Re: Vasectomy - low testosterone link

[Guest guest]

Hi the69cat and Welcome,

I don't feel your problem is from your Vasectomy if it were to be the problem

you would have had low T levels in the first yr. after it.

If your Dr. has not put you on TRT you need to find out why your low first

before treating this if you go on TRT is will shut you down from making your own

Testosterone and it will be dam hard to figure out why your low. In some cases

if your figure out why your low and fix it your levels can come back up.

I do know of a man that ended up with low T after a Vasectomy he posted at WebMD

about 15 yrs ago the the URO Dr. this Dr. told him there is a rare Infection one

can get from having a Vasectomy and he needs a special test to tell if he has

this and it will take a special med to fix it. He had this infection and got it

fix and his levels came back up.

Go to Dr. 's site and read TRT: A Recipe for Success in this are labs you

need and why do them try to find out why your low if it can be fixed your levels

might go back up and you will not need TRT.

In this link are some things that cause low T in men.

Here is a cut and paste.

===================================================

According to the Great Smokies Diagnostic Lab, these are the causes of

hypogonadism:

chronic/systemic illness

surgery

chemotherapy

infections

premature aging

testicular trauma

stress

Kleinfelter's syndrome

autoimmune damage

tobacco and alcohol

sleep apnea

excessive heat

obesity

hypercortisolism

medications

hyperthyroidism

malnutrition

?Subtle clinical signs of hypogonadism may include slight gynecomastia

and soft small testes. However, researchers have noted that " the

findings of physical examination in men with adult-onset hypogonadism

are often normal.?

Secondary hypogonadism can develop as a result of hypothalamic or

pituitary disease, obesity, hypothyroidism or other causes. Some

conditions, such as hypercortisolemia, AIDS and severe systemic

illnesses, can trigger hypogonadism through a combination of both

primary and secondary mechanisms.?

treated.

Get a copy of the labs your Dr. did and post them with this thread with the

units and ranges.
