Title: testosterone level in peyronies
Post by: Unknownhide on December 07, 2019, 12:13:24 PM
hello guys
i wonder have anybody considered increasing level of testosterone as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of the case ?
of course i mean to boost testosterone by natural ways not by supplements
will it work?

Unless you are very obese, there doesn't seem to be a natural way to boost testosterone naturally in a way that you would even notice an effect. The only real way to raise it is by doing TRT and it will give you a lot of benefits like building muscle and burning fat, but it won't do much for improving erections in my experience unless you habe true hypogonadism causing your erectile problems. I have been on TRT myself and this has been my experience. In my opinion Androxal would be like the holy grail of TRT because it could improve testosteronw without shutting down your own production. However, this drug hasn't been approved by the FDA a couple years ago and I don't know if it will make a comeback. I certainly hope so as I would definitely take it considering my levels are pretty low and I did look better with higher test levels. Other than that and maybe more energy there isn't much benefit though..

Trust me. None of the supplements you mentioned will have any noticeable effect on your levels at all. Even the most powerfull testosterone boosters and herbs will not raise your levels significantly to the point where you get the same results you would have doing TRT. And even TRT won't do anything for peyronies. I have been on TRT and the progression of peyronies never stopped for me, so I doubt that trying to raise testosterone naturally will give you any noticeable effect. If it did, why would I ever do TRT? I would just raise my levels naturally. Truth is, my levels are actually the same wheter I do everything right and take all kinds of testosterone supplements and workout or when I do nothing. It's the same, no difference. So I did TRT and that of course did raise my levels. But like I said it did nothing except for giving me more muscle.

I agree that in theory it would only help for peyronies but my experience is that it doesn't. Also, many guys here have peyronies and naturally high testosterone levels. There may be a connection, but it's not as significant as you would think.

Not looking to offend you in any way, popopo, but all cases are different and yours seems to be getting worse even after many years with the disease. Right? That's something I've picked up from your own words and stories. Testosterone has a very important role in wound healing and since I developed Peyronie's a few months after a devastating heartbreak (I didn't jack off for months, and when I did I forced myself). My sex-drive was completely dead, and bam I got peyronies after some poor excuses for injuries during this low time. Tomorrow I will attend my meeting with the urologist, and I will also ask him for a testosterone-test along with some other tests. If I find out my levels are low I will either A. Start taking prescription-free testo supplements and start running  or B. Make a schedule and get injections from a doc
I have natural growth still going on since in my late teens. I believe this is a huge benefit when it comes to diseases like this one. If I could boost my own natural process in growing, healing and shaping new healthy tissue with something like more testosterone along with other drugs and supplements, it wouldn't surprise me if I end up healing like a Greek God.
Wish me luck on my appointment, good people.
