Anyone have experience with this?
Seems I picked up too much visceral fat when I was on low dose T for a few years. I stopped T last September (2018) because I thought it was hard on my liver and my crit was always borderline high.
Seems being off T or low T causes fatty liver according to a bunch of studies from the last few years.
Off T one year now have fatty liver (NASH)

Re: Off T one year now have fatty liver (NASH)
I was low T for a couple years, but just enough low that I wasn't getting erections. I tried 4 different docs to get a prescription for T and they would run the blood tests and tell me I was fine and wouldn't prescribe for me. I took matters into my own hands and injected Everclear 190 proof to kill my nuts and my T level would drop. After I was on T I lost the low T symptoms and was doing just fine. and iI a random check of my blood work, the doc said I had a change in my liver panel. He took me off All T. My T level went from 789ng/dl tl 38ng/dl and put me back on T. the endocrinologist put me back on T and said don't worry about it

My cat had that many years ago. I had to force feed her, by mixing up special food in a blender and squirting it down her throat with a huge syringe. Lots of "fun".

If you read my earlier posts I was surgically castrated for a medical non-cancer reason this year.
After you destroyed your nuts what did you experience?
I have not had an experience of no testosterone (yet).
I have been on Androgel and my blood tests for testosterone have gone as high as 295 and as low as 35 all the while taking Androgel.
When it was at 295 my physician said I was at normal level but I disagree.
From what I read one should have a T level of higher than 300.
Right now I feel like I have a libido that is edging. it is there, teasing me, but not rising to a full blown libido event.
My liver panel is just fine.
I am at a point now where I want my physician to increase my Androgel prescription so I can achieve a T level over 300.
If that helps get me over the libido edging fence, without any negative side effects, great.
If he won't or if he does but it is of no help, than I will just bite the bullet and stop taking Androgel all together.
Having no libido at all would be better than being in a state of almost aroused, but not being able to achieve fulfillment.
The side effects of having no T are of concern, but not at this time.
