ok, now list the possible chances of developing things like prostate cancer from test treatment..?

it's a lose, lose situation.  Personally, i would not go on test treatement.  i know somebody in real life who opted out after being on it for a month.

i'm sure he had more problems with it than this.. but his main reason was the ups/downs that came in between injections.  he went on numerous dosing schedules also, and the same thing pretty much happend at different intervals each time



I can say categorically that there is no link between prostate cancer and adequate testosterone replacement.

Very old reseach has indicated anything like this has long since been debunked.

The only issue for testosterone therapy is that it should not be used in men that already have prostate cancer.

Interestingly because of this fact all men on TRT actually have regular PSA and DRE examinations of the prostate and it has been argued are actually more likely to have prostate cancer diagnosed early should they be unfortunate to develop it than men not on TRT who are not so fortunate to have such regular testing.

Earlier diagnosis of prostate cancer is crucial in fighting and surviving the disease.  So If anything it can be said that men on TRT are in a far better position regarding this threat to all men.

Regarding the individual you mention, I cannot comment because I have been given no details whatsoever as to his symptoms, blood results and TRT protocol.

What I will say is this;

You know one man who decided rightly or wrongly to come off TRT, I know hundreds of men who have chosen the reverse and have found a quality of life on trt that they had not previously experienced and It has to be said that this finding is the common finding within the medical profession.

Your experience and knowledge of hypogonadism, hypogonadal men and its treatments are vastly inferior to mine given I have the condition, am treated for the condition, have seen some of the worlds experts regarding the condition, have read exhaustively about the medical realities of the condition, have seen hundreds of patient pathology results and have shared the experiences of not one but hundreds of fellow sufferers for a number of years.
