One nut! less testosterone?

[return2glory]

Dont remember the medical name, but in high school I suffered a "twisted testical" and was to embarassed to go to a doc until it was too late. Ended having to have it removed. Shorty after I got a implant and then never really thought much of it. Now I'm 28 and im wondering if this would affect my testosterone level. Just recently I have been feeling like a slug and im always tired. I want to get back in the gym but im just not motivated.

you had a testicular torsion, you had an orchiectomy done(removal of the testicle). Generally the remaining testicle "picks up the slack" so to speak in the testosterone department. With age testosterone levels decrease slowly in most individuals. Now with having one you may or may not have a faster decline in testosterone than someone with two(there are so many factors that come into play). From your post i understand this is a concern of yours. You have the option of talking to your primary physician about this. Just keep a matter of fact attitude about it and discuss it as concern of yours, He may do some labwork, and ask general questions regarding your physical health.

Get a blood panel done...have LH and FSH checked, total test, free test and e levels.

My son has only one, and we were wondering the same. The doctor told us it shouldn't effect him but he did blood work just to double check ( and I think to put our mind to rest) and he is ok.

remember the STP song "half the man I use to be" that song reminds me of what having one nut would be like.

Since we are on the topic of nuts - what do you call an alien with 3 nuts -
"an extra triestical"
