Androcur does more than just lower T so it may not be the best to test drive what castration is like. http://press.endocrine.org/doi/abs/10.1 ... 9.SAT-0111

Symptoms of high prolactin:

In women, a high blood level of prolactin often causes hypoestrogenism with anovulatory infertility and a decrease in menstruation. In some women, menstruation may disappear altogether (amenorrhoea). In others, menstruation may become irregular or menstrual flow may change. Women who are not pregnant or nursing may begin producing breast milk. Some women may experience a loss of libido (interest in sex) and breast pain, especially when prolactin levels begin to rise for the first time, as the hormone promotes tissue changes in the breast. Intercourse may become difficult or painful because of vaginal dryness.

In men, the most common symptoms of hyperprolactinaemia are decreased libido, sexual dysfunction (in both men and women), erectile dysfunction, infertility, and gynecomastia. Because men have no reliable indicator such as menstruation to signal a problem, many men with hyperprolactinaemia being caused by a pituitary adenoma may delay going to the doctor until they have headaches or eye problems caused by the enlarged pituitary pressing against the adjacent optic chiasm. They may not recognize a gradual loss of sexual function or libido. Only after treatment do some men realize they had a problem with sexual function.

Thank you for you post .It´s something that I have wished aware. there´s also a study that shows that Cyproterone acetate increase abnormally the size and the number of prolactin producer cells in pituitary of rehsus monkeys. oestradiol naturally has Per se an effect on the increase of production in prolactin however, when is combined with cyproterone or other porgestins, the effect on pituitary prolactin cells is enhaced. So can lead to develop some undesirable side effects.I have a prolactinoma but I can´t be sure If androcur was the cause,probably I had developed It even without hormones, probably other hormones contributed as well. I don´t say that do not take androcur but ask to a doctor or being under medical supervision would be the best. If not, making blood test previously and then once in a while to monitor the things.
