Guest guest Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 When an Endo says he is secondary and ordered them tests he is up on this and a good Dr. but he might not be up on high Estradiol levels in men. One needs this tested before going on TRT if the Dr. will not test this buy it your self go to this link and call them but tell them you want the Estradiol Sensitive test for men from Labcorp. I think the cost is $40 to $50. One of the guys posted other labs that do this read back today and yesterday to find it. If his levels are very high over 30 pg/ml best at 20 get this down taking Arimidex .25 to .5 mgs every other day use the .25 mgs or 1/4 of a pill if his Estradiol is less then 50 over 50 use the 1/2 .5 mgs pill. If you can't get this Dr. to give him this then get some Indolplex/DIM it's a supplement SOC. Get this brand I know it works. http://www.iherb.com/Enzymatic-Therapy-Pure-Rip-with-DIM-60-Tablets/12814?at=0 Take one tablet at dinner time it will take a longer time on this to get the levels down but I feel it's better to come down slow this way you don't go to low. He will get some strong night time and morning wood when his levels come down this means he is at his best levels later if his wood stops he is going to low. Just stop taking in until the wood comes back that day go back on it but cut the tab in half.

Depending on the factors as age, >30 then more likely lean towards TRT. As I have found that even with optimal T and e2 levels they still do not feel well. It is not until the cause or imbalance is found and addressed untill they start to feel well. It could be heavy metals to simple food allergies as cause to low T. I have seen it happen and even resolved both cases. End: TRT may be a temporary solution to a long term problem and to exhaust all possibilities before committing.
