Testosterone and penis size and using Propecia

[RockofFox]

If I get nervous or anxious my penis turtle's (shrinks) markedly. I'm sure its just the bodys physiological response somehow, and nothing to worry about. Focus on techniques to conquer your anxiety and that becomes irrelevant anyway.

Although there is anecdotal evidence to suggest people getting low sex drive on Saw Palmetto, I havent seen any studies to suggest it does. It certainly shouldnt in theory, as it has a 5 alpha reductase inhibiting action, so technically there should in fact be more serum testosterone as there is less conversion to DHT.

But in reality I have heard some people say the same thing as you. Strange one.

Anecdotal evidence, tried Saw Palmetto myself when my PSA numbers grew and found it had an immediate affect on my lido, and eq. Threw that shit out immediately. My problem was an infection, two week regime of potent antibiotics, brought the numbers down. Numerous digital exams showed no hardening or swelling. After the last exam I asked the doctor if we were now engaged.

I was taking Saw Palmetto for the same reason and experienced similar things. As for any biochemistry advice I cannot say. But, would you rather be bald, or have a lowered libido? Myself being just under 21, I cannot say

Saw Palmetto has been shown to block androgen receptors... thus decreasing any of your secondary male sex characteristics... or androgenic activity... this can also include primary sex characterstics as well...

I know SP also can block ER-beta receptors as well.. I don't recall if SP can cross the blood-brain barrier... I know even though Free-Test that's converted via 5a-reduc to DHT is more androgenic... in the brain... the conversion of Test via aromatase to estradiol induced secondary male sex characteristics systemically... it's poorly studied and not well understood in men... in women.. well, the opposite occurs lol

estradiol is the biologically active form of estrogen.

Hey man,

I've got a good idea.

Why don't you use the DHT blocking hair shampoo.

This blocks DHT in the hair follicles but only has a local effect. In other words, it has much less effect on other parts of the body if applied topically to the scalp.

You can also try minoxidil which is rubbed onto the scalp. It increases blood flow, allowing more nutrient to reach the hair follicles.

Good Luck,
Big Tom

Buy tribulis,zinc,yohimbe and roaring tiger pills.Do cycle with them...this will help u...i was in same situation.

[JizzInMyPants]

use Nizoral 2% shampoo. the active ingredient, ketoconazole, has been proven to not only stop hairloss but also regrow new hair, with no systemic side effects like with Propecia. you could also try these things called scalp exercises (similar to PE, but for scalps!). stuff like laser combs are bogus and a waste of money. i would just avoid Propecia altogether as it's like playing with fire i've heard.

This stuff came back to really sting me.

I quit in March after going on and off the drug and my body totally crashed, it's been 6 months off and it has left me with ED, low libido, leg hair loss to name just a few symptoms. I would warn anyone taking this poison to drop it now.

[RockstarParkingDude]

well, going on and off of it was the real problem. you messed with your hormones in an inconsistant manner. if you had stayed on it your body would have adjusted and re-balanced itself, however by quitting and starting, your body was unable to regain balance. go get some bloodwork done, you might need a bit of hormone therapy. HCG, novladex, or clomid might help you get back to normal. but if your test is low naturally, you might be better just going with androgel.

bald isn't bad if you really just rock it. don't fight it, embrace it and run man.
