I'm currently a 49-year-old male who is been diagnosed with low testosterone ,  I currently take warfarin because I have factor five Leiden, have been dose stable for 8 years 7.5 mg ave per days 30 days, 5 mg daily with 1/2 of 5 mg every other day (pt/inr 2.4) this is tested at home and at dr office, I have been through 7 physicians and endocrinologists.  All have remove me from their patient group because they feel issuing testosterone for treatment  (255 (bottom 5 %) tested 6 days ago), is too risky stating lack of research on  therapeutic warfarin patients.  all of the research that I am able to find via the Internet and medical journals shows that testosterone therapy increases hypercoagulability with warfarin patients ,  which would indicate a lower level of warfarin needed should testosterone therapy be started  to remain therapeutic ,  I have lived with this condition now for eight years I have a very good understanding of warfarin therapy along with my condition. I'm currently  fighting an uphill battle to find a physician that is willing to treat the condition, thyroid has been tested and ruled out , tumor ruled out, enlarged prostate has been ruled out . Looking for help for a better quality of life not only for myself but my wife.  Symptoms of low testosterone started showing up approximately six years ago they involved night sweats, lack of motivation , lack of sexual drive , muscle loss , slowed hair growth, Excessive weight gain (cortisol levels are at the high-end of the gray area) I also take lisinopril 20/12.5  for elevated blood pressure which started a year after warfarin therapy ,  A1 C levels also show elevated approximately one year after starting warfarin therapy, D3 deficiency also started one year after warfarin therapy.

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.
