Dr could have called in a script right then and he would be GTG now.Id assume she is tired of hearing a plan and is ready to see actions. This is so fixable and as a wife of someone with this same issue, I get pretty pissed off when he isn’t staying compliant with his treatment.
That's kind of where I was going. There's definitely things he's leaving out.Id assume she is tired of hearing a plan and is ready to see actions. This is so fixable and as a wife of someone with this same issue, I get pretty pissed off when he isn’t staying compliant with his treatment.
I found I had to basically grab my doctor and tell him I no longer wanted sex and he got the idea and sent me to a urologist.Ten years or so for me as well. Finding a doctor that’s good with testosterone is really hard.
I'm not really surprised, but damn that is brutalI work at a cancer facility and can relay this terrible fact: 80% of women diagnosed with cancer and 60% of men diagnosed with cancer wind up divorces because their spouse decided to cheat on them while they were in treatment.
It’s a shame it’s so difficult for a man to find good treatment for low testosterone.I found I had to basically grab my doctor and tell him I no longer wanted sex and he got the idea and sent me to a urologist.
It's a weird situation.It’s a shame it’s so difficult for a man to find good treatment for low testosterone.
I never had a problem getting treatment but I had a huge problem finding good treatment. Too many doctors think getting a shot once every 2-3 weeks is good and it’s not. I’m now using a urologist that’s almost six hours away from me and it’s well worth it.It's a weird situation.
I've been on TRT for years and years.
It took me months to finally figure out that I had to go the path of saying that I no longer wanted sex to get any traction.
No one wants to admit that issue for men.
I've had female GP in the time I've been on TRT and they treat it the same as a male - almost out of sight out of mind.
So it's not a female vs. male issue - it's how the GP are trained and educated about low T.
The sad thing is Low T leads to:
1) Cancer (prostate mainly but study's show other cancers as well)
2) Dementia
3) Alzheimer's
4) Lowering of cognitive activity
5) Depression
6) Bone density
7) Muscle growth
This should be

Over the past 6-7 months I've noticed a serious drop in my sex drive. I am extremely attracted to my wife and our sex life, up to this point, has always been healthy. I went in for my annual physical back in April and mentioned this to my doctor. He ran a blood test and found my testosterone levels are low. I am about to see an endocrinologist to get on a treatment plan. I told my wife what the problem was and that it was definitely not her that's causing my struggle. I even showed her the digital test results and she heard the call when the doctor's office called to go over the results with me. She is now guilting me for not being interested in sex with her and she thinks I'm not attracted to her. I have tried over and over again to tell her that this is because of the low T and that when I get on my treatment plan things will get back to where they should be. I don't know what else to do to prove to her that I am still in love with her and attracted to her and that the low T is making sex very difficult. Anyone else been in this situation?
I am 57 myself and was discovered in my early 40's of having a cyst on my pituitary glad and so my body does not produce any testosterone at all. My total T level got down to as low as 82. I tried all the Rx's the patch and the gel nothing worked. I now for the last 5+ years I have to take a direct injection in the butt once every two weeks. My wife gives me the jab with a 18 gauge needle. I always try and not make her mad on the day she is going to jab me. lol Best of luck!42, serum level was flagged as low at 240 ng/dL.
Please show a link to a study that indicates low T leads to prostate cancer.It's a weird situation.

I went through prostate cancer treatment last year and now work to support other men who are dealing with prostate cancer. What I see is that men feel they are less masculine and unattractive to their partners and self isolate, pushing the partner away.I’m female and have had libido loss that became extreme over the past few months. Hormone panel showed several hormone issues as the cause (early perimenopause).
I’m scheduled for my first Sotto Pelle insert this Friday and am excited and hopeful.
My husband has been very understanding throughout it all. Sexually frustrated, but understanding. I’ve been working hard to pinpoint the problem and never even knew about pellets until a month ago.
As for your wife - it’s strange that she would begin her accusatory tirade AFTER you proved to her that it’s hormonal. Does your wife often have dramatic and unreasonable responses, or is this type of dramatic reaction from her new?
Most spouses would be relieved that it’s not personal, and supportive to their spouse’s medical condition.
Then again… there is no fathoming the human mind sometimes… I work at a cancer facility and can relay this terrible fact: 80% of women diagnosed with cancer and 60% of men diagnosed with cancer wind up divorces because their spouse decided to cheat on them while they were in treatment.
If you have LowT it can lead to prostate cancer.Please show a link to a study that indicates low T leads to prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer thrives on testosterone and one of the most effective ways to slow it down is chemical or surgical castration to lower testosterone. I just recently went through prostate cancer treatment which included 6 months of Lupron induced castration.
You won't get one test.My understanding is that testosterone levels vary broadly so one test really means nothing.
I’d get in shape and start some serious strength training before I’d start popping pills. I’d also refrain from porn, masturbation, and couch potato-ing. All these things can just wreck a man IMO.
I never said testosterone causes cancer.These are not true.
Testosterone is a naturally occurring hormone. It does not CAUSE prostate cancer. It will feed an already present tumor just like natural testosterone would.
I see the issue at hand.TRT increases bone density and improves cognitive abilities. Idk where you got this information but it simply isn’t true. Men need their levels at a certain level to properly function.
My point was that I was having an issue getting my GP to agree to test me for lowT.It isn’t just the magic penis hormone….
Take up weight training. Weight training increases Testosterone.Over the past 6-7 months I've noticed a serious drop in my sex drive.

OP indicated one blood test.You won't get one test.
There will be several tests to validate your actual levels.
BTW:
Porn has nothing to do with lowT.
Matter of fact, if you have lowT there is a high probability that you no longer care about porn.
Masturbation has nothing to do with LowT either.
Strength training helps to a degree. You have to be really serious about the type of training.
Getting in shape is also a factor in helping raise your TLevels.
It's best to talk with a specialist and get everything double and triple checked.
Don't forget to flog daily.OP indicated one blood test.
Porn and masturbation satiate men… they’re more likely to sleep, eat, sit on the couch, get lazy… Self denial makes men 💪
Eff that. I’m taking my kids sledding and going to lift later tonight.Don't forget to flog daily.
