novice · #1 (**permalink**) 11-16-2008, 06:28 PM

since starting TRT I am having trouble with my prostate. It's irritated by the test. and hcg causing freq urges to urinate all day. No prob at night with waking up but checked by doc who says it's mildly enlarged due to androgen use. 30 yr old so no PSA test done. Anyone else have this issue and if so what can you do? Another drug for this is my last resort

Post your blood tests related to TRT.

Possibly your urination problems have nothing to do with TRT.

It may be complete B.S. but I have a friend who was diagnosed with benign prostate hypertrophy. He has been taking Saw Palmetto for years and swears that it has completely alleviated all symptoms. Also a sales rep that calls on me at work just had radiation on his prostate to destroy cancer cells. His doctor suggested saw palmetto to help with the inflamation caused by the treatments. May be worth trying. I doubt it would hurt.
