have you had a T test to show that you need it? |

There are some causes of hypogonadism that justify TRT, but it means no more competitive sport for you unless the quacks can find an organic cause.... |

Lower cancer risk? TRT is contra-indicated for anyone with elevated PSA levels or in a risk group for prostrate cancer.... |

"It makes a huge difference,not only with lethargy/tiredness but a general sense of feeling really good. Hard to explain. "
This is the thing, my doc has only mentioned it and so far no blood tests and did say I would have to see another doctor to get thier opinion, surely it’s just a blood test and if you are low then something can be done, I’ve spoken to a few friends who love in my town and most have simply bought theirs off amazon in the end, all have reported feeling a lot more lively .... what to do |

You need a blood test. Some doctors are excellent and will help you even if you're not below the minimum level but close. Others won't bother unless you're well below the minimum level. Pot luck on your doctor really.
I was just above the minimum level and my doc refused so I self medicate now.
You can buy gels online legally from various supplement sites, nothing shady it's all above board and legal. Or you can go down the route of self injecting and sourcing your own testosterone which is also perfectly legal. |

"I’m on TRT. I didn’t want my levels to drop off so I simply asked my GP to put me on it. A few tests later and I was given it.
The difference is brilliant I can not recommend it enough. "

Obviously there are pros and cons to any HRT/TRT programme so make sure you do your own extensive research. Like someone posted in this threads there are ways to increase your natural testosterone but it does naturally decline as we age.
We can self diagnose pretty much any disease or illness we like if we try hard enough. The reasons for the fatigue etc might be lifestyle more than low T or lifestyle causing low T.
As someone else said if you do genuinely need it it can be a bit of a postcode lottery on the NHS, particularly with the savings that are being made by CCGs. |

It might not be low T levels, your Total Test could be perfectly normal but your Free Test levels be abysmal.
Low Vitamin D can cause low Free Test levels which can give the same symptoms as low Test.
Low Vitamin D is very common at this time of year in Britain so it's a distinct possibility.
As a tip to any younger lads reading this, get your Test levels checked now whilst you are in your prime so you've got a reference number you can spot any decline against as you get older. |

Yes mate it’s like a toothpaste pump. Couple of squirts rub it into a hairless area and you are good to go.
I’m contemplating having injections or a patch.
My doctor is really interested in men’s health luckily. |

Oh that makes sense as that's about as much as a male in his prime. |
