Frequent urination

[Punkrocker]

Ok so I'm pretty damn sure I got frequent urination. I probably piss on average 10-14 times a day. I'm worried it's my prostate. The only thing is when I piss, it's just regular urine. I don't have a problem starting the flow or stopping. No weak stream, no dribble nothing like that. I just noticed that I have to take a leak like every hour and a half to 2 hours. I drink coffee in the morning and then water but not a ton of water so I don't get it. Any ideas?

I dunno, I have the same issue. Many water fountain trips during the course of a day though. My PSA numbers came back fine but I haven't had that exam as part of a physical yet. I know those numbers probably don't have anything to do with enlargement.

Yeah I've never had a PSA test and I'm on trt. A friend of mine actually had an enlarged prostate and he told me sometimes he has trouble starting the piss or right after he finishes it feels like he still has to go or sometimes the stream is weak Etc... I don't have any problems like that I just noticed I'm pissing a little more than usual. This is actually nothing new I have probably been pissing like this for maybe at least a year but after I started reading about prostate side effects from testosterone therapy I am starting to wonder if there is something wrong

Could be benign prostate hyperplasia...

What are your most recent E2 levels; cortisol? I think a fluctuation of estrogen and or cortisol could have an issue with your prostate. Aside from the PSA number.

Well I take a pretty hefty dose of arimidex so I would assume that my e2 is on the lower side probably 20 or even lower. But only blood work can truly tell. So even though I have no other symptoms, peeing more often can also be a prostate issue? Hmm should I slightly increase my arimidex dose for a week or 2 and see if something changes?

 

[Punkrocker]

Ok well I just finished watching hacksaw ridge, if any of you guys haven't seen it, check it out, simply amazing. I just cried my ass off for the past 2 hours and pissed 9 times in ten hours. My e2 has got to be high! I've been taking the same dose of arimidex I always take....I wonder if as we get older, we become more sensitive to aromatize? Anyway, I'm gonna take .5 mg arimidex daily now for the next week or too and see if I notice a difference. Before I was doing .25 one day and then .5 the next day alternating back and fourth. So all in all I'll add .75mg more per week to my arimidex and see if I stop crying/pissing so much lol

TRT with no PSA is not a good idea. TRT with no E2 test is not a good idea. Taking an AI without an E2 test not a good idea.

Frequent urination can be diabetes. I'd not self medicate without at least having and E2 and a fasted glucose. Both are cheap.

JMHO

 

[ryox82]

Multiple tests honestly. My fasted glucose was 100 on one test, and then was 92 on a reading taken unfasted mid day. My trt clinic provides all the relevant numbers on diagnostics. As David suggests, without the numbers you are shooting in the dark.

Well I had blood work done January and fasting glucose was fine as always when I get that checked. Last time I had my e2 checked on this protocol it has been in the early 20s. The only thing I can think of is that for whatever reason, my e2 could be slightly elevated. I'm gonna increase the arimidex just a tad to see if there is a difference because of these particular side effects I am noticing. I will also follow up with blood work soon as well

 

[Punkrocker]

So I double checked and looked at my fasting glucose from January 30th which was 87 which is normal. This has GOT to be an e2 issue I hope

 

[B5150]

Well how much water are you drinking?

 

[Punkrocker]

Well how much water are you drinking?

Not as much to be pissing this much. Interestingly enough is that I'm passing decent amounts of urine. It's not like I'm running to the bathroom every hour for just a little squirt. I'm taking legit pisses. I'm wondering if the coffee I drink is doing it, that or maybe my e2 is a bit up? If my prostate was getting irritated/enlarged, wouldn't I have more symptoms besides just pissing alot?

 

[Punkrocker]

Either way in the meantime I am slightly increasing my Arimidex and also I am at the market and I am buying Brazil nuts, pumpkin seeds and green tea which all assist in prostate health/symptoms. I'll cruise like this for the next week or two and see if I notice a difference, the next step is to go a day without coffee which will be the LAST thing I try. I'm hoping this is as simple as just slightly elevated e2 which could be causing a slight prostate issue and nothing more

You currently take .25 mgs or arimidex a day? Man that's A LOT. You may have crashed your E2. Instead of upping your dose, do what David Dunn suggested and get blood work done. You can't dial in your E2 without blood work.

No man I'm a heavy aromatizer. When I do .25 one day and .5 the next and alternate like that I end up with an e2 of 21. When I first started trt, I did a 200mg shot of test and didn't take any arimidex and a week later my e2 came back at 101 !

Omg this is insanely interesting!!!! Maybe my e2 is too low!!! But I remember when I was using hcg and my e2 got high I was waking up like 5 times a night to piss(I don't do that anymore, I just piss alot in the day). Oh man this is super interesting thank you so much! Maybe I should lay off the adex for a bit. I don't know what to do !!!

