I am 66 years old Asian male. My total testosterone level is 210 with low free testosterone at 2.9. My PSA is 1.361 with free PSA 0.226. I was recently given 8 weeks of antibiotics to relieve burning sensation ( Prostatitis ) I am Daily taking 10 mg of Alfoo (Alfuzosin) Plus Prostate Suplements from USA namely Saw Palmetto and Beta Sitosterol which seem to be of help. My symptoms are: Off and on burning sensation in scrotum Sometimes frequent urination in night 4-5 time otherwise once most of the nights can not sleep easily in night and that too for just 4-5 hours. Foggy brain most of time and memory problem. Feel sleepy most of time during day. My question is: What is the best course of action for me to feel good again and stay safe. Can I start Clomid 25 mgs /day to improve my Testasterone levels without worsening my Prostate???

Hi,
Clomid (clomiphene citrate) is the medication that is used to treat infertility in women. It works by stimulating ovulation. It is not typically used to treat prostatitis, which is inflammation of the prostate gland or to increase testosterone levels. Testosterone replacement therapy may be considered for men with low testosterone levels and prostatitis. Still, it is essential to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the appropriate course of treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
