RE: Androgen Deficiency: A Growing Problem for Aging Men

in #health7 years ago

Update

A few days ago, I met with my endocrinologist. This was a follow-up meeting to review testing he ordered for me. The result of that meeting was that I am now taking something to reduce my level of Total Testosterone. After making changes to my diet and supplements, I have gotten my Estradiol and SHBG into the normal ranges. But the Testosterone is still too high. Too much Testosterone is generally less of a problem than too little, but it makes sense to get everything into the normal ranges. We'll know more in a month.

Glad to hear you are doing well. Thank you for informing and encouraging others in health. Great post

Thanks so much. I actually need to do another update on this real soon. The last several months have been a roller coaster on the hormone side. I've learned a lot about trusting medical professionals versus doing your own research and treating yourself. The old saw about no one caring as much about your needs as you do applies in this part of life too. I've begun following you now.

Look forward to reading your update. Supplements can be dangerous! Hope you are staying fit, healthy, and well balanced

Hi. I just posted the update to my Androgen Deficiency post here: https://steemit.com/health/@freertomorrow/androgen-deficiency-six-month-follow-up

If you have any suggestions/recommendations for me, I would love to hear them. Simple and low-tech is the best, since here in Ecuador, they are way behind the times on many things!
