I am on my first week of test. dosing 325mg a week. i noticed i have to go to the bathroom more often. is it my prostate becoming sensitive to too much test? my psa levels were normal in bloodwork prior to getting on gear. my test levels in bloodwork prior to taking gear was a total of 386. so should i just take 900mg of saw palmetto a day? or should i get finistaride?
Noticing I have to urinate more than often while on first week of test. suggestions?

How does your prostate feel? Are you feeling like you have to go frequently but not much comes out and/or dribbles out slowly? Any crampy feeling down there when going to the bathroom? Any other signs of high estrogen like acne, leg cramps or bloating?
If you've only been on for one week, it's kind of early to be having these problems.
That said, at 325mg per week you're probably going to need AI, 0.25mg every 2 or 3 days maybe. You should schedule bloodwork to see where you're at.

If you have also increased your workouts, you have probably also increased your fluid intake. While it sounds obvious, sometimes the obvious is overlooked. I now pee a LOT more than before, but I was dehydrated and did not realize it (as most Americans are - how can we have so much drinkable water and yet be dehydrated??). After doubling my water intake, the amount I pee roughly doubled as well.

Is youre carbohydrate intake high enough to support the amount of water your drinking? If not, youll be pissing a lot of what you drink out.
i def have to piss more not because I'm drinking more water because it feels a little tight and its causing pressure to go pee. I'm afraid of enlargement of prostate. i took .3 of arimidex and 900 mg of saw palmetto last night. and this morning i don't feel those symptoms anymore. i don't have any bloating, and no leg cramps. just peeing too much. i had an enlargement of prostate when i was 23 and i had the same symptoms during night time.
i eat about 250 grams of carbs a day. and drink about 10 glasses of water a day. its just that down in that area feels a bit overworked than usual and i have to piss more and its not always a lot. just the feeling that i HAVE to go in the middle of the night and more frequently is unusual.

Sounds like your prostate might be a bit enlarged all though i cant say ive ever had this happen in the first week. Usually you can tell it is by more frequent urinations than normal as well. Also it will be harder to get it going and feel like its not flowing completely normal. I take 5mg of cialis every morning to combat this issue as also for prostate health in general. You should read up on the benefits of cialis as see if thats something that interests you. I believe Austinite wrote a thread on this very topic. Do a search and you should be able to find it here.
Do you notice any side effects like a headache or cold from taking 5mg daily?

Go get it checked out. I had prostatitis a few years back. That is how it started for me too. It kept getting worse and I actually had to go on disability because I could not go 3 minutes without having to go and then nothing would come out. It was really a nuisance more than anything, but it won't clear up on its own if that is what you have.

By the way when I got prostatitis it came out of no where. I had not used aas in over 7yrs when it happened. It started with a small increase and then would get worse everyday until it got to the point where I couldn't be at work because I was going to the bathroom so often.

Nothing at all brother
Its only at 10mg where ill start to notice a slight headache and stuffiness of the sinuses. I dont ever take 10mg but i wanted to see at what dose i would start to notice those side effects.
