it naturally to compensate. Our bodies do things like this.

So many guys on propeciahelp have had this problem which has casued many people prostatitus. I personally took antibiotics to help just incase this is the case for me.

Are you having problems?

Estrogen, mate. Read about what estrogen dominance does to your prostate.

i know and i agree with this, i read something on prophelp.

but my question was about enlargement

Are you having problems?

not as before. now is definitely better than a year before
I'm just finishing an iter of examinations




@enden,
you have better knowledge than me, but
why the people that takes fina for prostatic hyperplasia didn't get
enlargement from elevated estrogen ?

you know, my purpose is only to have something undoubtable to show to the Doctor.

did you have prostate eco?

No, I've never checked my prostate, but I've been having some trouble which is most likely related to it. Everything but the prostate have been checked, and looks fine. I've urge incontinence and blood in my urine, and no one knows why (it's not because of finasteride, btw). At the time my estrogen level was so high that I got gynecomastia, my symptoms got worse. Remember that the percentage of people who gets side effects on Proscar is apparently small too. DHT is probably worse than estrogen when it comes to enlargement, but there are a lot of other problems related to the prostate. It's all about balance.

blood isn't a good thing and you cannot check PSA properly because you are on finasteride

anyone told you to get a full prostate checking protocol?
maybe some symptoms needs a different diagnostic approach

Yeah, I know about the blood. Possible problem with the prostate is my idea. The Doctor can tell a lot from... a finger up your ***. I'm a bit reluctant about that part. Anyway, my problems may be due to a surgery I had as a child too. I'll deal with it later. Right now, I've more than enough dealing with hypogonadism.

i update my sides, but i'm always afraid to say "stable improvement"

Before

1 no libido\penis numbness and ipoesthesia
2 discomfort lower belly\prostate discomfort
3 less strong erections\little shrinkage penis-testis (in flaccid state)
4 little bit of asthenia


now (hoping that is stable improvement)

1 low but acceptable libido\little numbness
2 little prostate discomfort
3 normal erections but still penis shrinkage

believe me pal, this is the less that can bother you

After that finger
i did rectoscopy, endoscopy and stamey test (which includes prostatic juice)
i cannot imagine other humiliating\painful tests

if i think that all is about fina, sometimes i fantasising to run in merk's offices with an ak47

Are you using zinc? Btw, Colin found a study of creatine, which shows that it increases the DHT level; http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19741313. Everyone who don't want to use any drugs, should look into supplements like this.

i did a long cycle, now i'm off
before i had also a strong antibiotic cycle

actually i'm taking vit E, and bioflavonoid, hoping that helps me for the shrinkage.

creatine and arginine i will try in the next future if the andrologist give me no drugs

Blood pressure medicines
can make the Prostata bigger

as far as i remember any medicine have ever touched my mouth in 30 yrs except some vaccine, antibiotics and in the last 6 yrs finssteride & minoxidil


i was not much responsive to minoxidil.
it annoyed me in the past also because it left my few hair very "oily"

when i used fina i had noticeable results and the assuption was easy fast and without inesthetical effects.
but now i pay the price.

we have to wait stem cell development for something definitive, but at that time, i bet, i will be under the ground since years
