I dont know if its the kind of thing a doctor would deal with. He would probably just order you a dht blood test.
Is there such a thing as a prostate biopsy and would that show it, at the very least you would need someone who specialised in the prostate, and not some snake oilier like dr g.
I donāt know, possibly? I think they take biopsies when they test for breast cancer so maybe they do for prostate cancer? This would be interesting to see and maybe something we should consider if there is another study in the future. I posted a link that someone posted a year ago about androgens reviving rat prostates after treating them with finasteride.
maybe stem cells?
I havenāt posted on here in a while but Iām off Propecia after 10+ years on. While still on the drug my doctor told me that my prostate was tiny due to the drug. Iāve never had any major erectile/libido problems but I do suspect my prostate causes some issues. I have noticed that after a very intense orgasm (which typically involves a big night with the wife) my overall mood, erection quality, and general feeling of well being are improved for about a week. If I go a few weeks without an intense orgasm my libido fades and i get a dull ache in my prostate region. Masturbating is not intense enough to make me feel better. Itās almost as if a strong orgasm normalizes my hormones or something for a while.
As an aside, I no longer have brain fog and I now get morning wood 1-2x per week (these were my major reasons for quitting). My hair has thinned but not too badly and it seems to have stabilized (not sure if thatās good or bad).
So you did not have any sides?
this is interesting and now you have recovered. Are you on any supp or vitamins? your case is very different from almost all of us. Most of us are getting worse over time unless we uses some supp/vitamins.
I had sides - I stopped getting morning/spontaneous erections, stopped dreaming, and (worst of all for me) got brain fog. These effects set in around year 8 on the drug. My urologist also said my prostate is tiny so I assume that is a side effect as well.
After quitting I get morning erections although I still dont get spontaneous erections. Brain fog is gone (thank god). I now have some prostate issues that come and go. It feels like my prostate is easily fatigued - more than one strong orgasm in a day and I will get some pain in the area.
It sounds like you made a pretty decent recovery there MLB, although i am sure the prostate issues are unpleasant.
Has there been any follow up to this? Has anyone injected DHT into the prostate?
