Estrogen as TRT instead of Testosterone

[Guest guest]

I am a 66 year old male that has undergone bilateral orchiectomy (2005). The

only source of T is the bottle or Gel. I have always felt best when not taking

any T injections with the T levels as low as 15. I have gone as long as 18

months off T. My concern is that there is virtually no E2 in the body at those

levels. Will estrogen supplementation without any T in the system alleviate the

problems of hot flushes, osteoporosis, memory issues, etc. I am not suggesting

high levels of E2 but enough to maintain normal levels between 30 and 60.

Anyone have any experience.

Also, would progesterone supplementation help.

Thanks for your response.

Hi jlc9292 and Welcome,

We have men on TRT that had Prostate or Testis Cancer and they are doing great.

I can tell you if your levels of Total Testosterone are 15 ng/dL your dam low

need to be on TRT is your cancer is not active anymore.

You need to run labs see what is going on then post them. There are ways to

bring up E2 levels best to do this by being on TRT. If you were on TRT and did

not feel right it might be the Dr. you were seeing.

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

you need and why.

www.allthingsmale.com

If you can get your Dr. to work with Dr. over the phone he can fix you up

and your Dr. will learn about how to do this on your dime.

Your taking yrs. off the back of your life with them low levels.
