Does Test Bother or Make a Enlarged Prostate Worse?

[big_boy_1]

Some finasteride will help.
It prevents test from converting to DHT.

It may reduce gains A BIT, but still a small price to pay.
When you grow old you may regret having used AAS without finasteride.

I'm not sure about prostate size per se, but any androgen (particularly testosterone) will stilmulate prostate cancer cells.... lowering androgen levels causes prostate cells to shrink or grow more slowly (hence Hormone-Androgen Deprivation therapy)

So basically, yes, you run the risk of not only increasing prostate size but also prostate cancer whenever you run test

That implies that testosterone incerases the risk of prostate cancer, which I do not believe is supported by any evidence. Sure test/DHT can lead to prostatic growth and test/dht can cause growth of malignant cells but what evidence do you have that exogenous test increases the risk of prostate cancer?

Testosterone replacement therapy and prostate risks: where's the beef?

Morgentaler A.

Division of Urology, Harvard Medical School, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

It has been part of the conventional medical wisdom for six decades that higher testosterone in some way increases the risk of prostate cancer. This belief is derived largely from the well-documented regression of prostate cancer in the face of surgical or pharmacological castration. However, there is an absence of scientific data supporting the concept that higher testosterone levels are associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer. Specifically, no increased risk of prostate cancer was noted in 1) clinical trials of testosterone supplementation, 2) longitudinal population-based studies, or 3) in a high-risk population of hypogonadal men receiving testosterone treatment. Moreover, hypogonadal men have a substantial rate of biopsy-detectable prostate cancer, suggesting that low testosterone has no protective effect against development of prostate cancer. These results argue against an increased risk of prostate cancer with testosterone replacement therapy.

Hmm never heard that one, wulf how much ginger do you take? And do they make a ginger supp in caps or tabs? Id like to try that. Bro, if you currently have prostate enlargment 500mg of test COULD make it worse, signs you have a big one are
Starting and stopping when pissing
getting up more than 2 times per night
feeling like you gotta go but cant

I do know that the 2 times per year I come off I pee like a champion, and it feels so nice to be able to pee...fuck everytime I go to the bathroom people think im shitting im in there so long.

Well, my point wasn't specifically about endogenous test... but I did read on the American Cancer Society's website regarding ADT (Androgen Deprivation Therapy) and in a nutshell, it explains that the goal of this therapy is to lower levels of male hormones (androgens, mainly testosterone) because they stimulate prostate cells to grow - I'm sure they are not considering exogenous sources of test... it doesn't matter whether the test is natural or supplemented... they also state that this isn't a cure for cancer, just a treatment

so I'm not an expert in this, nor do I have studies to back up what I had written.... just relaying what I had read from ACS.org

Give it a shot man..Ginger leads the way in the government’s USDA database of 5-LO inhibitors, as Ginger has been shown to contain at least 22 different components which act as 5-LO inhibitors. And as we know inhibition of that pesky enzyme causes massive apoptosis of prostate cancer cells(benign and malignant both)
I drink alot of ginger tea @ night but I also supplement with 1-2 grams a day of ginger root pills

Also enlarged prostate=poor erections??? Or ed in general??? Also are some of the above posts saying that test could lead to prostate cancer, I thought there was no evidence of aas causing cancer???
