Test. replacement therapy

[sublime35]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So it turns out, that my own suspicions about me having low test levels are correct. Went to the doc. cuase i wanted to get tested and find out if that's what the problem is and it turns out I was right. What sucks is that I'm only 17 years old. I'm going back to see the doc. this week as a follow up to talk bout my options i guess, which means I need test. replacement therapy. Has anyone had any experience with this? I guess i have either the choice of an oral gel, creams and injectable liq. obviously. I'm just wondering if anyone tried the other things besides inj. and what your results were. From what I've read, inj. are the best and safest and the orals are appearently extremely expensive.

the next step is further labwork for LH, and FSH levels to find if its primary or secondary hypogonadism, measurments of testicular volume, possible ultrasound, furter review of previous medical history....kinetics of topical gel T replacement are favored(mimics plasma levels similar to natural production) over injectible preparations,,,\\

Yeah i read last night that the topical gel is actually the best and most favored by most since it's easy, and that it is identical to the nat. test. produced by the body. I can't figure out whether it will be considered prim. or secondary. I can only think of one time in my life where I was actually hit in my "stuff" hard enough to cause problems, and when it happened I had some pain down there for a day or two. But I was in the 2nd grade so back then I didn't have the smarts to realize to go to the doctor. If it was that, then it would be primary, but it could be hereditary, since my dad and grandfather bother have little lean mass, and they both have told me that they never had to really start shaving until they were almost 40. So they have some signs of low test.

can someone shed more light on this subject as my dad is getting older and he has some questions. I can't get his ass to go the the Dr. though, so he is asking me a lot of questions. Like how does the therapy work, what does it do for the body (increase in energy, increase libido, stuff like that?). If someone could shed some more light on the subject, that would be great and maybe I can get him to go get somemore answers from the Dr.

Usally get a gel to rub in from the doctor its just enough to raise the test to normal, so yes he will see some kind of energy wood ect.. Probably feel all young again too.Bet he wont be cranky either lol
