Guest guest Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Dear all, My husband is 37 years old. we have two children. we know that he suffered hypogonadism since about one year ago, after he took some lab test due to sleep difficulties and seksual disfunction. his testosterone level is about 200. we had tried tostrex gel but we thought there were no better change. he still has difficulties to sleep.so we stop it. i feel there are changes in him now, his skin is smoother, and he has hair loss. i am worried about him. its hard to ask him to go to the doctor. please answer my question: 1. is it posible that my husband in a 'danger'? (or something like that?) 2. if he doesn't take ART, what is the worst that can happen to him? because he often refuse to take any medication 3. we haven't had sexual intercourse for about two year? is it always like that for hypogonadism? or maybe he doesn't want to? thank you for your attention i really appreciate your answer.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Here is a link full of info about this problem how you get it what it dose and how to fix it. http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=450553 As for your questions. 1.) Yes over time it can shorten his life. 2.)Over time he will get worse I go so bad I could not get out of bed to go to work. 3.)Wow no sex for 2 yrs. What dose he say or don't you complain about this. Low T and high Estradiol will kill a mans sex life or libido. They can't keep it up for sex and try to hide it. Going on TRT and getting his Estradiol levels down will give him back his sex life. For most men this is the first thing to go loss of sex life. I must tell you there are other ways to have sex with each other when a man has ED he can still reach an orgasm by masturbating. My wife and I would do this together. It helps when things don't work but to not be with each other for sex of any kind for 2 yrs. Your going to have a job of it getting back in the grove. It might help if he goes on shots you only need them once a week so you can learn how to give them to him this way he will not forget about doing them.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Since you have your E2 basically under control, have you had the PSA blood test lately? It's unbelievable how in the dark doctors are now days about so many things. Good doctors are far and few between. When I had my cancer, I was very niave about doctors. I never really needed doctors so I didn't know how to handle them and trusted them. I could have faired much better if I had a better uro then. The follow up after surgery was almost nonexistent. The tip off should have been when he told me he had only seen one other guy with testicular cancer before me. > > > > > > Prior to me being diagnosed with low testosterone, I > > too had difficulty getting an erection, I was putting on > > body fat around the middle, losing muscle tone, and mood > > swings like a women going thorugh menopause.
