Is HRT for Life???

[reddragon4954]

I was doing research and looks like men who can go on hrt (test) sometime in there 40s'. My research told me that most will use a small dose of adex to control the Estrogen sides. Research also showed me that most men will stay on hrt very long term, 20+ years as long as BW comes back good.

I say all that to ask this, so does that mean AI's really dont ever lose there effectivenss like other meds do ( heart meds ect.)????

I read one article http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1829446/

It talks about how AIs lose effectiveness over time, well at least lose there effectivenss on tumors, but in HRT your not dealing ith cancerous tumors rather just an increase of estrogen from an increae in test,but like i said men will stay on adex for years with hrt with no problems..

So I ask...
Do AI's lose effectiveness over time??

No i dont beleive they do...

They simply block an enzyme.. If the body pumps more out the enzyme is sitll going to be blocked...

And yes HRT is for life.
