TRT for my father

[muskel]

Well the geezer is 61 and i do believe its time to pump some Testosterone Enanthate in him to replace the nonexistent test levels.
No bloodwork has been done..he should probably get it done but still..

First off! How does your Dad feel about that? Lots to consider on his end (family history etc ect.,). and YES, do the bloodwork and if he still wants to then find a Doc who specilizes in HRT.

Good Luck, MJ

My dad feels very excited about that. We have had no major medical problems that i know of (prostate etc). I think i can get the bloodwork done at a local clinic. Finding a doc who specializes in HRT in Estonia? The healthcare here only care about you if you have some sort of a serious condition. I will look into that still.

Thanks for replying

My pops has had his bloodwork done in december and it was all ok.
I guess he could make an appointment with an endocrinologist but would it be worth it? After a few months of running between doctors the end result would just be the same (doctor describing test replacement for the rest of his life)?.
What dosages are typically described ? 200mg Test E every two weeks?
Or should he go with HCG ?

best of luck with your dad....i'll try to add more later...wish my pops was still with us

100mg per week of Test is pretty standard. At his age, if he can afford it, I would look at HGH as well. Blood test are mandatory. Test levels and a PSA Test for Prostate as well as a rectal examination of the Prostate is absolutely mandatory.

Thanks Kale.

No HGH its too expensive. He'll get the tests done, then well see what to do next. With any luck i will also post some progress here.

muskel, it looks like you did some reading up a bit since you stated you know that some of the endos can have you chasing your tail and if insurance isn't tight, it IS easier/less expensive to just go with and HRT clinic....they are more knowledgeable than most doctors that don't specialize in HRT...
you call your dad geezer....i used to call mine codger....sure miss em....good luck to the both of you

I don t think there is a hrt clinic in estonia..no offense. we rarely have something like that in Germany...European doctors think completely different of hrt: for them (and thats true) it s not proven that hormone replacement prolongs life. it surely can add quality of life but from a medical standpoint it brings more problems, than anything else. thats why after decades even the hrt for women will be discontinued...also in the states.

There are no HRT clinics in Estonia. My fathers family doctor sent him off to another doctor who specializes in thorough blood tests. He did get the basics done plus some lung, heart etc. checks. All is good except the through blood work would cost a lot of money and since he had one done in December we can use that one. I'll see if i can get my hands on it

codger well mine's 61 and still kicking hard. My grandfather l(his father) ived to be 75 and the died because he had a heart attack. The doctors misdiagnosed him with pneumonia and he walked to the ambulance and up the hospitals stairs where he died while changing his doctors. Estonian health care year 1994.
