Both. The problem is DHT deficiency, increased estrogen level and suppressed testosterone level. There are several other hormones involved as well, but these are the basics. Large doses of zinc works as an aromatase inhibitor, and should relieve the symptoms. Chris87 (viewtopic.php?f=46&t=62708) cut his daily dose of finasteride to 0.25 mg a day, which he used a long with zinc every day. However, I do recommend looking into creatine too, if you decide to quit.nohawk said:PS: enden, is the zinc treatment supposed to be taken while still on finasteride or is it something I would do after deciding to go off?

How is your prostate fluid? White or transparent?
finfighter said:because i don't masturbate more than once a week or so (mainly for weekly check-up purposes) its white, but if i do it more frequently it gets more clear. I have a very active lifestyle and I'm in the gym doing lifting 3 times a week and also do mixed martial arts twice per week, I think these activities are helping my testosterone somehow. I just don't have any drive or sex lust.. it feels like my penis is detached from my body.
Damn dude that souds like a problem, maybe this song could help you cope.

If it's white, it's a good sign. It's transparent when you have severe DHT deficieny. Prolactin may be a problem too. Excessive prolactin suppresses dopamine, which has a lot to do with sexual arousal and refraction period, thereby libido.nohawk said:because i don't masturbate more than once a week or so (mainly for weekly check-up purposes) its white, but if i do it more frequently it gets more clear.

Finasteride doesn't do anything else than suppress the DHT level by blocking reducatse enzymes. Testosterone and estrogen rasies as a consequense, and in some cases the estrogen level continues to raise, which suppresses the testosterone level, becuase of the body's negative feedback mechanism.timbo said:Enden said:The problem is DHT deficiency, increased estrogen level and suppressed testosterone level.
Finasteride will raise estrogen and lower DHT, but it doesn't lower testosterone levels, it raises them.
