Hello doc, I am 28 years old. Male. My test results came back as follows: DHT – 468 pg/ml Testosterone – 523 ng/dl TSH – 1.530 A month later, I got these tests done: Testosterone – 683 ng/dl Estradiol – 33 pg/ml My issue is less facial hair. I have a good mustache and good hair growth on my chin and a thin line along my jawline. But I don’t have hair on my cheeks. The doctor I consulted suggested I go for testosterone injections for a few months or go for a DHT cream. Are my tests alright? Is my estradiol a little high? I am afraid I have started developing small breasts. Also, I feel I get irritated quite easily sometimes and am OK the next moment(Mood Swings). Can high estradiol be the reason for my beard not growing? Please advice. ## Hello, Based ...

I had testosterone pellets inserted in my hip last April, 2012. My tes shot up from 355 to 850 in a couple of weeks. Everything was OK, then about 10 weeks into the program I started having anxiety. I got to the point where it was panic. I have never felt panic to this degree. I went back to my doc and he checked my estrogen and found out it was 3 times higher than when I started the program. He gave me some anastrasole to block the production of estrogen. Once that door was open my anxiety would not go away. I started taking 30 mg of Cymbalta to control my anxiety. Now 4 months later things are starting to level off. Obviously I was disappointed and do not plan on getting the Testosterone Pellets anymore. It seems like I experienced all the negative side effects and none of the positiv...

what is the maximum time of usage the same and when i complete this course. what is the cheapest brand for the same and what company . ## Testosterone is a hormone that is most predominantly present in men and it should be used according to the instructions your doctor gave you, regarding how much to use, how often and for how long. It can vary, depending on the condition being treated, such as if you were lacking in the hormone and how deficient you were. As to the cheapest brand and price, I also don't have information on that, since I don't know where you are located, these details will also vary. Have you tried asking your doctor these same questions? They will best be able to advise you on how long you should use it and a pharmacist/chemist would be able to tell you the che...

what is the real shelf life of testosterone gel in foil packs ## Hi eugene, Information from mims.com indicates that shelf-life for testosterone gel can last 24 months if stored below 25°C. Each sachet of gel also contains the following excipients: Carbomer 980, isopropyl myristate, 96% ethanol, sodium hydroxide and purified water. I don't know however if it being in foil packs alters it's shelf-life in any way. I wouldn't take any chances though if it's past the 24 month mark. More information about Testosterone can be viewed in the link below: I hope this information helps!

My recent blood work revealed an exceptionally high level of testosterone (1600 ng/dl). My doctor's office requested that I call and reveal whether I am supplementing. In fact, I'm not. That is 160% higher than the highest natural level my doctor has encountered. I'm 35yrs old and weigh 150lbs. I was also diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 30. Behaviorally, I fit the general expectation of a male with high testosterone who's conflicted about expressing it. I engage in behaviors that are risky, dominance seeking, and aggressive. I'm easily provoked and prodded. I probably drink more than I should. I self medicate to be more relaxed, but I'm considering seeking therapy. I don't smoke. I also hold a PhD in Biology with a highly competitive resume (CV) but am ...

Estradiol (E2), also spelled oestradiol, is an estrogen steroid hormone and the major female sex hormone. It is involved in the regulation of the estrous and menstrual female reproductive cycles. Estradiol is responsible for the development of female secondary sexual characteristics such as the breasts, widening of the hips and a female-associated pattern of fat distribution. It is also important in the development and maintenance of female reproductive tissues such as the mammary glands, ute...

I've been using Cernos brand 1% testosterone gel for about six months now, and I really do feel like I notice a difference in my overall vigor and well being. My problem now is that my current source has stopped carrying it. I have about two months worth left, but I'm afraid my health will backslide if I don't find a doctor who will prescribe it soon. I appreciate any leads.

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT, 5α-dihydrotestosterone, 5α-DHT, androstanolone or stanolone) is an endogenous androgen sex steroid and hormone. The enzyme 5α-reductase catalyzes the formation of DHT from testosterone in certain tissues including the prostate gland, seminal vesicles, epididymides, skin, hair follicles, liver, and brain. This enzyme mediates reduction of the C4-5 double bond of testosterone. Relative to testosterone, DHT is considerably more potent as an agonist of the...

my doctor is wanting me to start T-therapy because of low T. I am 54 yrs old and am worried because of the recent info and commercials of men having heart attacks or strokes while using testosterone. all the studies are inconclusive but I thought if I could get some feedback from someone or a few people who have been on T therapy for a period of time and have conclusive results it might help me. right now my cholesterol is bad and the doctor says the Testosterone will help get that back to good levels, but the info out there warns that Testosterone can cause cholesterol problems as well as plaque in the arteries.??????? HELLLLPPPPP what is the safest for me???????? ## Hello, Randy! How are you? I understand your concerns, but to be completely honest, there are risks associated with all ...

I went to get a blood test to find out what my T-level was. After about four weeks, the nurse tells me they are normal 3.53 on a level of 1.53-11.00. Can anyone tell me what my total is, because they want me to pay for them to convert it. Oh, I am 35 years old. Thanks! ## @Just in Case, I've never supplemented with testosterone before, but judging from what the nurse told you it sounds like 3.53 would clearly be your total level if I am understanding that right? From my research I know that LabCorp (based in Tulsa, OK) uses a reference range of 348 – 1197 ng/dl (nanograms per deciliter) for determining total testosterone levels. You didn't mention what format (e.g. ng/dl) your numbers are being represented in, but on a scale of 1.53 to 11.00 that sounds very similar with 3...

Can anyone tell me the comparisson of C-Testosterone cream as compared to Testim. I was a Testim user for years, recently due to loosing my med insurance, i was switched to the cream version. ## Based on my research, both medication are indicated to treat the same conditions or symptoms associated with a deficiency or absence of testosterone in males. As far as possible differences go, one of the main underlying factors between most products is probably going to be their list of inactive ingredients. Aside from testosterone (that may be made from soy), Testim contains the following inactive ingredients: purified water, pentadecalactone, carbopol, acrylates, propylene glycol, glycerin, polyethylene glycol, ethanol (74%), and tromethamine. I have yet to find a list for C-Testosterone Crea...

Have any new testosterone replacement products in low dose for women (besides methyl testosterone pills) become available. I'm worried about side effects of methyl testpsterone in pill form. ## Androgel use 25 mg a week you will have a higher libido with no side effects like vocal change or hair growth, etc. I'm a male who knows the benefits of testosterone in females and I'm all for it. ## The side effect risks are the same, whether it is taken orally, or in a gel, or cream. The FDA lists them as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, mood changes, hair growth, and irritability. Has your doctor prescribe it for you? Are you on any other medications?

However, the combination of esterified estrogens + methyltestosterone can be used to treat a variety of symptoms associated with menopause (as a means of hormone replacement therapy).

I am new to Axiron and after doing some research I still can't find if Axiron suppresses natural Testosterone production. Does anyone have any information on this? ## The synthetics don't usually suppress production of the naturals, but rather they tend to take over the receptor points, so your natural hormones just don't get used, when you're taking them. Learn more Axiron details here. If you're not producing enough naturally, then it's really not going to matter, since you have to add more in some manner. Is this helping you? ## That does help but I guess I need to explain my full problem. I was afraid to cause I'm looking for help, not a beating. For the past 6 years I've been taking a substance for Bodybuilding that has shut my production down. Withi...
