Do you think TRT is healthy?

[Yamcha]

I'm weary of pill form fish oils and shit like that. What kind of shelf life can that shit possibly have where you're not doing more harm than good? And if the fish oil is coming from China, fuck no. Most of the Country is contaminated...

This stuff is good, IMO

Did you notice any changes to general wellbeing when you added HCG?

Yup. It's great.

I noticed last time I gave blood they now have a check box to state if you're on TRT.  I guess it must be super popular now that they need to start asking this question.

As for worrying about health.  It's probably healthier than drinking tap or bottled water, healthier than most fruits and veggies and healthier than driving.

Last time I tried TRT my blood (hematocrit) went so high, I had to donate blood once every month!  I was like in stroke territory.  I think my HCT was around 17.  Anyway, I quit.  I feel fine now.  I no longer have to masterbate constantly.

Could it be that I need to up the dose?

If you take Proscar to control sides, they won't use your blood for transfusions.  The reason is that it would have negative effects on a pregnant woman.  and you have to get a prescription for a therapeutic phlebotomy...

Healthy?  No.  But who cares, feel fantastic and look fantastic on!


Here is where there is no evidence.  They say low test causes health problems,,, there is no evidence of this other than making you tired and in a slightly depressed mood.

I believe being fat and out of shape causes low test.   Measure test of fat sedentary people and they have low test.  Then the statisticians claim " low test is associated with poor health". There is no evidence it causes it!

While you make some interesting points, there is also no evidence that proves you right. To be honest it is a "which comes first, the chicken or the egg" kind of argument.

Not all folks on TRT are using it to combat the ravages of getting old. Some of us have hypogonadism. This describes me. I have one functioning testicle as a result of having had the mumps during puberty. Doctors identified this as a problem a very long time ago, when I was still in my teens and prescribed TRT to counter it.

Without doubt there are folks who do not need TRT, but are on it. I am not sure how much money and profits play a part. Legally prescribed testosterone in not very expensive. At this point I see my urologist once a year. This is not more frequent than someone my age would.
