Same. When I was told I had hypogonadism and typical therapy’s weren’t working they wanted to put me on an aggressive testosterone therapy. The issue they said was it could oddly enough lead to fertility issues due to yes it will produce testosterone to get you chemically back in place hopefully. But your body won’t be making it on its own and likely will need to be a long term thing due to eventually your body permanently ceases to make its own. So going off it, would result in plummeting of male hormones.
I dismissed the option as it felt like a catch 22 I wasn’t a fan of risking. And we were trying for pregnancy and didn’t want to risk it.
I took stinging nettle regularly which is shown to increase free testosterone. And haven’t taken it in a month when I ran out as I was taking ashwaghanda and another supplement for testosterone and things seemed to be ok without the nettle. But maybe this is a result of free t eventually reaching a low level again? Bought some more to check if things go back to normal so we’ll see.
It seems things are kicking in earlier than ever for my generation regarding low t and hormonal issues. When I saw a urologist last year for similar issues. He assured me he knows it’s not great to be dealing with these things. But assured me men in there early 30s are experiencing ED and other hormonal issues such as gynecomastia more than ever due to foods, air etc that we don’t realize is handicapping our hormones more than ever.
