Trimix users: can you still have normal erections?

I just went through the same experience. Spent a week thinking I was chemically castrated for the rest of my life. I’ve never experienced such terror or depression. Men should never take this drug.

Bruised, painful testicle

I have a very painful, bruised testicle. I stopped HCG when this happened about a month ago. Question: should I go back on HCG while recovering from a bruised testicle? Could it possibly help, or hinder recovery?

Testicle implants for atrophied testicles

HCG did not restore size. Testicles small. Drives me nuts. Found two well regarded urologists who will put in implants with atrophied testicles. Has anyone had this done? Any thoughts on this?

Has anyone ever regretted TRT?

My balls shrunk big time and HCG did not restore them. I’m unhappy about this and sometimes wish I had not started for that reason.

Ask The Urologist Anything (Dr Michael Rotman)

Elevated PSA I am 56 years old, on TRT for 9 years. My PSA has always been 2.3 - 2.4. In the last year, it's jumped to 3.6. My urologist wants to do a prostate biopsy which I am not looking forward to at all. Is there any way to lower PSA? I've read that if you do not ejaculate for 48 hours or...

1 Mineral for Everything: Magnesium

I have chronic muscle spasms in my mid/low back. Chiropractor recommends Calm, a magnesium powder taken before bed. He said to increase dose until I get diarrhea, then back off to find the right dose. Any problem with this advice? Can I take this daily?

HCG combined with clomid to restore testicle size

I can't quite decide what days to inject. At every 3.5 days, which days do you inject?

HCG combined with clomid to restore testicle size

Have decided to, at Nelson's recommendation, to up HCG to 500 IUs two times or week. Will not add Clomid. Thx.

HCG combined with clomid to restore testicle size

I am on testosterone gel and HCG. I started the HCG (250 IUs three times per week) several years after starting the t-gel after noticing that my testicles had shrunk significantly. After starting the HCG, my testicles regained only about 30% of their original size. My doctor says I can add...

Tinnitus

I have tinnitus but assumed it was the result of Wellbutrin. Never occurred to me that it could be my TRT regimen - gel and HCG.
