Hi guys, (girls too),

Before I start, I just wanted to say, whatever works for you is probable what you need to do.

That being said, yesterday I went to my doctor, God I love my doctor. I took with me a list of that I call "internet urban myths".

One of the seven or so questions I had was “is not ejaculating unhealthy?”. Her answer was NO. That the body is very good at self regulating. She told me that if you need your prostate “cleaned out” it would do it on it’s own. (wet dreams, who knew). (just a note, I’m not trying to talk anyone out of jacking off, but for those of us who don’t want to do that, I just wanted to voice an opinion of a medical professional).

Now on to the rest of my appointment. My blood test showed, I’m in great shape. I’ve always been in great health, except for having cancer twice. My panel showed I’m totally normal for someone with only one kidney and that’s the problem. My T is 395, and more importantly my free T is 82. Way into the normal male region. For me that sucks. Anyhow, she upped my spironolactone to 50mgs and said next month, if my blood test comes back “good” she’ll up it to 100mgs.

I’ve notice no real change on 25mgs, except I pee about twice as much, she told me that well in time moderate. I still think of sex way to much and get semi hard’ons in the early morning.

Some of the other things on my urban myth list are:

Does tucking cause health problems. Answer: shouldn’t, but one must be careful about mister winkie getting to friendly with mister brown. You got that right? She also said some people get sores on there penis or scrotum from rubbing. I think if you leave hair on your scrotum and/or talcum often, that should give you some protection.

I also asked, does anti androgens shrink your testicles and penis. She said generally after extend use testicle usually shrink, how much, everybody is different. Not so much for the penis, but, a little shrinkage should be expected. Being me, I asked, is there something that does (shrink penis and testicles), answer: no. Dam.

I notice a lot of TG girls take Finasterid and Spironolactone. They use Finasterid mostly for hair (DHT inhibitor, more hair on the head less hair on the body) plus it‘s anti androgen effect, I asked about that and she was not to hot about it, said the side effect to benefit issue is in doubt and one big side effect is it shows a big red flag to your insurance company. I’d hate it if my insurance company decide not to pay my doctor visit bills. So much for Finasteride (for me).

I hope some of this information is of some help to some people out there. I plan on keeping up this thread from time to time to report on my life without T. (unless I get threatening letters to quit boring the heck out of you).

Pauline.
