Hypogonadism

[CraigWatts]

Thanks Vette. Disappointing those are the only options. Im now a week off Omnifen and im pretty much flatlined on libido. I haven't had any sexual activity since Sunday and Im not even feeling the "stir" ... Even at my worst I would get the desire back after 4 days. So this is boring.

I should state that overall, I feel normal. Nothing specifically negative. Just an absence of the positive. Minor negatives are that my workout isn't as productive and I can see some reductions in size with the same amounts of effort in the gym. Also getting difficult to keep the abdominal bloat down again.

I guess I just cant imagine that zero morning wood, zero libido, decreased muscle development, and increased abdominal fat (which is associated with scores in the 400's and lower) is still considered "Normal" to doctors.

Why is that? Is their logic that the treatment options carry risks, so you really need to be suffering bad before they consider the negativity to justify the potential risks? (HRT - cancers, blood clots, prostate problems, etc)

they dont use logic...

dont wait for a doctor to discover your health problems and/or fix them
