OMG....you just answered many questions I have struggled with over many years! I have even fought with a doctor that cut my testerone in half (HRT @ 80 years old) and I really struggled with every symptom you listed as a result....she would not believe me that it was accelerating my ageing.......finaly I talked with my compounding pharmacist and he spoke up for me and we got it reinstated !!! I now feel normal and confident that my strength is returning and I can take care of myself again!! The testing standards that doctors rely upon must not be relied upon as a standard for all......SYMPTOMS MATTER!!

Hi, I was just recently started on HRT with vaginal estradiol. My uro-gyn had my hormones lab tested and while my estrogen and progesterone were at 0, my testosterone was at 120. I don't have facial acne or facial hair, but i'm very concerned. My Dr. sent a new script into the lab to have a hormone cream of only estrogen and progest. 3 yrs ago, I was a type 2 diabetic - but reversed that with diet/exercise. I am 68 y.o. Ty for your great video on this topic. If you see this, and have any advice for me - i'd truly welcome it.

I think it's impossible to figure out what to do with Sheehan patients. My hormones are all over the place. I'm low, I'm high and at times I'm in the normal range. I get tested several times a year and there's no pattern. I've had no libido regardless of high or low testosterone. My estrogen stays around 30-35 but I know it's cyclical. I did have clumps of hair coming out since 1999 but it stopped after I had Cushing's surgery in 2021. I've been messed up since 1999 and I don't know what's normal or not.

Dear Steve - my gynecologist, who is very reluctant to prescribe testosterone (I’m on estradiol and progesterone already), told me she’d prescribe the lowest dose, which is 0.5 mg per gram, and I’m to apply half a cc daily to inner thigh. (This would be a compounded product.) She didn’t mention doing a blood test for my baseline testosterone, just said she’d want to check my cholesterol levels after 3-6 months of the T treatment. (My current cholesterol levels are actually good.) I was wondering, if you could tell me whether the testosterone dose she’d prescribe is typical/reasonable dose for women? I’m trying to assess whether she’s knowledgeable enough about testosterone treatment for women, and thought that you as a compounding pharmacist could tell me what dose is commonly prescribed for women. Thank you for your valuable videos!

Thank you Doctor for your video. We know that a man/woman need both testosterone AND estrogen, but why do we hear sometimes that men should have 0 estrogen ? We hear so much in society that testosterone is powerful, that it almost feels like estrogen is despised and is associated with being a crybaby versus testosterone with being courageous, agressive, assertive, emotionless (all which are powerful traits in our society). It seems a woman with higher testosterone than normal is ok, but a man with higher estrogen is depicted as not a ''real man'' which I find stupid. What about Estrogen Levels in Men ?

@SimpleHormones 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching and for that great question! The topic of estrogen in men is quite controversial. Testosterone in men is naturally converted into an estrogen (estradiol) to varying degrees. Some providers want men to take a drug (it's called an "aromatase inhibitor") that prevents testosterone from being converted into estradiol and keeps estradiol levels low. Although these drugs do have their place and some situations may require them, the providers I work with generally try not to prescribe aromatase inhibitors. That's because the medical research shows that estradiol has some real benefits in men. You're right in saying, ". . . a man/woman need both testosterone and estrogen." But not everyone agrees with that statement.

Low motivation is a key symptom of low testosterone, so if you have zero motivation/drive, (despite being interested in accomplishing certain things you just never seem to be able to whip up enough enthusiasm or "will" to do it), that's a huge red flag. Unlike with depression, which makes you lose interest in doing things you used to enjoy, low T doesn't take away the interest, it just takes away the motivation or "get up and go". You've got the interest and energy, you just lack the focus and motivation/drive to actually get to it.

That depends on the reason T levels are high. So in PCOS, there are 2 major root issues that lead to high androgen levels: insulin resistance and sub-optimal thyroid. Tackling both of those issues can reduce high testosterone in those women, along with reversing anovulation due to high testosterone. In women taking testosterone who end up with too high T levels, the (somewhat obvious but not always straightforward) solution is to reduce the dose of testosterone they take. This may especially be tricky in patients with a subcutaneous pellet that needs to be removed. If high T levels are caused by adrenal tumors - well that’s a major problem that definitely needs to be addressed.

I’m 33 and my testosterone is 225. They can’t get it under control, and medicine like spironolactone makes my hair fall out even more! They’re saying the only thing I can do is get a hysterectomy. 😩

@SimpleHormones 2 жыл бұрын

Hysterectomy is sometimes necessary, but think of it as an absolute last resort. There are several possible reasons for high testosterone, including some serious ones. The most likely ones include insulin resistance, which causes PCOS. Sounds like you’d benefit from seeing a hormone provider with experience.

What is optimum measurement?

@SimpleHormones 2 жыл бұрын

As I mentioned in the video (did you watch it?) the optimal level of testosterone depends on a lot of factors. There’s no single number to shoot for. It depends on the lab you go to, your SHBG level, and your symptoms. The most important thing is getting a provider who knows what they’re doing with testosterone.

Women have a sex drive not driven by men!

@SimpleHormones Жыл бұрын

Sex drive is complicated and involves relational, emotional, physical, and life circumstance factors. The men in your life may have an impact. But so do the hormones your body may or may not be making.
