Testosterone and Blood Clots - Dr. Glueck's Current Thoughts and My Case

[Robert Burr]

I have read the entire thread Nelson started detailing Dr. Glueck's position on TRT and blood clots, and still am very confused.

According to Dr Glueck, if you're on Eliquis you should not continue TRT therapy. Has his position changed at all? If anyone knows? I stopped cold turkey after a 6 inch clot was found in my femoral artery in my right groin area. My cardiovascular Doctor suggested I stay on eliquis for the rest of my life because this is clot # 2. The first one was in my right arm triggered by an IV and I was never on TRT. I was TRT for over a year with no clotting issue than got the one in my groin about 6 weeks ago.

So can I be on eliquis and continue therapy??? Thank you.

Who is Dr. Glueck?

This sounds very suspicious to me. I am unaware of contraindications to Eliquis while on Testosterone, OR Testosterone while on Eliquis.

Email him to ask him. I doubt his position has changed.

Would Heparin treatment work in guys who have H&H problems on TRT have any contraindications? I am going to school for this, so I am trying to critically think here.

Heparin is not the solution for high Hct. Phlebotomy or dose reductions is.

It's used prophylactic to prevent clots which is the main reason you're looking at H&H number prevention. I don't know about long term use but I've seen it used by patients at my work for greater than 6 months.
