Just got T levels back

[Stillgoing]

First of all, I could never understand why anyone would get a vasectomy. The idea of a sharp object getting within 2 feet of my testicles makes me shudder. And not to be the bearer of bad news, it looks as if men with vascectomies have a greater affinity for prostate problems too. Sorry guys. No disrespect or anything -- I'm just saying it as a warning to others.

If vasectomy means higher risk of prostate problems, well, that sucks....

However, whats the long-term risk of women being on birth control pills?? (not a rhetorical question, but, they are pretty powerful drugs, so, you might expect some issues). So, as partners, my wife and I had to make a decision. Further, after she birthed out 2 kids, its not right to be a pussy about a little snip. Its an easy operation, and I don't think I've been adversly affected in any way (unless it lowered my test, no way to know).

Fuck man, I'm 26 with natural test levels at 426.. no cycle history or anything.. if that isn't optimal then what's it gonna do at 30+! And no I've never had a vasectomy.

Yeah, you will want to watch it, especially if you are experiencing symptoms of low test. You may ultimately make the decision to go HRT.

BTW, your signature, thats a Tool song right?? I know that line, but, its been buggin' me for a while trying to figure it out.....help me out here!!!!

Yeah man, its a quote from Prison sex.

And damn.. at 26 I never thought I'd ever have to even think about something like HRT... I don't think I am experiencing any symptoms of low test levels though... what are the common ones?

Here is an interesting self test for symptoms of andropause:

The site suggests you print off the results and share them with your doctor.

The only one there I would say is a slight loss of sex drive... but I just write it off as "I'm not a teenager anymore" I can't really blow my load more then once during a session of sex anymore.. even with someone new. I'd say I still have a decent drive though, I have sex and/or masturbate once a day on average.

It all depends on the individual, I am 44 and my test level is 435.

How is test level accosiated with amount of testosterone in your body?

Does a T level of 400 mean you have 400mg of test/week in your body? I am kinda confused, can someone explain?

Maybe one of the Doctors on the board can help answer..

the 200-800 range is not measured in mg.. i'm pretty sure of that... its a concentration or something..

And i've heard that you produce 5-10mg of test daily or something to that effect.

I don't know the exact conversion rate but short answer is no. Your natural test. production is a very small fraction of 400mg/week. For some reason I want to say around 10mg/daily but I don't know why.

Yea, I always thought males produced somewhere around 100mg+ of test/week.

Does anyone know the conversion?

I'm sorry, that was just LOL to me when I read it
