If there is a way I could get my hands on Dht, is it taken for life?
My symptoms sound alot like post finasteride syndrome…those people raised Dht through trt but have not noticed any improvement in symptoms.

Please just do me a favor and stop listening to every little thing that comes into your brain. Imagine how many people have benefited from TRT and their DHT increasing . these folks dont run around posting on forum boards because they feel great and want everyone to know. they only post negative information or stuff thats wrong. like yourself and myself.
I can only google this. you need to take charge and start increasing your DHT without TRT, if you are not able to take TRT. Ok? If this helps then continue.
While healthy it is much easier to look into the reasons behind your issues and find the ultimate solution. atleast you are feeling better. until then your going to stay miserable friend. dont do that to yourself.

I feel you , but its tough when you feel like you have 100 different things going on and the doctors are telling you DHT is not the cause. I also have discomfort in my right (vas deferns) as if its clogged or something? It is only on the right side I have this. I have a pelvic mri coming up along with SSEP of pudendal nerve.
Ps. I have been loading creatine (5g) 4x a day in efforts to try and maximise DHT. I feel like my face is getting back to masculinity, I dont have the droppy, bags under eyes, thinness in the face. It’s only been 4 days so we’ll see what else improvments I’ll hopefully get!

just got my e2 , and DHT , revevaluated, E2 went down even more. It is now at 11.9 (11.5-43.2) it was 13 , a few months back, will have to wait 2 weeks for the DHT results as they get analyzed in Germany.
I’m so glad I found this thread
I’ve been having the exact same issues for 7 years, no doctor has been able to help me, my testes are becoming flaky, and wearing away to small nubs, and my eyes are bloodshot every day. My inner chest gets very sweaty, and my anus has been unable to accommodate large feces as they pass through. I was told I had low DHT and some people told me to raise my DHT but I don’t think that could be the case. We are in this together brother.

I appreciate the sarcasm… However my main concern is the genital numbness and dull ejaculation. Every thread I have come across adresses this issue to either low or high e2. I have been loading Creatine for the 2 weeks 5g 4x a day, and I still have the numbness, no libido. Will be interested to see where my DHT levels are in 2 weeks.
ps. I suggest a crow bar to pry open your anus to accomadate your feces.
is it common for someone who never took finasteride/propecia/accutane/ssri to develop low DHT while having normal/high testosterone?Or am I missing something and definately consumed a 5AR inhibitor?!
Crissler said DHT and everyone here said DHT. You should definitely try a better way of increasing dht … You should not settle for one solution in the dht realm and then call it quits.
For e2 that sucks man. Your definitely suffering. Why don’t you get your hands on some e2 pills to increase estrogen. If you have low dht then e2 should be high from my reading. Surely there could be something else that’s messing with e2.
Do not create a link between the two. Maybe there are two entirely separate reasons behind your e2 being low and dh.

yes, and Im completely natural , I never took any steroids or anything. I have taken protein powder /supplements and come creatine before but thats about it. I tried creatine loading for 1.5 weeks, my eyes feel better and my face feels fuller , but still low libido and numbness.

Have you solved your DHT and/or estrogen issues, though? Taking creatine (or anything) for 10 days is not a solution for any hormonal problem. This has been explained to you many times. Pick an issue, try a solution, actually try it, give it a month, not an hour, and see how you feel and get some new bloods done to see if what you tried was effective.

I thought the low DHT was issue, and supplementing with creatine would help raise it?
Ok, and youve tried for a week? That is not enough time for anything to significantly impact hormone levels

so you suggest 1 month right, Isn’t it bad to take so much creatine in though?
There are so many ways to increase. Find the most effective way . Google and find out how long they say it wil take with the method u choose. Once done take a blood test. Then reassess.
Can someone explain to me the difference between Dhea and dhea-s? I mean my endo here in Croatia sent me to get it checked and it came back elevated but she doesn’t seem to care?
DHEA-S 12,51 (4.34-12.2)
It’s barely over range, your going to have to be significantly out of range for an endo to spring into action.
We have a medical care system, a system that waits until we become ill before it kicks into action instead of a health care system focused on helping us stay healthy.
Preventive medicine, anti-aging and wellness keeps you from becoming ill and therefore healthy, sick is more profitable than preventive medicine because once you’re F******, big pharma gets it’s hooks in you and now you rely on prescription drugs for life.
Sick wants you ill, that’s the goal.

its barely over the range yes, but I also have other hormones out of balance, so I was hoping there was some magical supplement that would fix it all, and make a 23 year old have erections like a normal human being.
In my experience endo’s are terrible at men’s health which has been ignored until now do the aging population, sadly a lot of doctors are left knowing almost nothing. If a doctor doesn’t know anything, the don’t take action. Then you have the sick care model that prefers to see you ill so they can diagnose you with a disease which opens up billing codes they can then bill insurance and everyone gets paid.
It is this reason the sick care system will be unable to help you with your hormone imbalances. You may need to see a private doctor in anti-aging or sports medicine that focus on symptoms and labs and not just lab values only.
I don’t think your doctor even knows how to treat or diagnose you, otherwise that would have happened by now.

thats what I thought initially before all this started 2.5+ years ago. I thought I fucked up my hormones and I needed specifically a sports doctor to understand… the primary doctor here in Croatia pushed me done the neurologist path even though I knew myself it was a hormonal problem as I felt like complete hell as well as absence of morning-spontaneous erections, low semen volume, numbness etc…
I should have trusted my gut this whole time. Any idea of what the official term is for these sports doctors, I will try to find some doctor here in Croatia that was part of the olympic team or something…
sorry its me again,
I have been contacted through another forum from another guy who is dealing with same symptoms and he never took fin/propecia accutane. His Dht was also low. He applied Testosterone cream to his scrotum and he said that he raised his DHT, but it made no difference in symptoms. Since im only 24 I dont want to go on Testosterone because I have good levels of T.
I have noticed now that on all 3 of my last blood test I have had high Liver enzymes as well as Billirubin and uric acid? To make matters worse I am currently overseas where I do not speak the language perfectly so I cant describe all my symptoms to my doctor. They see normal test and just claim your depressed or anxiety…
