Guest guest Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 I think this is a perfect case of focusing too much on numbers. If you wake up with a boner, the mechanism works, but remember that testosterone levels are normally higher in the early am. That's why men have " morning wood. " If your hormones are within normal limits, and you feel like your energy is ok, and your libido is good, all's fine. If you have concerns about how you're doing, I'd talk to my doctor about it.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 yes ...do not mess with using testosterone and your hormonal axis if you do not have symptoms of low testosterone. Remember: "Low" is a relative term. It compares you to many other patients. But your "low" may be good enough for you. Regards, Vergelpowerusa.org In a message dated 9/30/2008 7:27:54 P.M.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Get a new doctor. The crap you're hearing is the same same crap I heard for years. Most doctors don't understand hormones, so they recommend against them. My life has improved immensely through testosterone supplementation. Good luck Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 This is extracted from an article by web-md (I'll post the entire article in files if you want to see it). Dr. Grim, should this be taken into consideration when deciding which MCB to RX? (I'm 6 for 6!) Low Testosterone Affects Health, Mood, and Sex The content below was selected by the WebMD Editorial staff and is solely under WebMD's editorial control. Low Testosterone and Your Health Researchers are unlocking the mysteries of how low testosterone is related to men's overall health. Along the way, they're uncovering connections between low testosterone and other health conditions. Diabetes, metabolic syndrome, obesity, and high blood pressure have all been linked to testosterone deficiency. Low testosterone isn't known to cause these health problems, and replacing testosterone isn't the cure. Still, the associations between low testosterone and other medical conditions are interesting and worth a look. Testosterone and Other Conditions Low testosterone often exists with other medical conditions: Depression: In a study of almost 4,000 men older than 70, those with the lowest testosterone levels were more than twice as likely to be depressed. This link remained even after allowing for age, general health, obesity, and other variables. Erectile dysfunction (ED): Problems with erections are one of the most common symptoms of low testosterone. Most ED is caused by atherosclerosis. Men with risk factors for atherosclerosis -- diabetes, metabolic syndrome, or obesity -- often have low testosterone, too. High blood pressure: The effects of testosterone on blood pressure are many and complex. Men with high blood pressure may be almost twice as likely to have low testosterone as men with normal blood pressure. On the other hand, too much testosterone can increase blood pressure. Testosterone acts in multiple ways on blood vessels, so this may account for the varying effects. - 65 yo super ob., fastidious male - 12mm X 13mm rt. a.adnoma with previous rt. flank pain.
