Re: test results and new meds

[Guest guest]

His estrdiol is <20? do they have a number or just <20? It could be too low?

No DHT test?

Just bought Shippen's book and in it he say's it can take even up to a year to

get back to

normal. How long has he been on TRT?

Low estrdiol and or DHT can result in low libido.

Also i would suggest he get on HCG, it has a profound effect on my libido. 200IU

a few

times a week is great.

Also get a thyroid panel done and maybe add Armour to the mix.

Hey Jules,

Next time, see if she will run a sensitive estradiol analysis to see

where the E2 is. It may actually be too low! Men need E2. Most

specialists try to get the E2 in the middle of the range. I think E2

does factor into libido, etc. Also, check on DHT. DHT is related to

libido. If it is too low, that may be an issue. One thing you may

want to try is to apply the Testim to the testes. This will increase

DHT. Also, next time get a Prolactin test. A high prolactin may

also lead to low libido. If the prolactin is high a number of folks

have reported libido benefits with Bromocriptine or Dostinex (which

lowers Prolactin).

Good Luck.

If he is not taking anything currently to block his e2, then I doubt

it is too low. It is definitely low enough that there is no need to

consider blocking any of it though, so your doctor is absolutely

correct there.

He may want to consider rubbing some gel on testicles a couple of

times and see if it helps in the sex drive department. It is

certainly not dangerous to do this with a small amount of gel

sometimes.

Hi,

Increasing his libido may mean having better erections to you. If it

does then you may be in for a surprise. While the level of

testosterone is increasing in the body, his erection performance will

probably be very good if he is getting enough to actually raise his

level after his normal supply stops because that is the normal

reaction to adding T from outside the body. His interest in you will

probably go up, but once the level of T stabilizes in the body, his ED

may return just as before. If he is very young and his development was

being interfered with because of low T then his ED may stay away.

Have you read any good books on TRT like " The Testosterone Syndrome "

by Dr. Eugene Shippen, $14.95 at and Noble?

If he is suffering from ED because of nerve damage, age related,

diabetes or other reasons, then the ED will come back as before.

Viagra may then be the best alternative or if the damage is severe,

then injectibles may provide the best therapy for ED.

I've been using the injectibel trimix therapy for more than 10 years

and it still works like a charm.

Hi,

He is 47XXY/48XXXY so he is primary hypogonadism. He is 42 and started on

TRT at 20. He has been through shots, patches and now on his 2nd go round on

gels, first Androgel and now Testim.

[Guest guest]

We will try to get her to do those tests. She has some kind of phobea of

trying anything new. At least when it comes to drugs " made for women " . The

next

blood test is scheduled for 2 months from now. She wants him to have time on

the higher dose. Does anyone else use Testim on this high a dose?

[Guest guest]

He is 42 and has been on TRT since 20. He was up in the 900 range 6 months

ago on 2 tubes of Testim. It has declined to almost half of that now. As far

as libido, I am talking about desire. He seems to have less drive in life too

and seems depressed slightly. I know he can not handle the amount of stress

that he used to when this low.

Hi,

You have it right. T does give you back your willingness to take on

projects like remodeling the basement and such. The feeling of well

being is essential as well.
