TRT, Therapeutic Phlebotomy, Low Ferritin, and Iron Replacement
I have been taking Losartan for high BP for many years now, prior to starting TRT, but I appreciate the info. I wonder how high my hematocrit would be if I wasn't taking it. Do you agree that an iron supplement is needed, in order to normalize my low ferritin? I have a diet that is low fat, but...- DMc79

TRT, Therapeutic Phlebotomy, Low Ferritin, and Iron Replacement
My T was over 1500 three months after I started injecting. I thought about sex constantly, had spontaneous erections at age 56, and had severe mood swings. Lowering the dosage helped solve those issues. Do you have hematocrit tested, to determine when you should donate again? How high do you...- DMc79

TRT, Therapeutic Phlebotomy, Low Ferritin, and Iron Replacement
What are "E2 levels" ? Do you think I should see an Endocrinologist, rather than a different GP? If I'm injecting 0.7ml every ten days, does it make sense to inject one-half of that every five days? I thought the idea of stopping the TRT was loopy, thanks for the guidance.- DMc79

TRT, Therapeutic Phlebotomy, Low Ferritin, and Iron Replacement
I'm 59 years old and have been on TRT since 6/12. In the fall of 2012 excessively high testosterone levels forced us to lower the injection amount from 1.0ml to 0.7ml and decrease the injection interval from 14 days to 10 days. That lowered mid-cycle testosterone to 650-675 ng/dL, where it has...- DMc79

Urology Consult Needed?
Follow-Up Comments Had the DRE done today. Doctor thought the prostate felt enlarged, but did not detect anything that felt abnormal/cancerous. She thought a PSA re-test was unnecessary at this point in time. She agreed to a 6 month PSA test, as my PSA velocity implies I could be over 4.00 in...- DMc79

Urology Consult Needed?
Two of the past three years my PSA number has doubled. I don't see that as a "somewhat" rise. If it doubles again next year, I'm at 4.64 and that is outside the normal range. I read that over 20% of all men have prostate cancer with a PSA number >2.40. At my insistence, my GP will perform a DRE...- DMc79

Urology Consult Needed?
In June of 2012 I started TRT. My T level, prior to TRT was in the 125ng/DL-250ng/DL range. Prior to TRT I suffered from ED, low libido, loss of pubic hair, low energy, and had trouble focusing at work. All of these symptoms disappeared after starting TRT. After several months of yo-yo T...- DMc79
