TEST and Alpha Male

Hey guys need a little help here, about 2 years ago I had hernia surgery â??belly buttonâ?? and a varicose seal â??nutâ?? fixed and some digestion issues. Before the injury I was in great shape and worked out 6 days a week. I had my t-levels tested right after I got the hernia and they were close to 500 â??total I thinkâ?? .it took a while to recover from all this but I got back to the gym.

Last march â??ishâ?? I started to feel weak and tried, so I got my t-levels checked, it was about 320ish.so the doctor wanted me to come back in 6 months. over the course of that 6 months I started using Alpha Male â??and have before very good productâ?? and got into good shape.after a few weeks off of Alpha Male I got my t levels tested again and they dropped  to 220ish,yes I did feel weak and foggy headed ect.so to day about 2 months after my last test I had it rechecked and my levels went back up to 320ish.

Does Alpha Male lower your bodys own test production? I was under the impression that it did not,but rather forced your body to make more. Also I know that im on the low end of the test scale and my doctor wrote me a prescription for andro gel.but when I got to the pharmacy my insurance did not cover the gel.it was 450$ for 1 bottle and no I did not pay for it.

I might have to have my hernia redone because there is still some pulling and pain in that area,and that pain stops me from doing a lot of squats, deadlifths ect. I asked form the mesh and they gave me the stitches, go figure right lol.

thatâ??s aot to take in but any info anyone has would be great. Does Alpha Male lower your bodyâ??s own test production? I feel good when I take it like shit when I donâ??t.how long should a typical cycle last?is there a cheaper way to get real test from a doctor then paying for 450$ gels. Like I said any help would be great.I should add I just turned 36 years old a few weeks ago and not can tell me why my t levels have drop.

AlphaMale boosted my T. I would try lots of other things before going on T. Read the stickies, get the testing done, post here for feedback.

you gave me little to no info.i did post my #'s and gave and over view of my problem.my t levels were about 320ish before i started using a-male last spring.then this past November i was re tested about 2 weeks after stopping a-male and my t levels dropped to 220ish.this week i was retested again and my t levels are back up to 320ish.is this from the a-male?of maybe more so my diet i was on over the summer?

i also had a varicose seal in my left nut treated and a small one in my right nut lef t untouched.i asked my endo doctor of they can effect t-levels and she said no,but i have read different.

what would you recommend instead of trt?just staying on a-male?another product?

A word of caution about hernia repair and mesh vs just stitches. I had a repair about 15 months ago - with mesh. I now have trouble doing much ab work without getting very sore in the area of the repair. I’m quite sure the hernia has not come back.

I think the problem is inflexible scar tissue around the (also inflexible) mesh. I have the impression that the scaring is worse with the mesh than it would have been without. The mesh covers a very large area of my abdomen. Judging by the feel of it, I’d say about 6" long. The recurrence rate is much higher without mesh, but the mesh has its downside too…

you didn’t post shit for info. Hard for anyone to give you any advise with just T numbers. Read the stickies and get the blood work recommended. Post the details here and others can provide feedback.
