The symptoms I experienced when I had a low T count are labeled with a / L , and
The symptoms I am experiencing now, on testosterone gel, are labeled with a / T.
--------------------
Effects of low testosterone in men may include: (not all are present in any single individual)
Word Finding difficulty / L
Dry Skin
Cracking nails / L
Fatigue / L / T
Muscle loss/atrophy / L
Frequent urination without infection / T
Getting up at night to urinate / L / T
Dementia-like memory loss / L
Poor sleep secondary to achy muscles / L
Poor libido / L
Erectile Dysfunction / L
Increasing weight
Glucose intolerance (early diabetes)
Cholesterol/Lipid abnormalities / L / T
Slight increase size of breasts
Depression
Anxiety / L
Hot flashes / L
Decrease in beard and body hair growth
Loss of bone mass (osteoporosis ) ??
Difficulty concentrating / L VERY MUCH A PROBLEM
Irritability / L VERY MUCH A PROBLEM
Psychological and relationship problems
Anaemia
Infertility (already was)
Decrease in firmness of testicles (on T gel: decrease in size, increase in firmness, numb)
Impaired growth of the penis and testicles (penis shrank when T was low)

To anyone wanting to be castrated I think this list illustrates a menu of side effects that you may have not known about.

Talk to your Doctor today. Get on SOME sort of HRT. This just sounds awful... And for what its worth I couldn't stand even LOW hormones.

And to think people have their pets neutered. It seems with some animals, it doesn't bother very much, and some get sick as fuck and stay that way for life. My mother let me watch her Dachshund, and he was neutered. He seemed like he felt sick all the time. So I started giving him HRT, and had some astonishing results in his mental health and physical energy. I'm not saying I'm against it for personal choice, but I am against it if it's against a person's will. (or animals) You now that some vets have to put dogs on HRT because they stay sick with weird symptoms? But, as usual, I'm getting off topic... My point is that THIS is tyranny, and apparently, its OK to do against people....

HRT is unnecessary for me. No difference before and after. But then I never had a lot of balls in the first place. I can still sing altosoprano same as before. And my math and other skills have not deteriorated. My map reading skills remain better than 99.9% of the US population and 75% of the world population.

With a regular exercise regime and a healthy diet it is probably quite possible to stay thin.
Before castration my weight stayed right around 155lbs -- now it seems stuck at 210. :O

I am sure with a healthy diet and some active lifestyle or exercise you can maintain a good body weight.

Besides diet and exercise, has any eunuch tried any diet pills for weight loss? As a eunuch my metabolism has slowed and I am 51 too, so my weight is creeping up. I am considering trying something to speed up my metabolism. I realize that we might not be able to say what the products are specifically, but I need some extra help.
