6 Week Osta Run: Prostate Issue

C

I"m going into my 6th week of Osta and as I said before my gains in strength and weight are more than expected.

However, yesterday night I felt a nagging discomfort in my prostate area. Couldn't sleep. I don't know if it's a temporary case of prostatitis or some other type of androgenic induced issue triggered by the ostarine. I'm in my late 40's.

One of the studies on osta stated that it can cause "prostate stimulation(not sure exactly what that is) and hyperplasia (excess growth) in men"
Q:Has anyone else reported this issue while on Osta?

Q: Do you think that taking finesteride might help alleviate this problem?

I"m speculating that even though osta doesnt work through the DHT channels, maybe there's an elevation of DHT through out my body due to the overall increased androgenic synthesis in muscles.

I really wanted to finish my 6th week of the cycle but getting worried. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
 
nothing to do with osta , most likely something else , what else are yh taking

Finasteride should be used as a last resort and definitely not the first time you may have prostatitis. I've had prostatitis three times... It comes as goes.

I recommend herbal supplements that include Saw Palmetto, Cialis daily helps and I've read the SARM S-4 helps also. If you're prone to prostate problems anytime you introduce androgenic or dht compounds you're likely to have problems.

Not taking anything else for muscle development. Just osta.

I've been taking other types of herbs and supplements of the highest quality for many years, mostly for longevity -schizandra,ashwaganda, ginseng, saw palmetto, milk thistle, fish oil. If anything these herbs support prostate health.

there are studies showing osta can cause prostate growth and prostate stimulation.

I have prostate problems even on TRT... Sounds like your prostate is sensitive like mine.

Yeah I think it's the osta. I hope its just temporary inflammation and there's no major growth in the prostate. Wondering if i should finish up the last 6 days of my 6 week osta run.

It's not likely you did any major damage with a SARM. You'll most likely recover fine when you come off.

SarmsX. It's a great product but like cbbram said, it could just be that my prostate is sensitive to androgen compounds. Studies on osta show that it can cause prostate growth and prostate stimulation(not exactly sure what this means).
 
Have you used clomid? I have it ready for pct, wondering if the clomid will help alleviate whatever inflammation or growth that's happening downstairs.

I have not... I'm on TRT

How do you deal with prostate inflammation flair ups while on TRT? Do you continue taking T or take a break until discomfort dissipates?
Also, do you have experience using finasteride to alleviate these type of prostate flair ups?

I don't recommend Finasteride for someone who is cycling and PCT. Your androgen and dht levels aren't constant like they are while on TRT. I also don't recommend starting and stopping Finasteride.

Thanks for that info and the link. Maybe what I'm experiencing is prostatis, hopefully that's all it is. Will try the warm bath route and see if that helps.

As a side note, I read through the finasteride thread
and just as an FYI: I was on finasteride for about 5 years (for slightly thinning hair). I stopped taking it about 6 years ago. I did have some brain fog now and then while on it and slightly reduced sex drive but when I stopped taking it the brain fog disappeared and sex drive came back strong.

Thanks for sharing this... Finasteride will help your prostate for sure. But as you already know it comes with it's own set of side effects. For me it's been helpful and I will continue taking it.

I no longer have prostate discomfort, everything's fine. It might have just been temporary inflammation. I kept taking the osta and I'm still taking it..feelin' good!
