In November 2017 I was diagnose with enlarged prostrate and was given 2 tablets Finasteride, Tamsulosin, In June this year I developed swollen breasts and painful nipples and I visited my GP who immediately took me off the Finasteride as one of the side effects where swollen breasts, In July I was taken into hospital for the prostrate operation after four months of recovery I visited the doctor with a complaint of tiredness who then told me to have a blood test which revealed that my testosterone was high a second test a month later revealed the same, my doctor said that I should see another  Endocrine doctor at a hospital my appointment is this coming November, I am confused as to what High Testosterone is and what can be done I have read a lot through Google but still left scratching my head, now another problem is regarding sex my libido as waned and I have become disinterested in sex, now here is another bombshell I can't get an erection I have Viagra which doesn't work, I feel as though my life is going nowhere. And feel depressed.

I only hope that no other person as gone through this but what I do hope is that someone can help me.

Thank You.

    Hi Ken Testosterone is the 'male' hormone!!! makes you all manly they say?

    We have three basic hormones in males/females Estrogen/Testosterone&progesterone  P is the precursor to E&P it also controls the prostate!

    both males&Females need all three to survive normaly males have higher T lower E but need E to create sperm for one and like wise with females they need more E and low T for same reasons as basic male and female in the book!

    But not everyone is a follower of the handbook/workshop manual as we are all female in the womb at first till later one then sex is defined of the foetus so then changes happen but not all babies are created the same as there are many outside influences that effect the birth.

    There are Females with high T levels that function normally along with males that have high E levels!

    As we are a mixture just like a cake of genetics from both sides so like a cake they have all sorts of ingredients for each type if correct&baked ok turns out a nice cake but if say more/less flour will effect results and us like wise.

    So your quacks need to find your base results more to find where you should be as giving you more T when the body don't want/require it will cause issues as it can change into a bad type of E or T which will effect erections plus lot's more.

    I have a pituitary tumour/prolactinoma im pretty sure would class in the higher E levels from young and when they found the tumour i had very high prolactin levels and low T which pretty sure had been for many years as i was the one that knew had tumour and had asked my Quack about why my hair below kept falling out but got usual blah blah.

    So i looked into it and worked it out which Endo's comfirmed yet put me on T which like you made them dam sore/painful &increased growth by a lot! ended up with me having luckily a small stroke as blood got so thick it couldn't be pumped round!

    It's something now been found in tests why many don't get left on T HRT for longer than needed.

    But try taking an Aspirin every day it keeps blood thinner they do a small one for it.

    The medical world can be good but often lead by idiots that never progress past med school tech!

    so keep your chin up and feel free to ask any questions always do my best to answer.

      Many thanks nomarbles for your helpful reply.

      My appointment for the Endocrinologist was changed from the 1st 

      November to the 30th after a brief examination that I had one bilateral testee that was not performing right smaller than the other but no palpable lumps, what he did say was the hope of having any testosterone replacement would worsen the prostrate and maybe bring on the cancer, what cancer I did'nt know anything about that and I don't want to go down that road. So no further action from there perspective is needed and passing me back to urology.

      When the blood results came back twice it had nothing to do with high testosterone but raised levels of LH & FSH.

      My testosterone is normal.

      I had mumps when I was 9 years old which  causing me to be sterile and thats where all this stemmed from.

      I still have a erection problem and my doctor as told me to take 100mgs of Viagra, I don't what to take these all I want is my life back as it was before the operation.

      Ok I am glad of the blood tests which brought about the problem of an enlarged prostrate, 

      I have an appointment for the 28th December with the urology department and I am eager to know there side of the story, so watch this space.

      Have a great Christmas & Happy new year Nomarbles.
