I think I might be hitting the end of the road with the sauce. I've been running 400 test and 200 primo lately and the urinary issues have been getting pretty bad. I'm 43 now, and the urgency and having to get up to piss all night is just constant.
I saw my urologist today and he said my prostate is absolutely enormous, so now he wants me to get an ultrasound done. To be honest, I could feel this starting to flare up even when I was just on 200 test. For those of you who've dealt with a swollen prostate, does this actually shrink back down if you take a break and hop off, or am I stuck like this?
Man, I am so sorry to hear that. The middle-of-the-night bathroom trips are the absolute worst - it’s like you never actually get any deep sleep. At 43, things definitely start getting touchy down there. Most of the time it will shrink back down some once the DHT levels drop, but you gotta be patient. Definitely listen to the doc and get that ultrasound done just to be safe.
Honestly, the 200 Primo might be the culprit here more than the Test. Primo is a DHT derivative and it absolutely hammers the prostate for some guys. I had a similar scare last year and as soon as I dropped the DHT-based stuff and went back to a cruise dose, things cleared up in about a month. It usually isn't permanent, but it’s a huge wake up call for sure.
that sounds miserable bro. getting up 4 or 5 times a night just to trickle is enough to make anyone want to quit gear forever. usually it does go back down once the inflammation settles, but you might want to look into daily Cialis (5mg) - a lot of urologists prescribe it now for BPH and it’s a total game changer for the urinary flow. stay on top of it man!
It's the "cost of doing business" sometimes but it totally sucks when it hits you this hard. If even 200mg of Test is flaring you up, your body might just be super sensitive to conversion right now. It should shrink back once you're off, but definitely don't try to "push through" it. A huge prostate is nothing to mess with - keep us posted on what the ultrasound shows.
