[QUOTE="Eunuch-man, post: 243169, member: 39020"] I was born with my right testicle undescended and it was lowered at about age 5. At 29, in 2006, it turned into a cancerous mass. Stage 1. Had an orchiectomy and 5 weeks of radiation to kill remaining cancerous cells. Shortly after I went from weighing 220 lbs to close to 400 lbs within 2 years. After a short conversation with my urologist in 2009, he diagnosed me with a prolactinoma tumor in the pituitary gland and it was giant. The size of a walnut. Endocrinologist put me on cabergoline to shrink it and to have surgery to remove it. It shrank to a very tiny size in about 2 years. No need for surgery. In 2010 I started TRT replacement therapy. But because it was government care it was very limited care and it wasn't in their community to use anything else other than testosterone cypionate or Androgel. By 2013 I had lost almost 150 lbs. But unfortunately my remaining left testicle had atrophied and upon recommendation of my urologist I had a second orchiectomy since I was already on TRT for the rest of my life. That was a mind fuck. After all I had already endured. I did have saline testicular implants placed in my empty scrotum to look "normal." Very happy with the results. Went through a rollercoaster of trials and tribulations on testosterone cypionate injections, dosage and frequency changes as well as on Androgel. All the red tape to have the TRT replacement therapy was mind boggling. I assume that the lack of testicles plays a huge part for my very low ejaculate volume. I've tried all of the hetbal supplements I investigated and learned about. Ashwanda, Tribulus, Horny Goat, Red Ginseng, Saw Palmetto, Zinc and so on. Nothing worked. I am now on a cheap gel and I have great insurance through work. I am at pre-diabetic A1C and had a gastric bypass 3 months ago. So far down 53 lbs. 75 lbs more to go. Erections are ok since I'm on Cialis. Libido is low. Not enough energyto workout since the energy I do have is used at a very fast paced job. I'm looking to add anything that will supplement or add what I'm lacking and will be of benefit other than gel alone. Starting walking as excercise as much as I can tolerate since I have arthritis on the left knee. I want to start working out again and wish I had the energy. I am now on: 2 pumps of gel daily (20.25 mg) 500mg Metformin 2 tablets daily Cialis 5mg once daily Multivitamin daily Iron Zinc Vitamin D Vitamin B12 Thank you kindly for reading. [/QUOTE]
