How often do you get prostate exams?

[IMT staff]

Honestly guys I'm getting sick of getting called out every time I make a post. This information is easy to look up, get off your rear end and look it up.

We don't post stuff just for the sake of posting, everything we post either comes from experience or from peer reviewed medical literature.

Cialis was approved for the treatment of BPH in 2011 by the FDA, there are a 100 articles about it. If you can't find it I don't know...........

BTW if your PSA is not significantly elevated then why would anything drop it?

 

[IMT staff]

It have never affected mine.

How long have you been taking a daily dose of cialis? And when that didn't work how long did you add propecia at 5mg per day?

What was your baseline PSA and what was it pre treatment and after treatment with tadalafil?

 

[Therealkozmo]

My doctor must be more efficient then your doctors. He did the prostate exam and the ball check at the same time.

 

[Alpin]

Personal experience, I would say yes.

What was your personal experience?

 

[Mprtz]

What was your personal experience?

Early on in TRT my AI dose was too low and my E2 came back around 60. This was accompanied by an irritated feeling prostate and symptoms generally associated with BPH. I also broke out in acne on my back and shoulders.

Any anxiety, insomnia, loss of balance ?
You were retaining water ?
Regular assay estradiol with 60 pg/ml?

FDA approves Cialis to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia

BTW if your PSA is not significantly elevated then why would anything drop it?

Yes Cilas was approved for treating BPH but not because it affected PSA because it relaxes the muscles in that area. DHT affects PSA. TRT patients often see a transient rise in PSA because DHT levels increase. Lowering DHT will consequently also lower PSA (i.e. propecia)

Didn't notice any of those symptoms, but other symptom I had was muscle cramps: calves at night, sometimes lower abs (which really sucks btw) and prostate.

Yes that was regular assay. That was measured just before weekly injection, I suspect it was higher at peak.

So your saying the effect is not inverse? Why did the PSA go up in the first place? Because of infection and swelling?

also:

I know it works, I've seen it a dozen times, I just want to be clear here. It sounds to me since it doesn't say it in the study it doesn't happen? Is it possible 12 weeks was too soon to see a marked reduction in PSA?

What do you think about the following?

Three PDE5 inhibitors, sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis) and vardenafil (Levitra) are clinically approved and are widely used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. A retrospective analysis determined that men treated with PDE5 for ED had less chance of having prostate cancer. This population of men had significantly lower documented diagnosis of elevated prostate-specific antigen and higher percentage of benign prostatic hyperplasia compared to men not treated with PDE-5 inhibitors (Chavez et al., 2013)

Repurposing phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors as chemoadjuvants

Emerging evidence indicates that PDE5 inhibitors are multi-targeting agents and have promising results in the treatment of variety of tumors. Here we propose the possibility of repurposing of PDE5 inhibitors for adjuvant chemotherapy.

as long as he didn't have both hands on your hips during the procedure, i think he just got the sleepies.

hahaha..

Does the prostate grow faster when you're on TRT? 2 years ago I went to a urologist and he said that my prostate (31ml) was relatively big for my age (30).
Now I worry what if under TRT it should get even bigger would I then have to get off it?
Are there statistics where you can see the "normal prostate size" for every age and then you can compare it to your actual size?

Next time you see Todd, tell him to come and tell us about the relationship of sodium and TRT and some users that have noticed reactions from highish sodium diets on TRT.
He spoke about it briefly a while ago.

it only takes one google search to find all this info and a ton more on it xD

Thank you for posting this. Medicine is only oriented to treating disease, not treating people. So they overtreat to "save lives" not caring about the quality of life they leave the patient with. Most doctors will tell you that the numbers in this piece are fine with them, if they have to ruin 50 people's lives to save one person that would have died they are fine with this. Its the same twisted thought process that ends up giving people horrible, undignified deaths strapped to machines. Medicine thinks that is saving a life, I say it's torture.

How about this one, there are currently 250,000 men in the US living life as a chemical castrati in the name of treating their prostate cancer. No fucking thank you. I'd much rather a shorter life filled with joy and pain then a longer life as something other than what I came into this world as.

Great read. Cialis is one of my favorite products. It helps with BPH, it lowers BP, its great for erections and now it also may help prevent cancer. What's not to like about this stuff.

Hypogonadal men typically have low DHT levels as a result of low T levels. As you increase T you also increase DHT which in turn will cause the prostate to grow to a point. Once the prostate reaches the point of sauturation the prostate stabilizes.

I don't feel like looking but I can show a study where DHT had 0 effect on the prostate.

 

[Douglasss]

Once per year. Been on 250 week and blasting for 8 years. No problems whatsoever.

In fairness, the article you linked says nothing specifically about PSA levels. It mentions symptoms of BPH being reduced, but not PSA levels one way or the other.

But, when I did google "CIALIS PSA LEVELS" I found this: Which Medicines Affect PSA Levels? | eHow

Specifically states that viagra and cialis don't affect PSA levels one way or the other. There wasn't much information out there, but I could find nothing at all that supported the statement that Cialis lowers PSA. I found many mentions of its effects on BPH, but that was it.

Did you mean to say that Cialis affects BPH instead of saying it will "drop your PSA like a rock" or is there simply a study that I can't find with my searches?

Then explain to me how propecia works?
