new member to group- recent lab test

[Guest guest]

I am 40 and from UK, had

testosterone 9.7 (8.4-28.5)

prolactin 135 (is this not way to high???)

I have not beendiagnosed as having hypogonadism

suffering low libido / possible ED, very forgetful etc. smallisth

testicles

I recently lost ability to push out my urine stream with force, it

just flows out at steady rate, could this be prostate problems?.

I have appt with urologist in August.

I am about 30-40lb overweight

I ahve 3 year old child with my wife and we want another baby, so I

am very concerned that any supplements I take, would not affect my

sperm /fertility.

I am looking to get advise about natural means of achieveing higher T

levels and exual potentcy / fertility.

From the information i have been able to get on the subject, you

need to find out what is causing your hypogonadism, and whether it

be primary or secondary. You may be able to stimulate your hypo axis

with clomid for a period of time which could help your pituatary to

send more LH and FSH to the testes, thus encouraging fertilty and

testosterone production. Of course it will depend on what your

problem is and if the testes are capable of doing so. If your

problem is primary, (hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism)HCG could be an

option. It is a fertilty drug ofen combined with HMG, for males to

facilitate spermatogenesis and testosterone production. If you are

concerned about maintaining your fertility, testosterone replacement

therapy will only shut down your testes and sperm production.

So you should probably see a fertilty specialist or endo who is

experienced in this area... You didnt give a measurement for the

prolactin...is it mIU/L? If so the normal range is somewhere between

40-450. The only natural means i have investigated are possibly

acupunture, which has shown some promising effects and the

supplement tribulus...

Just as an FYI - I saw a male infertility specialist/urologist the

other day for a second opinion. He has been able to induce fertility

in males after being on T replacement for a couple years. He has had

people switch from T to a combo of HCG and another drug when they want

to get pregnant, switch back to T for maintenance, and switch back

again to the combo to try again. Not sure if that is the best method

or not, but it is doable. He also told me I'm already infertile at my

extremely low levels.

Also, below I think you meant to say secondary instead of primary?

you are quite right mark.. i meant to say secondary... primary is

testicular failure.
