testosterone question

[Airton5user Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Airton5user]

About a month or more back I went to a Urologist for the first time to discuss my problem. He had some useful information and I had did some research earlier also. One thing he mentioned that I wanted to check if others have heard similar is about testosterone injection.

According to the urologist, while my testosterone level was in the normal range, it was in the "low"
range of being normal. It was 300 something (330, 350, 380), I forget, which is supposedly normal but in the low end of being normal.
He suggested one possibility was to take testosterone injection (or however it's administered).
The only problem with that, as he described, is that after a while my body would stop making testosterone on it's on so I would be dependent on the injections for the rest of my life. That was a total turnoff. Has anyone else heard similar about this treatment?

Yup, thats how it works. Unless you're really say in the topic, like for example being in the bodybuilding industry for a while, you'll most probably depend on testosterone for the rest of your life.

I would advise you first to try a holistic method, because the cause of your low T levels might very well be severe nutrient deficiency.

Being on the low side of normal is still normal. What issues were you having that made you go see the doc?

That's farthest from the truth! The amount he will put you on will not be enough to shut down your natural test. Now if you were doing a lot every week and never coming off then yes you could run into problem. You could do half a cc a week year round and not run into those problems. And as far as holistic stuff to raise your natural test level, BUNK! And jackx if you were in the bodybuilding industry as you say then you had to have messed with roids yourself and no that is not true. And if you didn't then you didn't go very far in it..

Maybe before we all give answers we can wait and see why he actually needs the stuff and why he went to the docs in the first place?

I agree with you on that 100% he may not even need it..but at the amount he would be doing it wouldn't kill his natural test forever..a lot of men and young guys do roids then most wanna admit today. When I was young there was only a few that did use. Today it seems to be a normal thing..

Ahem natural test increase works . The link I provided is incomplete but lists 100 odd methods . Typically a guy will try 1 natural method if that and throw in the towel and want a pill if it doesn't work quickly.

All the natural stuff out there is garbage and a waste of money.and there really isn't a test pill. It's inject or crappy gel called adrogel. Another bunk product..you wanna take test? Put a needle in your butt,leg or shoulder you don't go to the health food store. You go to the health food store for your stuff like cold press fish oils, vitamins maybe detox stuff but not test building stuff. Evem.most of the weight lifting products that they sell are junk. You really need to know what your buying.

You are right that you need to know what you are buying.
But you are mistaken that you can't build testosterone naturally. There are many medical studies done properly , that prove it..
Many supplements are trash and people that take them with no results believe all are junk. But they are wrong.
If I see " proprietary formula" , it may as well say junk pill. Most of those have such a small dose it would do no good and then the stuff in them is trash.
Can you say "rip off "
But there are great ones. I know of quite a few.

And by good ones do mean move your levels a couple points? Because that's all they will do other wise every bodybuilder and power lifter would be eating them like candy. I'm almost 50 years old and been working out hard and boxing since I was a little kid. And when I say boxing I mean competitive boxing not no class bs. And I've tried all type of supplements and got a lot for free from major distributors and they were garbage..maybe you all know the secret place to buy them that nobody else does. Just maybe you guys get the placebo affect..it's like that guy on here you claims he gained a inch and a half on his calves in 3 month..LMAO.. In possible even with drugs..or that guy that claims hey I bought these pills and grew a 10 inch dick! If there was a natural way to boost your test level everyone and there mother would be eating them like candy..do you guys really think that people like jabbing a needle in there butt? If they didn't have to believe me they wouldnt..

Thanks for the replies, yeah I had gone to see the doctor about my erectile issues. Having problems keeping it up. I posted sporadically here over the past few weeks so not surprised my issue is not recognized. Basically to recap I am having ED problems, went to a urologist, he recommended trying a pump, which I am not sure on.

I posted this earlier but to give a summary of my situation, I have problem maintaining an erection during intercourse. I can get up...sometimes, but it will go down after a few minutes and then you can forget about getting it back up again. I tried Cialis but, while it works great for others, it does not seem to help me. I found some success taking one then taking a second pill 24 hours later. I have a Viagra prescription but as me and my GF recently called it quits I was unable to really test Viagra with her. Have been taking garlic pill supplements since I heard they help blood flow. when I am "solo" can maintain an erection until I come.

but anyway back to the thread I am not sure if I want to go down the route of testosterone treatment. Nothing is wrong with that, and I am sure it helps with other men, but if that's true that I would become dependent on the injections then I am not sure I want to do that. I may eventually.....but I want to see what else I can try first.

Try and do a pe program first bro.and give it a fair chance. If it doesn't work try some test and see if that works and don't be afraid of becoming dependent on it. Because you wont. Test isn't a cure all bro but it does help.are you adhd or A.d.d? The reason I ask is if you are your mind might wonder to were you loose the erection. To much going on..so if you are that might be a reason for what's happening also. I would Def get on a program and concentrate hard at the task at hand.

What is this gibber you tried supplements and that's it ? I am not impressed .
Yes I do think bodybuilders and other roid users like jabing themselves otherwise they would not do it .

Look did anyone read my thread? There are very many methods that have increased test level over 100 points .
It could be as simple as getting more sleep.

Here is a guy who can get an erection solo and has test in the normal range . An increase from 300 to 400 may well be all he needs to get to normal function .
