Testosterone

Testosterone Therapy in Men with Advanced Prostate Cancer – Summary: Abraham Morgentaler, MD, explains new concepts that could subvert the long-held belief that high levels of testosterone exacerbate prostate cancer growth.

It has been six months and my PSA remains undetectable but my testosterone has not budged and is still <6. How long did it take for your testosterone to start climbing back if at all?

Hi wise posters, I’m on testosterone as part of HRT & take Levothyroxine in the mornings which suits me best. Does anyone know if testosterone interferes with Levothyroxine? If so, I should try applying the testosterone gel at night & hope it doesn’t make my insomnia worse.

Who has tried natural testosterone boosters and have they worked? If so... What type have you used? Interested to hear everyone's thoughts here... Were there any side effects etc?

As a result, intratesticular testosterone levels (ITT) and overall testosterone production decrease. Exogenous testosterone therapies can suppress ITT production to such a degree that spermatogenesis can be dramatically compromised at ITT concentrations to less than 20 ng/mL."

Anyone using Ashwagandha it actually increases testosterone ?

Testosterone and its relationship to cancer cell gross: I just read a recent study that showed that testosterone accelerates cancer cell growth.

So do the boobs diminish with the return of testosterone?

Hi All, I had my bloods done recently via gp and my prolactin was 243 and testosterone 0.9 nmol/l. Im guessing my prolactin is high for fertility and testosterone too low. Does anyone know how to lower prolactin naturally. Many thanks xx

Hi, after 1 failed round Doc has added in testosterone gel for 3 weeks as it increases quality. I gave low amh. Anyone had success with this please ?

Testosterone, free and total <3 PSA <0.1 Lookin' good. 👍

I have blood work done every 3 months and results from the first 6 months were PSA.02 and Testosterone .06. Now my last numberers after 9 months are PSA 1.0 and Testosterone 10.02. I am waiting for Urologist to get me back on the 3 month Zoladex shot.

I met with my urologist today. My PSA is undetectable for over a year (following a radical prostatectomy followed by radiation). I’m still having serious incontinence and ED issues. I’m still not sold on another surgery and having something foreign in my body that may need to eventually be replaced

For several months I reviewed ALL of the peer reviewed research on testosterone use in prostate cancer as well as the BAT trials. I decided to do a personal trial of high dose testosterone for one month and follow the results with my PSA levels.

.: [i]"I think the key result of this study is that sequencing testosterone and then anti-testosterone therapy, in this case enzalutamide, seems to be the ideal way [to modify the adaptive process]," Denmeade told MedPage Today.

Will it lower my testosterone and help keep my PSA lower than it would be?

Testosterone seems particularly low end of normal? Thanks x

Still on three monthly prostap but psa still at <0.10 with testosterone 0.09. Is it wise to stay with just prostap (lute) and keep monthly blood tests to follow psa/testosterone or as consultant onc start lower Xtandi dose now. I prefer the “ holiday “ obviously. Any ideas wise ones.

It appears that Avocados will increase your testosterone. Therefore should this fruit be avoided?

Majority of Studies I've read state Testosterone should be below 20 - for now it is only 19 but I'm concerned if it rises above 20 and continues with the upward trend. He was already stage 4 (area in bladder, several lymph nodes and an area in sacrum) when he had RP 12/2019.