My best advice is don't change anything and get blood work done asap. Have the blood work done on the morning of the day you're supposed to inject your test but don't inject until after your labs. Don't eat or take anything at all the morning or your labs until you have your blood drawn. That way you can make a better decision of what to do.

Okay. The testosterone I am currently using it's from a compounding pharmacy. For every ml there is 200 milligrams of testosterone cypionate and 1 milligram of Arimidex. So besides that shot I will just do .25 milligrams of Arimidex daily for the next two weeks and get some blood done. It seems like I probably am crashing my E2 I am looking pretty cut and vascular that I and my friends have recently noticed. All in all from everything I've told you guys does it sound like I could have some issue with my prostate? Or are my levels just a bit out of whack. I'm hoping it's the second one

Total guess...but I think it's your E2 BUT like is said it's just a guess. Get checked asap so you can get yourself straight and not have to worry if it's your prostate.

I guess the only good news is that there's not difficulty starting/stopping the stream, or weak stream, dribble or waking up 5 times a night or pain or anything. Just pissing more than normal. Something is fishy....I do know for a fact that when my e2 gets too high it definitely affects my prostate because I'll wake up a million times a night to piss. But I'm not waking up alot at night right now, just going alot in the day. Hmmm doing .25mg arimidex daily should have my e2 anywhere from 20-40 according to the trends of all my blood work regarding the doses. I'm gonna get some private labs done and do an e2 and a psa

Let us know what the results are

For sure bro. I hate having to deal with this. I'm hoping that easing back on the adex just ever so slightly will fix this issue and I won't even need to do labs lol

 

[Punkrocker]

Ya know thinking about it even more, my e2 has gotta be crashed. When I was running 500mg of test enanthate, my total t was 3400 and my estradiol was 35 and I was doing .5mg one day and .75mg the next day. So cut that in half and you have where I'm at now

 

[kenpoengineer]

For $65 you can get bloodwork that includes CBC, CMP, TT, E2, FSH and LH from privatemdlabs dot com. I have BPH and know exactly how you feel. BTW, PSA testing is terrible for predicting prostate issues! If you lift heavy, ejaculate or ride a motorcycle/bike within 72 hours of a PSA test, your results can be artificially high.

Well I'm hoping I don't have a prostate issue! I'm gonna just ever so slightly ease up on the adex for a week or two and then get some labs. I can't do privatemd. They don't do residents of Massachusetts which is where I reside, but there's plenty others I can use

 

[Punkrocker]

Also for a guy with bph, what are your symptoms? Only frequent urination or do u have other symptoms

Frequent urination, 5 mins after urination the need to urinate again, weak flow. Doctor is suggesting low 2.5 mg dose Cialis per day.

 

[celc5]

My gut says prostate infection.

 

[mmorso]

Colon problems could also cause prostrate strain, so in told... you might wanna get a colonoscopy.. not kidding here

Don't change your dose until AFTER the labs come back

UPDATE:
Okay guys so a few days ago I came down with the flu and got really sick. After I got over it I noticed I was pissing a lot and had a little bit of pain as well so I went and got checked to see if I had a UTI. My urine came back clean so I decided to tell the doctor that I was worried about my prostate and that I'm on trt and blah blah blah. The doctor told me there is only one way that she can assure me I will be okay and I asked what that is and she proceeded to pull out a rubber glove and smile at me hahaha. So I let her stick her finger in my butt and she told me my prostate feels nice and round no irregularities and it's actually very small which is a very good thing. No sign of inflammation no sign of enlargement and no sign of any tumors or polyps whatever. My frequent urination could be anything overactive bladder bladder spasms she also told me some people just pee more than normal and that she doesn't agree that six to eight times a day should be considered normal she told me there are plenty of healthy people who pee more than that. So what do you guys think? I think I'm in the clear

 

[justhere4comm]

Less coffee.
Glad you're ok.

 

[celc5]

If u had a prostate infection like I guessed earlier, ur lady friend's fondling would have been very very painful. I think u are in the clear in that regard

Let her stick your finger in your butt? Newbie!!! The first thing you do is ASK her to stick her finger in your butt. It's the best part of the whole exam. With medical insurance copay it's much cheaper than you'd pay elsewhere.

So what do you guys think? I think I'm in the clear

Seriously? You've seen a doctor and got a thurough exam. Who gives a **** what some strangers on an internet message board think. Next thing you know you're gonna die from something. You got a prostate exam and a clean bill of health in one day. Don't ruin a good time!

 

[MacWanted]

Does your frequent urination still persist? I have the same symptoms, all of my tests went back negative (kidney, bladder, prostat, ...)

 

[ohiostate2827]

i have the same issue..been having it for yrs..E2 is in order..PSA was.05..i lowered my test from 100mg a week to 80mg see if that makes any diff...been taking D-Mannose to help flush out any infections that i may have...
