question from a user

7 years ago, at 41 years old, I started TRT for the first time. My total T was 199 (forgot what my free T was but it was low as well). That was all my doctor tested for at that time. I got started on 150mg EOW, then 200mg EOW, then 100mg weekly. After about a year, my highest total T was 850. I requested for vitamin D and estradiol blood work. My D was very deficient and E2 was normal. I’ve been on Vitamin D supplements ever since. Unfortunately I ended up having some major side effects. My prostate became enlarged, my RBC was extremely high and I had inflammation in my great saphenous veins. I was told to donate blood, but I had a condition that prevented me from donating and the process of getting it drawn at medical facilities was time consuming, which caused me to not get it drawn regularly. My PSA was always in normal range and digital rectal exam was good. No treatment was provided for the itchy veins. Due to the side effects, I quit TRT after 2 years. My prostate decreased back to normal, my RBC went back to normal, but my veins remained inflamed and itchy for years. Only now after 5 years is it mildly itchy. After 5 years of no-TRT, I’d like to start again, but worried about my prostate and veins. Thanks to the pandemic, I’m able to donate blood now. However, my dad has an enlarged prostate that he’s had multiple surgeries for so I’m concerned of that. And I’m also afraid of my veins becoming severely itchy again. Do you know if there any treatments to prevent enlargement of prostate and inflammation of my leg veins if I were to restart TRT? I’m 49 now, around 18% body fat, exercise regularly, get 7.5 hours of sleep, eat fairly healthy, good mental health. I am on medication for gout, Familial hypercholesterolemia and adhd. Other than that, no other medical conditions.
