After Active Surveillance since 2013, time to explore treatment options
PSA under
Avodart
had been running around 2.0 since 2014. Had a follow-up biopsy in 2014, 18 core, was negative, but received a severe infection, prostatitis from it. Almost went sepsis, because they had me on CIPRO, and the e-coli infection was resistant to fluoroquinolones.

Catheter
I know there are oral meds out there such as
avodart
. Anyways, when I got home after the scope, I was not able to urinate. I rushed myself to ER and they put a catheter. it's discomforting but I'll take it in emptying my bladder. God bless you all. Nick

Questions for 2nd Meeting with MO tomorrow about reaction to 2 months on Orgovyx and Zytiga
They said the size of my prostate even after 12 years of
Avodart
precludes me having brachytherapy. RO and MO said they can treat me with “ curative intent “ as shown in STAMPEDE trial.

Darolutamide & Simvastatin?
Another escape pathway is the manufacture of DHT (dihydrotestosterone) via the alternate pathway that does not require testosterone,
Avodart
will inhibit that.

Anyone taking a 5ARI (dutasteride/finasteride) with Abiraterone?

avodart
-abiraterone-zytiga Has anyone discussed it with their docs? I plan to, later this week.

Impact of Dutasteride on PSA Kinetics and Time to Progression in Men with PSA-only Recurrent Prostate Cancer - medRxiv - pre-pub May 5, 2021
I know we have some members who will vouch for the effectiveness of
Avodart
in managing their own disease state.

No adverse effect from the covid vaccine to my PSA
FYI, apart from statins,
Avodart
and a long list of supplements I am not under any treatment.

TRUP vs. alternatives
Dutasteride (
Avodart
) and finasteride (Proscar) are two types of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. You’ll generally have to wait three to six months for symptom relief with 5-alpha reductase inhibitors.

5α-Reductase Inhibitors are Associated with Reduced Risk of SARS-COV-2 Infection
[1] Note: 5α-Reductase Inhibitors [5ARIs] - such as Dutasteride [
Avodart
] - inhibit the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone [DHT]. "SARS-CoV-2 has a disproportionately severe effect on men, suggesting that the androgen pathway plays a role in the disease.

Eleven Years Updates. Starting EstroGel.
Again slow rise and I off and on used
Avodart
and Casadox during the last three years. Had two 68 GL PSMA in the last three years which came out negative. Now I am planning to start EstroGel therapy. Had been closely monitoring the progress of some of the esteemed members who are on this group.

Side effect comparisons: Adovart vs Lupron
I have not had
Avodart
but might consider it down the road. My main complaints about Lupron include: decreased metabolism leading to obesity, loss of muscle mass, loss of bone density, fatigue and lethargy.

BAT, dutasteride, and my search for truth, Part 1 of 2
George71 in reply to kaptank neither
Avodart
or finasteride are blocking the cells from getting testosterone -- nor are they blocking you from making testosterone -- they only keep you from converting testosterone to DHT. Kaptank: I don't know the answer and cannot find it in the literature.

Need to shrink prosate.
Dr wants me to take
avodart
to shrink prostate. Don't care for sounds of possible side affects. What are the other and best options? New Dr would prefer it smaller before next biopsy due to very large.

Avodart mimicking herbs
I see that a lot of members here are taking
Avodart
to reduce DHT level (5-alpha-reductase inhibitor) and since it is hard to get this medication without a prescription, I searched for herbal replacement such as: 1) Pumpkin Seed 2) Saw Palmetto 3) Green Tea 4) Giant Dodder 5) Reishi mushroom 6) Fatty

[EAU-2020] Enzyme inhibition for overcoming CRPC.
Nalakrats is on his sabatical, so I'll speak for both of us - we already have a way to stop DHEA-S ending up as DHT:
Avodart
. The blood test for DHEA & DHEA-S is not expensive [4].
