hey there. Im 33 and over the last couple of years i have had all of the classic symptoms, i used to enjoy the gym and working out but this increasingly became impossible as i lost all my drive and motivation. I was also getting joint pains. Was reffered to a rheumatologist due to these pains and i requested a blood test fot t. my levels came back at 12.5. My gp said this was normal and was dismissive and told me "you will not get testosterone treatment". I decided to go to a private gp surgery. Luckily the doctor had experience of low T and prescribed me nebido. It is expensive but at this moment it is worth it. i feel so much better about life as i was previously not able to see a future, I was able to work out at the gym at a high intensity for the first time in years , and i get a buzz to work out which is all brilliant. I am hoping that this trial with nebido will give me the ammunition to approach my gp in order that i get nhs funded nebido. It seems the nhs is preocupied with ftm transexuals than with ordinary men for quality of life issues. Men pay most of the taxes but receive so little out of it all in the name of political correctness. I will fight this as nebido has given me back my spark. By the way, i had a history of depression and low self esteem and this has been resolved with the t. Good luck guys, make the system work for you.

I was diagnosed early this year with Low T due to hypopituitarism. To be honest the NHS have been ok but very slow to react. Been on testogel for 9 months now and its better but not right. Had a recent test and levels at 12.5 Nmol at 9 in the morning. I am 44 and otherwise healthy and fit. GP just told me that is within normal range of 10 - 28 so thats ok...!!! I checked and online you can see studies that show average T level for 90 year old is 13 !! so I have the T levels of a 90 year old and thats ok !!?? There is for sure a lot of ignorance and you have to be prepared. I now have to fight to see my specialist again and try and demand they increase it to something approaching levels suitable for my age.

My testosterone level are 9.7 nmol. I am 38 years old and feel like I am going out of my mind (Dizziness and tiredness). I had testicular cancer and removal of testes 4.5 years ago. I am not getting any help from my GP or endocrinologist. I feel depressed and often feel suicidal. Please someone help me. Can someone recommend an endochrinologist in the the London area that can help me. I am praying for help Sincere Thanks

hello iam a 26yr old male and at the age of 22 i was diagnosed with klinefelter's syndrome. basically my body does not produce enough testoterone on its own so i have injections every ten weeks of testosterone pumped into my body. also my testicles did not grow with the rest of my body, so i have had one removed and had an implant put in and iam now waiting for the other one to be done. i have came to terms with this condition. what iam trying to say is this condition is not widely known and not talked about very often , so i would urge males who often fly of the handle for no reason or are constantly feeling tired and have no energy to go to your G.P. and suggest this condition. its nothing to be ashamed off, and has really helped me over the past 4yrs. i hope this comes to help of some people. And i hope maybe the show will look into for people who don't really understand it.

I an a 44 (almost 45) year old man. I had a vasectomy 2 years ago while my wife was pregnant with my 4th child. I have been to see urologist at Kings for over 18 months due to low libido and ED. My blood tests show Testosterone within limits albeit at lower end. They cannot find *ANYTHING* wrong with me, have prescribed Viagra, Cialis (various doses) and have accepted they are no closer to a solution. After an almost toe to toe discussion, where I challenged their knowledge and abilities, I had pelvic MRI scan and penile scan. They have referred me to Psycho-Sexual counselling and have now signed me off from their clinic. I can just get an erection - after a while - and can just about keep it during intercourse, but the feedback loop seems to have gone - it's almost like wearing a condom! The loss of sensitivity is huge. Being honest, I think the symptoms started before my vasectomy, although there has been a marked drop-off since then! My wife has noticed the changes in my behaviour and moods, and also I find myself significantly more emotional than before. WHY oh WHY has the health industry in this country closed ranks on these issues? The urologist denied the existence of Andropause. I pointed out that Menopause was denied until the medical industry finally accepted it's existence. That was greeted with stunned silence! I am now being referred to someone else!

sir over the last 2 years i have suffered from the male menopause but trying to get a doctor to believe me (very hard) my wife knows i am sufferng and she is sick of telling doctors she was the one that told me i was suffering. but after reading as much as i could and i am no doctor but it does not take long to add one plus one to get two. we have found one doctor that i am seeing who knows about male menopause and he fingers crossed started blood testing to make sure that i am suffering from and not somthing else.

hi im a 22 old male who since finishing puberty at 16.has lost my libido for women along with my mucle mass, and are now starting loose my hair and gain weight.im also constantly tired.i went to see my doctor when it first started.but he said there was nothing wrong with me.but since then it just seems to have gotta worse.if any one does have any information on this.could you tell me please

I have gone through the Andropause but according to N.I.C.E it does not exist,so what cause my hot flushes mood swings and other related symptoms.I when to Dr Carruthers website filled out the question sheet I ticked all the boxes.So why can't N.I.C.E get its act together and accept the fact it does exist,an start offering men hormone replacement to fix the problem.Another side affect is I'm always falling asleep if I sit down in the evening.
