[QUOTE="madman, post: 112850, member: 13851"] Welcome to excel! Your testosterone levels are definitely low and you would benefit from trt. Just understand that even though testosterone is a natural hormone when one goes on trt and is using exogenous testosterone that even though when used in therapeutic doses to achieve healthy levels in the physiological range that chances of experiencing side effects can still happen as many factors come into play and ones genetics and sensitivity of the AR (androgen receptor) play a big role. As even at therapeutic doses some men can still experience oily skin/acne, accelerated MPB (male pattern baldness in genetically prone individuals), increased water retention (bloat/puffiness), gynecomastia (in genetically prone individuals). Many men can have issues with elevated e2 even when using trt doses as some men are what one would call high aromatizers of T--->e2. Sure aromatase inhibitors can be used when needed to control e2 but many issues can also arise. The majority of side effects one may encounter would be cosmetic aside from a negative effect on ones lipids if high doses are used and of course increased hemoglobin/hematocrit which is a given and will happen when one uses exogenous testosterone. Many men end up having to donate to control hemoglobin/hematocrit.....so although trt when done properly and ones hormones are in a healthy range, it can greatly improve a patients overall well being and relieve/improve symptoms of low testosterone among other overall health benefits! Just understand that it is not as simplistic as raising ones testosterone levels as it can be a bumpy ride along the way.....slow and steady they say! If you live in the Detroit area I would look into Dr. John Crisler for trt. [/QUOTE]
