Low testosterone levels?!
Question: Low testosterone levels!?
Has anyone ever been in such a dillema!? I have recently taken a blood test to determine my levels, and was given results that showed my levels were very low!. Anyone else experienced low levels of T !? what symptoms did you experience!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
I had the test, and my levels were 40 percent below normal!.
Besides having next to no sex drive (which I hated!), I:
- couldn't concentrate,
- had a tendency to fall asleep (especially after eating),
- gained weight,
- had a tendency towards small, hairline bone fractures (chronically low testosterone in men can cause osteoporosis),
- had little physical strength,
- male breasts, and
- felt VERY sluggish!.
I get a testosterone shot once every two weeks, and it has absolutely CHANGED MY LIFE!. I've gone from not having sex at all to having sex several times a week (and loving it!), my bones are much stronger, I have much more effective workouts at the fitness center, my chest is much more defined and "man-like", and I can add large columns of numbers or multiply several digits by several digits in my head (which is something I always prided myself on being able to do, but had lost the ability to do)!.
One word of caution: when you start getting your first testosterone shots, you'll probably have hot flashes!. You'll know when you get them because you'll feel like you're standing in front of a blast furnace, suddenly you'll be dripping sweat, and if you're in the supermarket you may find yourself opening the freezer doors and looking inside the shelves so you can cool off!Www@Answer-Health@Com

ALSO WONDERING
I think I have low testosterone levels!. My voice has squeaked for a good year now!. I don't have a huge sex drive and I don't lust after women nearly as much as my other teen friends!. I'm only 17 though!. So idk!.
I'm not really reserved, I just don't feel very girl crazy like all my other male friends!. I definitely prefer women though!. This also could be because I've never dated and been in long term relationships!. I think I've tamed myself to this level, and I don't want to be like this!. I'd rather be girl crazy so I can feel normal, but my body doesn't let me =\ How much is it usually to get tested!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm older!. As we age it tends to drop and make us tired and forgetful!.
Did your doc measure your estrogen and estradiol levels as well!? MDs tend not to, but naturopaths will do that!. Getting everything balanced out is important because they all effect each other!. It's part of 'anti-aging' medicine for naturopaths!.
I use a testosterone cream from a compounding pharmacy every day, and a nettle/crysin pill!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
