TRT causing UTI like symptoms, how do you verify BPH is the cause?
I'm been on TRT for six months and working through the proper dose which we settled on 60Mg weekly which I was doing twice per week. At month 5 I started having frequent urinary/urgency symptoms along with "stream" issues especially at night. I had a Urine culture done and no UTI so I switched to "micro dosing" every other day to try and avoid level swings but that ended up not doing much and the TRT is mostly out of my system. I got a PSA check and my numbers were good, no worries on Prostate cancer.
I would like to go back onto TRT and I am switching docs since mine was not as familiar with men. I've got an appointment this week with a new doc, and I'd like to go in with some education on my part, and I do suspect BPH and I also found stomach/pooping would increase my UTI like symptoms. Would they normally do an MRI/Ultrasound or something to conclusively verify BPH or should I just ask to be put on Cialis with the TRT, or an Alpha Blocker.
