enlarged prostate

[xariesj2x]

If your prostate gets englarged how long do you need to be on proscar before it helps?

Proscar prevents the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the body. It is by this method it shrinks the size of your prostate (which took years to develop)/ Typically, you are looking at months before improvement will be noted via radiographs although you might experience symptom improvement sooner.

This form of treatment is lifelong and needs to be continued as long as you have BPH symptoms. BTW, if you are taking any AAS with high DHT conversion (e.g. Abombs) it will take a lot longer.

Good shit bro. Nice read.

I heard it takes several months for proscar to really even do its job. is this bs or true? won't proscar interfere with a cycle

I can always count on good questions from bros like you, 8and20. You are absolutely right. Most research quotes 6 months as the time needed for visibly improved BPH (as measured by MRI or Trans-Rectal UltraSound). Of course, we both know that doesn't necessarily mean sx improvement. Most MDs I know use it for those pts who won't or can't under surgical TURP.

And yes, it will generally interfere with cycles, not to mention libido!

Here's a good article on the subject:
