Know Nothing about Testosterone

No_Prost_55 · Apr 20, 2018

Sorry to "short-cut" reading all the posts here, but I don't know much about Testosterone and get overwhelmed quickly. What I'd like to know is (I had Radical Prostatectomy last June) what are the symptoms of low T? I've had fatigue, depression, less than ideal erections (Viagra worked well prior to RP), etc. for many years prior to my RP. BiMix injections work well for good erections now. I'm 62 years old. I'm not interested in building body mass or anything like that, just would like more energy.

Should I get a blood test through my Urologist or PCP? What is "free Testosterone"? And what is "free T" vs. other types of T? What is T Replacement Therapy (TRT)? What is BPH? Should I try the free bottle of Nugenix or X180 (Walmart) that the ads are offering or are they a waste of time?

Thanks in advance...

Don't waste your money on Nugenx or any supposed OTC Test boosters.
Definitely follow the thread the Vince link above: browse this site, get your labs done, post them here and you can get really good feedback/suggestions.
