Long term health risks of trt?

Mr. Micropenis
If you have been on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for an extended period of time (5 years or more) have you had medical problems associated with the use of testosterone cypionate?
 
I asked a similar question last week. Had someone post back that they have been on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for over 10 years and love it.
 
I would think testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) patients are well monitered by their endos so nothing too crazy would happen. I mean if you're just bringing test levels back to normal and not supra physiological levels....
 
That depends on the testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) doc you use. I am currently restarting from a 4 month testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). They gave me a free blood test. Doc said at 28 my levels should be much higher than 560. They started me at 200mg a week and bumped me up to 240mg. With the HCG my levels were around 1800. I felt great. Only problem with it is the cost. I found a urologist that said he would keep me at 900 and I should be able to get it covered by insurance. I've had a bbuilder tell me hes been on for 20 years and are in greàt health. I have a lot of low t symptoms from natural levels so I am trying to figure out if I am ready to stay on. I know another person who told me his gp gave him a cyp script and told him to cycle it. So every thing I am discussing here is legal for me to do. Thanks for the info. Looking forward to hearing from more people

Careful of that trap!
I was in the exact same position...
I had 582 ng/dl at 29 and a testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) doc told me the same thing...
HCG was not raising my T anymore at that time....
I was pretty much the same (Total T wise) with it or without it..
Actually had 520 ng/dl with 350 i.u. HCG 3 times a week and 0.25 ADEX EOD...
Had 582 ng/dl T.T. with just ADEX E3D...
I doubt I would have gone to a testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) clinic if I knew I had sleep apnea....
It was my underlying cause...it was very severe.
I was on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and had it and never knew and still felt like crap.
560 T.T. with no sleep apnea would be great if I could get those levels back.
You have to look for ALL underlying causes before committing to a life time of injections....
What therapy had your T.T. at 1800 ??? HCG only or HCG with T ?
1800 is way too much!

Was 560 your natural test level or was that while you were injecting testosterone?

You would have to use t to get the levels as high as that. It basically amounted to a 4 month cycle. Most people who cycle use atleast double that and there levels are astronomical. What is your level now? How did you feel with you TT at 560?

I would never have done testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) if my levels were starting at 560 at your age.

I am assuming your levels were lower. It depends on the person what levels will manifest symptoms. I was in a few car accidents in a short period of time. I actually had all the symptoms and was getting the run around from average doctors. The therapy made me feel 100% better. What was your levels and how did you feel. The quality of like is what I care about. If I can't function optimaly my life is shit.

I agree. I wouldn't t have done testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) if I was at 600 natty. That's right where you should be for natty T.

I have much more respect for the way you worded your post. However, I must disagree. My levels were high until the car accidents that damaged my pituitarty. This left me with a whole host of problems. Also, I have buddies that are 30 years old with 800 naturals levels. So according to your statement these people should look in to a way to reduce their test. Again the title of this thread is Long term health risk of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). It is not titled "can all the people that excessively post on this forum tell me if I should use some cypionate" Hopefully you both will understand how off base you were in making those comments. I hope you will use this opportunity to educate yourself some more on this topic. I don't know everything but I know what I say is accurate.

I am curious to what makes you an expert on the levels of androgens a individual needs to funtion properly. I am willing to bet you don't have a medical degree. I suggest before you start calling people names you do a little more research into what levels people should supposedly have and how different people react to different levels. Please do not come in my thread with a stupid statement like the one above. This threat is not titled does 3j think I should of taken some test. I must regress. I feel sorry for your ignorance.

You're not going to get the answers you're looking for talking to moderators that way.
 
OP, but you are an arrogant cunt. These people are making genuine enquiries about your situation with the limited information you've provided so that they can HELP YOU. Yet, you choose to shoot them down.
 
listen here you cunt... what makes you think i dont have a degree?? do you know anything about me??

when i made that statement it was more towards the irresponsible retard of a doc who put you on trt... but since you decided to talk like a dumb shit jackass i think i'd rather give you a time out... learn how to speak to moderators dipshit
