Hello all ! First and foremost just wanted to say thanks to everyone on this forum! I've read and have filled myself with so much knowledge it's amazing what everyone does to help! Anyways im Hunter a 29 year old male looking to get myself back on track. After kidney cancer took my right kidney, chemo, and then all the pain meds my T is just low. I'm cancer free now for over 2 years now. My problem I'm having is different doctors opinions on trt with only one working kidney. Some say it's ok some say it could shut it down completely. This past week I got the kidney will shut down talk but got told I can do high doses of HCG. Ugh idk just looking for some light at the end of the tunnel thanks for reading and thanks in advance for any help!

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.
