I had Rezum also , was peeing too often and small amounts ie 50ml-125ml, had Rezum now I pee around 200-250ml and dont go nearly a soften, no sides at all except less cum for some reason?. I am glad I had it done, other surgeries be careful some are like taking a chainsaw to the prostrate
you could always get a MRI scan which many say is better than PSA tests, my PSA at age 66 is up around 4.6 but a MRI scan showed last time it was just BPH. TRT seems to increase my PSA
yes, I injct 40mg/week cyp with daily subq, I also apply testogel 9am, 2pm 7,pm to give me the equivelent of 70mg per week of injectable. Its a very unusual regime but the only one I can get to work so far
I applied gel for 15 years to shoulders a and arms, DHT mid range T up near max, I suspect its the scrotum application and maybe inner thighs that jacks up the DHT , defo the scrotum
Dr Hertoghe reckons applying cream to hairy parts gives more DHT, he rubs it on his forehead and neck, a bit weird, I tried that and no absorption.
maybe keep away from the crotch area, I do shoulders and biceps, DHT 65% up range.
I’ve never heard that Ft3 is less accurate than TSH, I think this is likely BS, TSH is only rough guide and Ft3 is the player followed by Ft4, that’s my view having been on throid meds and seen many experts over 15+ years
Within range doesn’t mean much, optimum is better, 3 to 3.7 is a bit different to the 8.5 you mentioned initially. Covid may have clouded the issue, 25 is young to start meds so maybe wise to be looking at finding the root cause.
It’s clear from these labs you are hypothyroid, TSH should be under 2 if no meds and FreeT 3 should be upper quartile. I have seen several thyroid docs and they all say throid needs to be good for libido. So if reluctant to
jump on TRT you could optimise thyroid first .

interesting article, venisecting lowers MCV, if MCV is too low it might be from over venisecting. I have polycythaemia Vera and venisected to control it for 7 years, MCV went down to 56 , not advisable. If venisecting a lot with TRT it’s maybe a good idea to keep an eye on MCV, with...
If saturation dose is 100mcg, does that mean per day or is it per shot, ie is it beneficial to do say 100 in morning ,100 at 5 hours later and another 100 another 5 hours later, ie 300 per day.
Best to google it, no long term probs, no impotence or retro ejac, day patient procedure , catheter for a week which is unpleasant, no bike riding 6 weeks, urine volume about double what I was pre op but it was bad pre op, it’s the least invasive op for BPH
I would defo try daily subc, I am on it and have been up to much higher than 100mg and no Hct or Hgb issues, AND I have polycythaemia vera, no E2 issues either as far as I know except we dont have the sensitive E test for males here so oestradoil only
I manage BPH by getting Rezum steam treatment about 18 months ago, I tried full dose Cyp and no gel but felt hypogonadal, posted on here about this before and spoke to many experts, its just a minority on here that need some gel so dont worry about it , it prob wont be a issue for you
like someone else said 80mg is lowish dose so you might not get any neg sides and you may feel better eg less anxious, you could always try it , I am on 30mg Cyp and 70 Androgel, none of the probs you mentioned except BPH but its the DHT from the Androgel causing BPH mainly
