Use of the gel…

[Joe56s]

Dear friends,
First of all, I would like that as many of you who read this question and can help me that answer it. I will be really grateful for it.

The urologist prescribed me a gel in June 2022, Testogel 50 mgs and the first three months it improved my sexual drive in a great way. My total TRT increased from 2.54 to 4,39 ng/ml. My free testosterone improved from 14.8 to 22.3 pg/ml these last months. I went for a revision in October and everything was OK. Things have changed for worse this last month. I used the TRT gel during the summer without covering my chest with a vest or underwear for hours. My sexual drive was then very high and my wife was even a bit tired of it. Now, as it is cold where I live, I use or apply the gel in my chest and in about ten minutes I cover it with an underwear garment. I have noticed that my sexual drive has decreased very much. Has this aspect of covering with an underwear very quickly something to do with the low absorption of the gel? My erections went well and now although with some patience it is difficult for me to make love. A few months ago I took drops of ginkgo biloba for this but now I take them in pills because they are much cheaper. They don’t help me very much.

I thank you in advance for helping me. I don’t know why the effect of the gel has decreased. Does it only help the first months? I feel grateful to Mr. Nelson Vergel and all the members involved here in this awesome and wonderful forum. (Although I have a degree in English, I am not perfect)

It's common for men to have absorption issues down the road, it may be the cold weather forcing your body to keep the heat in your body which is then affecting absorption.

You might try the inner thigh, but stay away from the testicles! If that doesn't work, it sounds like it's time for injections.

Dear Systemlord,

Thank you for your piece of advice very much related to using it in the thighs. I am also applying the gel in the morning instead of in the evening for thirty minutes instead of ten, using it near a stove. I will follow your advice.

It is curious not many people are interested in the use of the TRT gels and use more the injections program. My libido hasn’t disappeared completely but I have some problems with erections. This is why I am taking ginkgo biloba. I have changed from trademark pills and increased the dose.

At least, you have answered me. I feel grateful for it. A lot of blessings for you!!!

Best wishes,

Joe

The injections is most widely used because no risk of transferring to your kids or partner and no absorption issues. You can even use insulin syringes for painless injections.

I’m on an expensive oral T capsule (Jatenzo @237 mg) taken twice daily. Steady states are achieved in 7 days!

I’ve been on same Gel for 15 years , it works okay for me except too high DHT equals BPH and hair loss. It may be an absorption issue , have you had bloods done recently iecsince you have not been feeling so good, that would tell tou if it’s an absorption issu or not. That’s the first thing to do I would say. They say to spread the gel and let it dry, well I rub it in , I do 40mg at 9am, then 20mg at 3pm and 10mg at 7pm. That’s the only way it works for me, I am unusual so maybe don’t change anything in your regime until you test.

Dear keepfit 1,

I am sorry but I didn’t read your post until today as I didn’t receive any message in my email that I had a new post.

I am grateful for your post and to see that there are other people who use the TRT and it works for them. My last blood test was in October and everything was right Total testosterone 4,39 and free testosterone around 22. I have made several changes and things seem to have improved. I use it in the morning instead of in the late evening. I try that it dries completely with 30 minutes waiting without covering with underwear or a vest. I use another ginkgo biloba product which seems to be better. I will rub more the gel as you suggest.

Thank you for your help

Joe

Great , happy it helped a bit, when you say your T was 4,39 do you mean 439? or what is the range for T in your units

 

[Joe56s]

Yes, it is 439. It is a different kind of unit I used. In Spain they use other units.

and what is the range

 

[Joe56s]

Here they use a different unit measurement. 4,39 (2,9 - 10) for the total testosterone. In the USA it would be 439 (290 - 1000) Between brackets the suitable values. In June I had 2,54 or USA 254.
Free testosterone 22,3 (15,0 - 50) In June 14,8
