    Soooo confused about what to do about ED

    The Estrogen looks high, but it is not clear to me that you got the sensitive test. The standard test can sometimes give invalid high readings. So you wouldn't want to take an anti E drug based on an inappropriate lab. Aside from that I'd be very concerned about the elevated GGT, creatinine...

    Preservation of sexual function with minimally invasive surgical treatments for BPH

    I appreciate your response. I am nearly in the same position you were before the procedure. The green laser is one of the most effective treatments. Some of the new lower impact procedures sometimes have less side FX but are often not as effective. Tough choices.

    Preservation of sexual function with minimally invasive surgical treatments for BPH

    I would like to have green laser surgery, but when I read the various studies, there's a pretty high amount of retrograde ejaculation. Which I guess might be less messy. But I'm concerned about any potential issues w/ how sex feels afterwards and whether my penis would still funcion the same...

    Finasteride + HRT

    I took finasteride for 15 days while on TRT. I'll never take it again. Fin really took down my sex drive. I could actually see a physical difference in the size of my penis. Worse than that, the symptoms continued for a few months after I quit the stuff.

    The role of androgen therapy in prostate cancer: from TRT to BAT

    You've posted a few prostate cancer(PC)/TRT articles @madman, would you take TRT if you developed prostate cancer? From what I can tell there is a lot of ambiguity around TRT in a PC setting. I'd probably be tempted to argue for taking it despite the PC. Curious if you have thought about it.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
