Frequent Urination

Has anyone had a symptom of frequent urination? I cannot recall how long this has been going on, and it may well span beyond the 3 years I've had PFS. But, given the possible effects on the prostate, I figured I'd run it by you guys.

You need to give us more info. How much you drink, what is the color of your urine, can you urinate easily and a lot of volume at once or is it like you urinate a little and there is a feeling that you have still urine in the bladder, but you can't urinate more etc.?

The type of urine changes as a function of diet so that is hard to say. Obviously if I have a coffee, it happens more frequntly. What you said at the end hits the nail on the head though, its like my bladder doesn't empty fully so I'll have to go sometimes 2 or 3 times in a short window of time.

Yes it looks like prostate issues. Maybe your estradiol is high which is cause of enlarged prostate? I had big problems with enlarged prostate during my steroid days. When my estradiol was sky high..

I've head my hormonal profile tested and it has all come back in range. I have developed gyno since coming off Fin though. So at some point my estrogen must have been high.

This was one of my symptoms, lasted about two years.. lots of sauna, Epsom salt baths it eventually subsided, this could be an infection,

if it's a tight bladder thing (I've had that too off and on) then it's inflammation.. I doubt it's the prostate though, especially if youre at a young age..

Enlarged prostate due to high estradiol is more and more common in younger guys. Look at teen boys now. In comparison with teen boys 40 years a go.. Fake estrogens in chemicals etc.. are everywhere. Boys have lower and lower test and higher and higher estrogen.. Guys back then were in their 20s basically grown man.. Now they are chubby, bitch tits, no beard, feminine behavior etc.. Basically castrated chemically.. Sad and disgusting..

This condition causes issues with smooth muscle function, nervous system disorders, and immune dysregulation, all of which can affect the bladder and urinating.

while I agree estrogen is a big problem too and can lead to prostate issues, my point is older estrogen dominant men have a much greater risk than estrogen dominant youths.

all im saying is I wouldn't automatically come to a knee jerk decision that it's solely prostate, stay aware of other possibilities

I had it bad for a period of about 3 years (and still have on some days). Had multiple prostate, urine and peeing checks but they couldn't find anything. Automatically came with inflammation. Somehow some of us are prone to some kind of chronicle prostatitis. I always made it worse whenever I had some strong days at the gym or when I tried testosterone suppletion.

Healthy lifestyle without overdoing on exercise seems to hold it down.

My prostate is/was anything but enlarged, though. If anything my doc mentioned it was rather small.

Isn't prolactin the culprit more so than estradiol? I have similar symptoms and both my test and estradiol are very low. Prolactin however, is high.

Could be that I am dealing with a different issue, I suspect that I have a kidney problem but I just can't figure out what's wrong

IF you piss a lot it is most likely LOW ESTROGEN. High estrogen will make you bloat up like a balloon and not piss at all.

You have low vasopressin. It happens since you dont convert phenylalanine to tyrosine, since you are missing bh4. from low glutathione recycling.

Vasopressin is released by active vitamin C. And it is made with tyrosine and arginine. But without glutathione you have zero ascorbate( ascorbate glutathione cycle) And thus vasopressin is not released.

This is why aging is dehydration. glutathione recyling goes down, and you age. This is why eating sugar makes you dry out. Since you lower your b1 with sugar, this lowers NADPH and your active vitamin C falls.

If you have low NADPH from PFS, then estrone will be high and estadiol low. Active vitamin C will be also low. So vasopressin wont be there. And you just get dehydrated. And get alkalosis with low volume.

What do you recommend that I do to combat this?
