Avatar m tn Today options for treatment include topical testosterone gels and creams, short and long acting injections of testosterone esters, application of testosterone through skin patches, subcutaneous testosterone implants, and oral testosterone capsules. The injection is given deep intra-muscular and is quite often painful.
Avatar m tn Hi Bec , look both men and women have testosterone, and I think you will find that if he is useing gel then its quite possible that he is useing it on his p***s, so unless you've been touching that you should be OK, like did google it, and yes they do say prenant women should not be useing it, but if you google testosterone gel and women you get a differant results, so the picture gets even more confusing. But just shaking hands your safe.
1139187 tn?1355706647 For a short time I was on 5 actuations due to complaint of tiredness and low libido, but the blood level got too high, so I went back to 4 and everything seems fine. Previous to the gel, I was on the patch which I actually liked better despite the irritation around the application site. It posed less of a risk of transfer to wife and kids. My endo said he had better results with his patients with the gel and that is why I was switched.

Avatar m tn See your doctor. Your doctor can prescribe testosterone gel for you. The gel comes in measured doses that you rub on to your body (not the genitals). I am not sure if the testosterone has anything to do with the sperm count. You need to discuss your options with your doctor.
Avatar m tn Hello. I'm a 39 y/o male with lost testosterone. I had some bloodwork done which revealed this and symptoms of low sex drive, fatigue, etc. My doctor put me on Android 20mg/day. I don't have insurance so I'm paying $650/mo for these pills. I was wondering if a comparable dosage in gel or injection form would be cheaper than the pills... Any help would be appreciated!
110491 tn?1274481937 This whole hormone thing is so confusing. I do know that since I've been on the estrogen gel (2 weeks), I feel 100% better. Its amazing that 1mg of gel can change a persons life so much. I think I would benefit from having a tiny bit of testosterone to increase energy levels and sex drive, but am just relieved that I finally can see the path forward, after the total shock of surgical menopause.
Avatar f tn Thanks for the info. I think that was the study I had come across. I was just wondering since ED was often a symptom of MS I was wondering is the testosterone gel would help. We haven't had his levels checked but the gel would have less side effects than drugs like cialis etc. And thanks to everyone else who responded. I appreciate all the info and support.
Avatar n tn The primary treatment for low testosterone is testosterone supplement. Testosterone replacement therapy may be in the form of skin gel, injections, long acting pellets, patches or oral inserts. Clomid is not the primary treatment mode for testosterone deficiency. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor.
Avatar f tn I have low normal testosterone,on testosterone gel. plus a cyst on the left testical that causes pain when I sit or some position when I sleep. I also have a lower left abdominal pain that comes and goes, but I can feel like there is something wrong in my abdominal.
Avatar f tn JNR, I had my prostate removed on 5th May 09 because of prostate cancer. I stopped using testosterone gel then, I'm now 60 yo and do not have the energy like before but am wondering if you (or anyone) got any answers about the safety issue of restarting the T gel. Please answer direct to me on ***@**** any help is appreciated.
Avatar m tn I personally think the whole testosterone treatment is a scam. Nobody tested me for free and albumin bound testosterone, the biologically active forms. Total testosterone is useless. This is like measuring total cholesterol without the HDL and LDL fractions. The primary practice docs are totally clueless. I would recommend talking to a good endocrinologist only.
919239 tn?1269394658 I found that I still had no energy,no drive,depressed, just no zest for life. I finally had my testosterone checked (2 times) My total testosterone level was 195 & 203. Both low levels for a 54 yr. old male. I just started taking testosterone injections once per week in the last 2 weeks (2 injections-1 ml) I understand it usually takes up to 5 weeks for the full benefits. I was wondering if any one else found this method helpful?
1139187 tn?1355706647 Hello, Androgel contains testosterone gel can be used for testosterone replacement but should be sued with caution because it has plenty of side effects. It may cause skin irritation, blisters on skin, problems with urination, nausea, stomach pain, low fever, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice and swelling of ankles. Hence use it only under a medical supervision. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Avatar f tn Im worried about transfer from my partner he has to use testosterone gel
Avatar m tn A few days ago I noticed my scrotum and penis were getting dry and wrinkled and now the skin has started to peel, I cannot pull back my foreskin very far anymore and my scrotum is strangely red and shiny. I have recentley started using a new shower gel which could be the problem but I have stopped using that shower gel but it has gotten worse, does anyone think they know what the problem is and how I can stop it from getting worse?
Avatar m tn I have been ot Testosterone gel for 2 weeks and so far i don't feel any better i was wondering if anybody has had a good result on Testosterone therapy and if you have any advice?
694895 tn?1263662430 My last episode began in the fall of 2006 and, in spite of numerous antidepressants, my symptoms perstied. I finally asked my Family physician to check my testosterone level. The result was 80...At my age, it should be close to 350. It is possible that low T is responsible for the severity and long duration of this episode. The Rx prescribed is Androgel...but at $250 an Rx I am unable to have it filled...I have no insurance and not enough money to start the treatment...
Avatar f tn Where can I find the latest medical advice on using Testosterone gel 13 years after prostate removal? Removed because of cancer. Doctor keeps saying that Testosterone Therapy is not proper for patients who have had prostate cancer. I feel like my energy battery is just about depleated and seem to have all of the symptoms for need of T Therapy. Is there any good medical research that I can use to further discuss with Primary Care MD?
Avatar n tn I had a hormone test and my Testostrone levels were Testosterone 393 ng/DL and my Prolactin 354. My doctor prescribed Testosterone shots ever 40 days. After the first two injections I felt a difference in my libido.... But there is a problem, every time I get a shot I start to feel extremely weak and develop a fever that lasts for days or even a week. I get chills and feel awfully down. Also my bottom muscles feel stiff as a rock 12 hours after each injection.

Avatar m tn Will testosterone increase penis size? Has Extenze had any benefits on penis size? Does Nitric oxide increase penis and will it remain permanent?
650419 tn?1281359937 Gojo im a 45 yr ole man who because of a severe trauma accident had to do testosterone treatment also. I started with the gel, but my level barley rose. So for about 6 months now i take the shots, which also had to be increased because follow up blood test showed an actual drop , so its crazy. But i do find i have more energy and sexual desires with the shots. As for as sleeping ,that really isnt my problem. So o can't tell you much expect id try the shots if i were you.
Avatar n tn Hi, I ended up inserting some of an alcohol-based gel into my urethra 3 days ago. I have been using Azo for the pain, which is helping some, but I am surprised at how little the symptoms are abating. Could it be that this will take a while to heal? Could this have caused some kind of permanent damage?
689860 tn?1238718032 I found out today mt testosterone was 216. HOLY COW ! I had asled my doctor before the results if cialis will help in getting an erection again and she said let's get blood work. What are my options now? I don't want my marriage to suffer.
Avatar m tn Hello, You can consult a urologist and get prescribed testosterone replacement therapy. Testosterone replacement therapy can be prescribed as an intramuscular injection usually given on a biweekly basis, as a patch or gel placed on the skin, or as putty that is applied to the gums of the mouth. Please do not try test freak as it is not without side effects. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
