Hi Folks

I came across this on the net yesterday - something I'd never heard of before:

Apparently, having a varicocele (a sort of varicose vein in your scrotum) can lower you testosterone production, because the mass of blood in it can heat your ball up more than it should be.

A varicocoele can be fixed fairly easily, so various urologists' web-sites say, and then the T production might increase.

1/10 or 1/5 (depending what you read) of blokes have a varicocoele. I've known that I've had one since the age of 11. It was checked out then, and I got it looked at again in my early thirties - both times told nothing to worry about. I've never had my test levels measured - nor thought about it much ...

Have any of yous heard about this? Any ideas, opinions, etc?

You have one small dose of TRT a year?

Wouldn't that just give you like a 2 to 5 day boost, out of 365 days?

Sorry I wasn't clear myself.

I go on a low dose cycle of 8 weeks only, as a boost. There's no crash / sides Just feel great and continue training normal for the remainder of the year. I use small amounts as my body responds to it well. Other people may be different.

So you're not on TRT. You are just doing a cycle once a year.
 
Drinking more than two drinks per night is far more unhealthy than a TRT dose of testosterone
Why would having testosterone in the normal range be dangerous?
