I am 38 and I haven't touched gear for 8 years. Prior to that I was on and off for 3-4 years. ages 27-30. I didn't take as much time off as I should have in between, but I also didn't get crazy with my doses except once. I used a sustanon amp EOD and 400mg of deca per week so that is 875mg of test and 400mg deca for 12 weeks. I rarely used an anti-estrogen as in anastrazole bc at the time it seemed the mantra was only use anti-estrogen if you need it (ie: gyno/huge bloat). I didn't have these sides. Anywhay, I have been watching some of these Rand McClain videos and other TRT guys and all they seem to fucking talk about is anastrozole. Like TRT guys prophylactically on on 2 mg a week. I thought this was a joke but I guess I'm wrong I mean when I started people were taking 500mg of test and "use an antiestrogen if you need it" not take 100-200mg per week on TRT and start bombing yourself with anti estrogens on your first injection. Maybe I am an idiot.
Anyways, I see a urologist every year who draws my test and PSA. Almost always 300-400ng/dl (which is low in my mind of course) and PSA around 1.0 which seems fine. Last year I go in and after doing intermittent fasting for 6 months and getting to about 8 percent bodyfat which is about 20lbs less than I usually carry, my total test comes back in the mid 500s. Yay I'm cured! I tell this to myself... 7 years later I'm cured. Then I do this year and my fucking PSA is 2.0 and my total test 200ng/dl. Like wtf are these even my numbers? So I go to a new uro bc this guy just tells me to redraw them. New uro draws them PSA is 1.7 and my free PSA% is 29% which is an indicator lower risk of cancer. My total test is 350ng on this test.
No, throughout the years I deal with prostate flareups that have been diagnosed as prostatitis. I have done antibiotic courses without curing it. Lingering burn after I ejaculate that lasts for an hour or so. Lately it has seem to be a decent flareup it even burns at times when I piss in the morning. Hard to tell where it originates in the pelvis. All cultures negative, no STDs. My new uro gave 6 week treatment of anti inflammatories. Well I finished it no help. I see him next week. I'm beginning to think I have some sort of BPH causing this problem but I had a digital rectal exam and he didn't mention it. It's a terribly vexing problem. Anyone have any similar experience or advice? The reason I ask is bc I want to pursue TRT at this point in my life. I want to live better. My uro seems to think my steroid use didn't matter in any way.
