I chose to post this article in an attempt to talk about the experiences of mine as In my opinion it might be ideal for a number of other males who may be suffering aided by the exact same issues as I was. Let me preface this with a disclaimer: I’m NOT a health care professional or an authority on medication or health problems. If you believe you could possibly experience low testosterone, please read the story of mine. If you discover that you can identify with the experiences of mine, you could opt to seek direction from a qualified professional.
I’m a 42 year old man, husband and father of 4 kids. Approximately 8 years ago I begun to feel “off.” It began with extremely slow, practically imperceptible changes in how I felt and yes it gradually became worse. I was very easily winded (even tying my shoes became a massive chore). I had no motivation or perhaps energy to do anything. I got light headed if I stood up too quickly. I started to gain weight without having real change in the diet of mine. I’d constantly been an extremely sexual person throughout my whole adult life when I no longer had early morning erections, I knew something was wrong. The libido of mine was pretty much non-existent.
I went to my general practitioner that referred me to an Endocrinologist. That physician did a lot of tests (blood, urine, etc…) and found that my testosterone levels were way below the regular amounts for a man of my age. He told me I had something called pituitary hypogonadism. In a nutshell, the pituitary gland of mine shut down and stopped sending signals to the testes of mine to provide testosterone. Evidently, it’s quite common in males who are in their late 30’s and/or early 40’s. I imagine the majority of males only put up with it and chalk it as many as growing old. Not me. No disrespect to those men that are fine with aging however, I would like to do all that I can do to stay young as long as I can. The Endocrinologist put me on testosterone, an injection that I’d to offer myself in the rear-end, once each and every two days.
After the very first shot of mine, I felt much better. My energy came back again, I started losing weight, the erections of mine as well as libido returned in earnest. Which was it! That was the solution. It simply made a lot of sense. I was low on testosterone, thus I had to supplement testosterone right? Wrong! Allow me to explain further.
I stayed on testosterone for many years. I did shots (two distinct kinds of testosterone esters), treatments, spots as well as gels. I’ve experimented with them all. Almost all in all I felt much better than ahead of the HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) though I started to create another issue. This one, I was not in a position to detect on my own. There was no unwanted side effects like getting tired or not eager to have sex. A doctor that was treating me for the lower testosterone did periodic blood tests to check on the all around health of mine and testosterone levels. He noticed that the hematocrit level of mine began to rise. Hematocrit is a measurement of blood volume which is occupied by red blood cells. I began to develop the opposite predicament of someone with anemia. I’d a lot of white blood cells – a condition called Polycythemia Vera. Polycythemia is potentially life threatening. Too many red blood cells make your blood especially thick. A few pro athletes (particularly distance runners) shoot supplements in an attempt to boost the amount of blood cells which are white in the systems of theirs. Reddish blood cells transport oxygen to the muscles of ours so in theory, the more red blood cells you have, the better oxygen you’re making available to the body of yours. This translates to much better plus more powerful athletic performance as well as quicker recovery. However, as in the case of mine, there’s a point at which it is lots of a very good thing.
The draw back of an increased amount of white blood cells – fuller blood means the heart of mine needs to work harder to pump blood through my body. The “extra work” I am asking the heart of mine to do could lead to a heart attack. Also, thicker blood will clot easier and more efficiently. This can cause stroke, deep vein thrombosis, a pulmonary embolism, etc. Basically, it’s not good.
I went to one more physician (this one a Hematologist/Oncologist). The treatment for high hematocrit (too many white blood cells) is to do a phlebotomy (remove a little blood). Basically, they only take off a pint of blood. When they remove a pint of the “thick blood” the body of mine is going to make brand new blood to replace the pint they took. The hope is that my body can’t produce the white blood cells as fast as the doctor testo prime video can take them off. It is just love donating blood. This blood-letting necessary to take place a couple of times a month until the levels of red blood cells cane down to a “safe” or acceptable level.
I was in a catch-22. I needed the testosterone to feel normal and like a man, though each time I took the shot of mine, I needed to run to the blood bank to bleed-out a pint & eat a cookie! I did this cycle for several years and it sucked!
