Does dhea cause bph?
5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
No: There are no data of which I am aware showing this causality. You may be thinking of dht, which is the form of testosterone that is most active in prostate tissue. The enzyme that converts testosterone to Dht is a target for some BPH medications like Finasteride and dutasteride.
