Me Says: Androgel has raised my t-levels from 143 to 1000, caused me severe night sweats, and has shrunk my testicles by at least 25 percent. Erections are still difficult. Herbal meds work but give me headaches. I quit for 2 weeks. My sack hangs lower, my testicles seem slightly larger, but I am very down mentally. What are my alternatives? Is there such a thing as Androgel cycling? Age 56 -supposedly with a mix of primary and secondary hypogonadism (and gynecomastia / bitch tits).
