Low t and hematuria- high protien in urine

[Guest guest]

Phil or anybody else- I have been on androgel and hcg for about 8 or 9 years. I

turn 44 this Monday. My low t is secondary and idiopathic. I have had blood in

the urine for about 2 years (started out as visible and now is microscopic.)

I've done ultrasounds, the test with the camera in the peter (horrible...request

a higher dose of valium if asked to do this) and Cat scans with dye and x-rays.

General sent me to urologist, again, and now going to see a nephrologist. I'm

assuming this is seperate from my low t and treatments- but all the docs seem

scared of my HRT. Anybody ever heard of complications w the kidneys as a result

of low t or HRT?

With HRT, I learned quickly that I am in charge of my care and some of these

docs have to be not only educated but put in their place. I'm failing to find

much on the web drawing a correlation with low t, hrt and kidney problems.

Urologist says it's my kidneys and that I have too much protien and red blood

cells in my urine. Your comments are appreciated.

For me it was one bladder infection after the other blood in my urine and every

test one could think of. After 15 yrs of this crap I read about men on TRT and

high levels of Estradiol E2 mine was way up there and it was causing me all

kinds of problems slow voiding, ED, rashes, Panic Attacks and so on. We never

knew it was high E2 levels and getting them down all of this went away. Get

your Estradiol Tested here are the labs I do every 8 weeks they are the best

ones to do.

At Quest labs.
