    Damn it, why did my gyn insist on an Uber expensive compounded formula? Just spent $166 on 3 months of one-half mg per day, which is a ridiculously low dose.
    I’m following up with a new doc, one from ISSSWS. I’ve had enough of not being heard

    Testosterone is amazing. I had barely detectable T in my blood work and I couldn't function, I couldn't stay awake. My muscle mass was disappearing rapidly too. I will say, I think I still had a pretty good libido even with such low T available in my body.
    20 months later and my level has finally normalized. It took 18 months to get it to a decent level and now I seem to have normalized....Finally.

    Im interested in the role of hormones to balance my adrenal glands after long term prednisone use.

    My post menopausal wife just started T for HSDD. She has zero interest in any intimacy and our marriage is failing. What are the odds of success and how long does it take to feel a difference?

    Just discovered you. Thank you! I'll be 71 this summer, had a complete hysterectomy at 40 (1990). Had at least 15 UTI from the time I was 60. Finally in 2019 was prescribed Vagifem 10mg and not one UTI since then. Have a wonderful relationship but wondering about testosterone for low libido? Is testosterone available as a prescription? Wondering if estrogen cream for the vulva area would help or an increase of Vagifem? Will speak to my GP.

      Testosterone is off label but used for low libido in women a lot. Many papers on this. I have several podcast episodes on Testosterone.

    I'm scared to start testosterone, will it help with anxiety?
    This is one of my biggest symptoms 😢 I'm on 150mcg of estrogen, my estrogen levels are 925 pmol last test, I'm post menopause.

    Doesn’t testosterone also stimulate prostate cancer?

    • @kellycaspersonmd
      @kellycaspersonmd  2 роки тому +1

      Yes and no. It is complicated. There is a nobel prize from the research on it. Some data that men with low T have worse outcomes with prostate cancer.
