Now roughly 8 months later my T level is VERY VERY ...

Re: testicle atrophy & Orchiectomy

I had an orchiectomy 7 weeks ago by my Urologist in a hospital in Houston. My testicle atrophy was the cause.

I had terrible swelling from surgery because of the atrophy and that the testicles had scaring that attached to the sides of the scrotum.

Finally the sewlling is 100% gone away and I am so ...

Well it has been 9 days since my surgery. SOmehow it seems like it has been many MONTHS.

For the first week I was in a fair amount of pain and lived on pain meds for at least 5 days.

I expected the pain, and naturally I expected to wake up and find an empty scrotum. Well the exact opposite occured ...

Re: How much T is enough?????

The Testosterone Doctor said to use is Testosterone Cypionate 200 Mg/ ml

I am NOT reasl familar with it, but I think that means 200 mg per cc which is given every two weeks

So 2 CC every week would be way too much (I think)

My initial thought is to use ZERO testosterone. I will be VERY glad to ...
