    Doxazosin and Testosterone

    Just started 1 mg Doxazosin for mild BPH, directed to use 2 mg if I so choose. It not only works on the prostate, but allows more blood flow to penis, IMO, which is cool. My question: I saw a study online that suggested Doxazosin may lower serum testosterone levels in rats. Don't want that...

    Anesthesia and Testosterone

    Hi all I recently had to undergo an appendectomy and just a few days after, I started feeling really anxious...a little down...not as sexual. Assumed this might be normal, but then started wondering if the anesthesia specifically messed with my test/hormone levels. Thoughts? Thanks. Kaes

    Kidney stones and Flomax

    Vince and Mooseman, thanks for the input. Helpful and interesting. I have not heard of the studies you mention, Vince, but I do take magnesium pretty regularly. I guess I should throw B6 back into the mix. I used to take it religiously. Again, thanks, guys.

    Kidney stones and Flomax

    Over the years, I've heard people complain of libido and ejaculatory issues, which I understand are no big deal in the short run, but I wondered if perhaps there were long-term effects of using this particular drug. Thanks.

DHT

Free Testosterone

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