[QUOTE="madman, post: 130456, member: 13851"] Many can do well on transdermal application and if anything the main drawbacks aside from possible transfer to children or woman if care is not taken after it is applied. Would be absorption issues with use on shoulders/arms/chest/inner thighs for some men as only 9-14% is absorbed so larger volumes of medication applied to a bigger surface areas are required and even than some still have absorption issues. Also achieving high enough levels of testosterone can be difficult for some men! Scrotal application of a testosterone cream would eliminate these issues as not only would one be less prone to possible transfer issues to children or woman but when using the cream scrotally the absorption is 5-8x greater and to top it off one can easily achieve higher testosterone levels using a much smaller volume of cream. Also do understand that the main benefit of using a transdermal over injections is that out of all the trt methods the patches/transdermal are the only forms which most closely mimic the natural endogenous circadian rhythm (24 hr) of a healthy young male as testosterone levels peak in the early am and gradually decline throughout the late afternoon/evening. Even than the patch would take the title! Dr. Crisler prefers transdermal applied once daily due to this reason! When one uses transdermal twice daily (am/pm) whether applied to body (shoulders/arms/chest/inner thighs) or scrotal applied twice daily (am/pm) the benefit of mimicking the natural circadian rhythm is thrown out the window. Sure one may feel twice daily application is superior to once daily application.....but if I were going to switch from injections to transdermal than I would choose once daily application to most closely mimic the natural circadian rhythm. Hell I and many would take a healthy functioning HPTA any day over trt but unfortunately in our situation we do not have that option. [/QUOTE]
