Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Fortunately, I don’t suffer from any, but one is blood clots in your legs or DVT. Talk to your Doctor about all that. I am not the one to counsel you on that.
Man up and do it for you!

 

Be careful!

See an endocrinologist not a GP.

Belly fat metabolizes Testosterone into estradiol so you can have a healthy T production and still present with Low T due to belly fat. The problem is when you start taking T your factory shuts down and your testicles atrophy. Not a problem if you actually have Hypogonadism but if you don't it will be a problem.

I had a normal libido but when the Dr. tested my T level it was low. He put me on T and initially it was great but over time I got more anxious and my libido became mismatched with my wife causing a lot of frustration for both of us. I was good for 2-3x per day she was happy with 1x per week or two....

After several years I lost a lot of weight ~90lbs and my T levels skyrocketed to over 1500 and my free testosterone was above the max for an 18 year old. I stopped the T about a year ago but it caused a lot of other bad side affects which are finally settling down and I am getting back to feeling good.

If you need it go for it but make sure, if you have a belly try losing weight first. In the long run you will feel better longer....

 

Hey Panama Jack, thanks for your info about the T-replacement therapy. I hope I will get the same results as you were getting throughout the years. For years my energy level is low, hope that will get better too. As you mentioned reading about the side effects is important. I found some info, going to read that the coming days. Glad you have your 'drive' back and that you have an understanding and loving wife.

 

Yes, it truly take a understanding wife. First you will see your energy level increase. Then your sex drive and stamina increase. Try dropping 20 pounds, which really is not that hard for a man. You will feel great!
Don’t be embarrassed to tell your doctor everything. My wife was in the room with me and heard everything and even agreed with me. The doctor knew we were a very sexually active couple and wanted it to remain.

 

I do it for some other reasons too. I did gain a little weight after ending my smoking habits. That is two years ago. Dropping a few pounds would be okay, But some meat must be left he

 

T shots are good, but they can kill you, its called dying for a shag, I was on them last year and they can give you a pulmonary embolism its where you get a blood clot in your leg vein a piece breaks off and ends up in your lungs, if you don't know what's happening its good night, I was lucky my wife got me hospital and that's why I'm here to warn you as it could be you next time, only1 in 3 survive, it kind of mucks things up for you, but its better than pushing up daisies.

 

fuck these kind of side effects are not encouraging :|

 

I don't recall any side effects. The shots just didn't do much for me.

 

I had mine checked in my late 30s because I was always exhausted. Everything still worked fine but I was to the point I did could fall asleep standing up. My number was something like 140.

I got on a low dose every 2 weeks and have been for 6 years or so. Quick and easy injection I do at home. I feel MUCH better. I'm in my mid 40s and glad I checked on it. I stay around 400 to 500 on the regular tests. A bit high actually but it has been effective.

First few months I noticed a major spike in my sex drive but that levels out and you just feel better overall.

 

I'm not sure I saw another female comment on this thread, but it is applicable to us as well.

First, regarding T for men...my husband is on a cream, and his T is still below the normal levels. But his doctor (from a premier hospital you would recognize) is fine with that number. We are fortunate that even with it that low, it hasn't affected anything regarding his ability to perform. Where I see it is he is more anxious...and that's not his nature. That all being said, my suggestion is a hormone specialist. His current gp doctor prescribes synthetic T. And it just doesn't work as well, in our opinion, as T from a compounding pharmacy. But back to his doctor from the mainstream hospital...he will only prescribe synthetic (my opinion is these hospitals work hand in glove with the pharmaceutical companies). He has an appointment next week with my hormone specialist. He was on bio identical hormones before the synthetic...and the results were much better.

As far as females go, we too can suffer from low T. I get pellets 3-4 times a year. I've been on pellets for 7 years...and it's the best thing I ever did. It changed my world...and his : ). I had no sex drive, brain was in a fog, no energy...all the classic symptoms. So if your missus has no interest in sex...and she's 40+, having her hormone levels and treated...might rock both of your worlds!

I am by no means an expert on bio identical hormones. I don't work for a company that sells them. I just know what it has done for my husband and me. If you have questions, PM me. I'll tell you all I know. : )

But few general practitioners are up to speed on this matter...at least that has been our experience. ​

 

I was on T shots see my post above, its the odd guy who survives like one in three.

 

Yes, you have to remain physically fit and stay active. But, the single most important item is regulating the dosage. I have been on it many years. I am lucky. It is the absolute best thing I have ever done for myself.

 

So last week I went to the doctors. I told him about my struggles. He was not amused by the things I told him, but he was understanding and listening well. In the end, I asked him if I could do a blood test. I did that right away. The coming Friday I have a second appointment at the doctor's office. Then we will discuss the results.
I hope some extra 'shots' will help. And I know, I should walk more, more frequently. So for the coming period, there is a lot to do. But I do it for myself.
Did the shots itself give you energy Panama Jack?

 

Yes they do. At least for me. They boost my energy level. To be clear, it’s not all about the sex. Please note: There are peaks and valleys in your testosterone levels, even with the shot dosage. For me the dosage is at its high about 2 days after the shot. Then it levels out. By the timeI get another shot, I can tell I need it.
It is so important to work with your doctor to get the dosage regulated. I am 66 now and can do morning walks and stay active.

 

For me it is not about the sex either, more to get my energy levels up again. I restarted my augmented reality game on my phone. For that, you have to go out and walk. I will keep in mind the dosage if my T-levels are to low.
I will keep you posted.

 

Apologise for possibly a dumb question but sometimes testosterone supplements are advertised as penis enlargement pills. Does testosterone treatment increase the size of your member or is it all rubbish advertised?

 

There is no pill that will make your cock larger than what you are born with. Be careful with these ads that do a great job of convincing they are a miracle potion. They are not.

 

Yeah, that's what I figured but I suppose there was no harm in asking. Just curious that's all! Anyone who buys suppliments online are asking for trouble anyway!

 

I've posted on DHEA in the Health Forum and not being a male, I don't know about the size issue but I know about DHEA and libido. Check out the Health area and check out DHEA in general...and a LOT is not rubbish...I've been supplementing for 30 yrs and probably 15 yrs with DHEA, and 82 and pretty young for the years.

Good to get DHEA levels checked by MD, and you can be sure your levels are low, everyone has low levels with aging.

 

Your right about pills and increasing cock size it doe not work, But yes there's a but, exercise will, get on a site that will show you how, the down fall is its time consuming but does work, put your trust in your hands and a good pump and gain.

Any body wanting more info contact me.

You to can be longer and thicker.
