Prolactin Levels

[beastjay]

Hi all, been away from the boards for ages but gonna look in every now and then. Anyway i've been natty for about a year after running 4 cycles using all the usual suspects and correct pct. Since going natty last september i crashed badly and didn't seem to recover. After consulation with doc and tests it turns out i have prolactinoma which is a growth (tumor) on the pituitary gland. This causes massive prolactin levels and reduced test levels. Mine were the highest levels that anyone i speak to in the medical profession has ever encounted, 13500 when the norm is 45-450. I'm on dosinex 2x .5mg per week for the concievable future and levels have come down to 4500 when last checked.

All i'm really trying to ask is if anyone has encounted high levels and if any links from this type of growth caused by gear can be found. Medically the cause if unknown and often sporadic and in females.

Suppose the one good thing out of it is that i will never have to pay over the odds for Dosinex

Ok this is weird, as someone else just posted up they have a prolactinoma.

Have you had a macro-prolactin test?

Have you taken Nandralone-Deca?

Nandrolone Side Effects

Although many nandrolone lovers claim that it is one of the safest anabolic steroids, if not the safest. It does have side effects that can be bothersome in hypersensitive individuals, such as acne, excitation, insomnia, nausea, diarrhea and bladder irritability(1). More serious (and common) side effects include testicular atrophy (shrunken balls), impotence (deca dick) and gynecomastia (bitch tits) (1). Nandrolone use has been shown to be safe and easy on the lipid profile, often improving HDL Cholesterol (16) Impotence can be offset by stacking the nandrolone with a higher testosterone. Nandrolone also causes the "shut down" (total stoppage) of endogenous (natural) testosterone production. Thus an exogenous (outside) source must be provided, the increased prolactin levels from the use of a progestinic steroid contribute to HPTA shut down and testicular atrophy which can be treated with a combination HCG (a female hormone that acts like LH when introduced into the male body) and bromocriptine (a dopamine receptor agonist that, among other things, can lower prolactin levels.) (1)(11) Besides using bromcriptine to lower prolactin levels, the anti-estrogens fulvestrant or letrozole on be taken to down regulate the progesterone and estrogen receptor.(12)( 13 )
