Common Questions and Answers about Proscar and testosterone
proscar
Yes, young men may also have low testosterone counts - a disorder called hypogonadism - and 298 is indeed low. The normal level of testosterone in your bloodstream is between 350 and 1,000 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dl). Medications include oral, intramuscular and transdermal agents, but results vary a lot. Before you start any medication, I suggest you try a natural approach: physical exercise + DHEA, vitamins C,D, B, E and fish oil.
if my levels are good, should my libido be as well? And should I start worrying about something else instead..
If I had learned that there was only 0,000001% chance for me to permanently loose my libido when taking this, I would of course NEVER have touched it! Is this a renown great pharmaseutical scam that everyone should know about?..
Finasteride goes by the brand name Propecia (for MPB) and Proscar (for BPH) and is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor used to treat male pattern baldness (MPB) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) [enlargement of the prostate]. The medication works by inhibiting the enzyme that converts testosterone to its bioactive metabolite dihydrotestosterone thus decreasing its levels in the body.
I have had SIGNIFICANT reduction in the sensation of ejecualte and amount of ejaculate over a several YEAR period of time. I al TAKING testosterone therapy AXIRON and my levels are usually NORMAL of T on the AXIRON. BUT in the past 2 years my sensation on oregasm is VERY decreased, and inthe past year I notice a much smaller amount of semen. I DO have a SLIGHLY enlarged prostate, I DO have pre- diabetes, I do take Verapamil, and a small dose of Atenolol . I do take PROSCAR.
Taking Viagra clearly works, try a small amount (cut up a 100 mg in 4 or 8 roughly equal pieces) and see how it works for you. I used Proscar (Propecia) years ago and definitely felt it killed my libido. It does dramatically lower DHT, a sex hormone *supposedly* only needed during your growing years - but nobody has ever explained how a crucial sex hormone just suddenly becomes unimportant when you turn 18. Try generic minoxidil to keep your hair instead.
If you experience side effects or if you plan to discontinue it, it is best that you discuss this with your doctor, who knows your medical history and the management plan of your condition. Side effects of proscar include trouble getting or keeping an erection, decrease in sex drive, decreased volume of ejaculate, and ejaculation disorders. Take care and do keep us posted.
he tried avodart for 1 year but not worked good for him thats why he stop and try another drug name proscar...
Testosterone is a steroid. The public has been filled with horror stories-Roid Rage,suicide,murder, all kinds of weird things happening.Any steroid including testosterone can be dangerous. Most all of the problems come from body builders who take massive amounts and add other steroids (stacking) in search of the best phystique.The vial of testosterone cypionate that I inject will last me about 2 months.
I must say that almost two years on and the only thing that has returned to normal are my periods (after 18 months) oh and my testosterone level subsequently returned to normal at 1.3 (the highest I reached with the tumour was 9.4). I know when I had my surgery I had pictures and everything took, as well as gave written consent for the publication of the case history due to the rarity of these tumours! Anyway hope everything goes/is going ok for you.
78), and he did a Uroflowmetry and it was normal and he told me not to worry about it and no medication is required.
3-three years later............, i started having more dribble of urine , I went to the doctor and again he did PSA test it was (1.21), and no treatment was suggested.
4-two years later ..........my symptoms got more worse and i went to the doctor , he did a DRE and told me the size of the prostate is bigger than normal , he did a PSA test it was (1.
I am 67 years old, and have gradually developed some symptoms which I think suggest BPH. [not on Proscar etc.].
However, my PSA is now 1,8.[risen 0.5 over 18 months]
Prior PSA:
05/11 =1.3
11/10= 1.1
04/10= 1.1
04/09= 1.2
10/08= 1.1
01/08= 0.9
11/07= 0.8
07/07= 1.1
12/05= 0.8
01/05= 0.6
07/04= 0.7
10/02= 0.9
08/02= 0.9
05/98= 0.9
DRE -no nodules
What is likelihood this rise represents Ca, and what is next suggestion?
Thanks!
Hi im 20 years old engaged to be married and a new nurse i am young but am very concerned about my fertility I cant wait to have a family but I have been taking birth control pill for about 3 years now have been diagnosed with HPV and recently have been handling a medication which i didnt know shouldn't be handle by women because of problem with birth defects and infertility so any encouraging advice would be great i havent heard any real evidence on birth control pills causing specific prob
But long term use of testosterone and other steroids have transient effects and there is no scientific evidence that performance is enhanced. There is abuse liability so I would suggest you to follow up with a physician or endocrinologist for case to case prescriptions.

Suboxone not only effects sex drive it effects Testosterone levels. There is a lot of misunderstanding of this out there. Viagra and Cialis without sex drive equals an erection that allows for sex but no satisfaction to the male if there is no drive. Low testosterone causes low sex drive and erectile dysfunction.
The doctor checked my testosterone level due to and adverse affect of opiates, and I didnot have any. He put me on supplemental testosterone, but I have read it would come back naturally and taking supplements will stop the natural production of my testosterone. Anyone had this issue.
s for benign prostate enlargement, and the results were rather mixed. Then Proscar came along and pretty much ended that debate. Saw Palmetto has faded into the background - it's possible you affected your DHT levels, but it will definitely only be temporary. I quit Proscar for that reason, best not to fool around with sex hormone levels, in my opinion.

The size is determined by the testosterone receptors which don’t change in number after puberty and thus taking any testosterone boosters is not going to affect the size of the penis. I sincerely hope I am able to address your query & hope that helps. Take care.
