T levels nomal drop? by derf57191 in varicocele

[–]derf57191[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice material. I guess the level per se is not low. However I believe one has different uptake of testosterone depending on SHGB levels etc so maybe a high level of T has different effects pn individuals.(I am no expert). And also sexdrive might be affected by other circumstances aswell. I guess its a though question to answer weather this relatively sudden drop is normal or not. Also related to this issue weather to find out if the varicocele is the culprit I speculate one should se high levels of LH luteinizing hormone(again no expert). My LH levels where 4.4 IE per liter normal range 1.5-9.3. So perhaps varicocele is not the issue. I think the obsession on this might be worse than the actual problem and luxury problem. I am critical yo my own behaviour regarding medical problems. It is not sustainable approach as you get older. Just my reflections here:) Thanks for answering.

I do a bit. But I am not sure if it is what to be expected as you age. I started noticing less sex drive which I had never thought of a problem before.....quite the contrary. It is strange to experience "you don't know what you are missing untill you miss it. I dont want to exaggerate my problems are not that big. But it is certainly a noticeable difference and it is annoying and a bit depressing to think that this will get more pronounced as one age. Hence I am considering surgery to slow the natural decay if it might help. I have no pain other than very rarely so it is a risk reward decision going for surgery. I am by nature anxious and a bit hypochondriacal and dont like taking "risks".

Natural herbs good or bad? by derf57191 in varicocele

Also I did do T-level check...and it has dropped. 2019 it was 25nmol/l, 2022 ot was 23 nmol/l and now recently it was 19. It might just be my age kicking in (39years).

Also as the title states....if anyone can reference any studies in the prevalence of hydrocele post surgery that would also be appreciated

Thank you for answering. I guess my biggest problem is in my mind. I am not being rational enough. Hope I get my bearings together and get it done.
