Need to add that I was also on Andractim for a short period

July 4, 2006

Some time after I was started on Androgel, I was able to get a Doctor to

prescribe and

import Andractim Gel. This more commonly known as Androstanalone and is very

similar

to DHT.

DHT often gets an unwarranted bad rap from many doctors. It did not make me go

bald,

and it did not push up my PSA scores. If you do some research you will find

that in more

BPH cases than what you might think of the actual culprit is too much estrogen.

The

prostate does not like a lot of estrogen, and through out my course of being on

T, i have

had mine irritated and the Androstanalone helped a great deal.

Think about this for a minute-many men with BPH are older(lower T due to natural

age

decline in production of T), overwieght (increased aromatization in the adipose

tissues)

and all ready balding. In germany Andractim type preparations are used to treat

these

kinds of BPH. The moral of the story is that if your doctor does not do an

indepth

hormone level test for E and T, the common BPH meds may do absoulutly nothing

but cost

you alot of money.

As for being on Andractim-if i could get it consistently, i would use this

blended with

about a 50/50 level of androgel, or i would add it to my current pellet

regimine. Andactim

or androstanalone is more androgenic than is plain T, and that can have some

great

benefits.

One benefit of Andractim is absolutely no aromatization and thus no risk of

gyncomastia

or female type of wieght gain which can occur in males with high levels of E.

I think that Androstanalone has a higher affinity for the various Testosterone

receptors

than does just plain Testosterone, and if feels good to get that extra kick

sometimes.

Andractim also seemed to make for better erections as well, so that alone made

it more

desireable. In addition, i did not take on as much water (due to higher levels

of E) and I

lost a few stubborn pounds and my muscles got firmer. All in all-good stuff,

but you do

want to use Andractim with care and in moderation.

Thanks for this my younger brother has a tube stuck up his penis can void. BPH

is very bad he has had this for 2 weeks not poor guy. I told him to have his

Dr.'s test his Estradiol levels. I had bad BPH and when the did a ream job on

me it was good for one yr. Then same thing was back could not void. Getting my

Estradiol down did the trick now I void normal. I think he is going to have a

dam hard time getting this tested and treated. He was low T once and his Dr.

had him on Androgel for one month the tested him and took him off it saying his

levels came up WTF I wish he would have told me this the Dum Dr. never retested

him.
