Proceed with caution. Some urologists still insist that you need the finger up the okole test.

Oh yes, a complete exam wouldn't happen without you bending over and the doctor checks your oil!

Trust me, THAT still is nothing compared to getting the news you got the "Big C" in your lower region. TRT ain't for everyone.

Nobody ever talks about the side effects on your prostrate from taking TRT, which, depending on the individual, could be horrible.

Or not.

If you are considering this therapy, you'd be wise to see a real urologist and ask to take a PSA test first. It's a blood draw, after fasting, BTW and no big deal at all. Your doctor will then have a baseline 'before' you start on TRT regimen, that is, unless he recommends you don't. Your likelihood of getting prostrate may be indicated on how much your PSA count increases and over what amount of time. I get tested 2 X a year and numbers are in a safe range.

My brother took TRT and his PSA numbers went thru the roof! He later was diagnosed with cancer but had it removed through that new technique involving minimal surgery.

But taking a "biopsy" to ascertain how bad he was is the worst part.

From everything I've read and heard about these TRT clinics, they never seem to recommend Not getting it, yes?

Can anyone recommend a place for TRT? Tbh I'm looking for someone whos willing to prescribe me 250 mg+ per week. I tried Universal Men's Clinic. The older Dr. Wouldn't prescribe me trt, but instead tried to push me Clomid.

Why would you want to take medication that would increase your chance of prostate cancer?

It's legal to get a test prescription online. I haven't tried it myself, but I've heard a lot of good things from friends about Marek Health.

I'm Not a physician, nor intent to be one. All info provided in this forum is for entering purposes only.

For those braddas interested, this are of some of the products I've been taking recently, and proven to be somewhat effective in my past couple of AMP visits. A) Magnesium, B) DHEA 7, C) L-Citrulline, D)Yohimbine, E)DIM.

It won't be fast acting as V or C, but they can help in a more natural way with a proper diet and exercise plan. I tend take the L citrulline, and yohimbe twice p / day for between meals for better results, and usually two hrs. Before a AMP visit. The DIM levels out the bad estrogen, but it's effects can be grueling if taken for the first time. Like a detox state.

Stay safe.

FYI: Generally with amino acids like L-Citrulline it's best to take on an empty stomach for optimal absorption. It's taken in preworkouts because just like the other pre-workout ingredients, it's most effective to take it on an empty stomach around 30 mins - 1 hour before your "workout" time.

First how much mgs. Are you taking? How long have you been taking generic V, I ask this because it took my body about ten maybe 15 times, to adjust. Used to get nauseated, face flush, slight headache, seeing blue spots. Don't know how much mgs. You taking but if symptoms persist, lower mgs. , If you are taking 50 mgs. Cut tab in half take 25 mgs. , with an open mind, meaning just because you are cutting down the amount of mgs. , doesn't mean desired effects will diminsh, but side effect will and vice versa just because you increase the mgs. Doesn't mean you are going to get more desired effect, in many cases, only the side effects will increase. Anyway hope that helps. P.S. , Remember the tendency is the thinking, more equals more hard, when in fact more equals more side effects.

I'll try less mg. Thanks for the info!

Have you tried Cialis or Levitra? Sometimes different ED medications can have different effects on the same person.

Vitamin V gives me the best woody compared to the rest. Dude effects are similar for me.

I get congested after taking the generic Viagra. Does any have a solution for the side effects? I was thinking of taking a Allegra-D with the Viagra.

You say you worked there decades ago so not sure if your info is dated from when you worked there, or if it is more recent.

The times I went to Diamond Head Clinic they only tested for chlamydia and gonorrhea. They ask you questions and consider you low risk if you only have sex with women. If you want to get tested for more stuff you probably have to tell them you have sex with men or trannies or use IV drugs.

I used to go a couple times a year to diamond head clinic for G&C test then go straight to life foundation the same day for free hiv and hep c test. Both were walk in places but I think now you need appointments at both places since the pandemic. I also think life foundation changed their name.

Life Foundation is now the Hawaii Health and Harm Reduction Center.

[Little Dickie]

I was working here decades ago so yeah they are good. They check for HIV and sometimes chlamydia and the clap based on your history. They'll still ask you the sensitive questions like who was your partner, they won't turn you in but if a lot of people get it from the same place they might turn in that place to the DOH.

A good place to go if you want to get checked without seeing your main doctor so this stuff doesn't go into your main health records.

DIM would mess me up, as with any estrogen altering / regulating substance. I took T shots with anastrazole already in it and was fooked up.

Is messed up at first, usually taking days, up to a week of detox like effect. Is recommended to drink plenty of water while you are at it to level the early stages faster. Your pee turns darker also, like a golden orange. Last but not least, Read somewhere that it also raises you Free T.

Stay safe.
