I cannot fix the oil spill or feed all the hungry people on the planet, but I can take care of my own body. Some lowering of hormone levels is natural part of aging, but very low testosterone is a real medical problem, not some paranoid concern of spoiled rich people. If you had these symptoms yourself you would not be so flippant about it. In fact, low testosterone can even be a symptom of something much worse, like a brain tumor. If you are a male with very low testosterone, you need to know why and then you can consider treatment options. Sensible and informed should be “insensitive and uniformed”.

We live in UK and his level was 10? He has had testicular cancer and had a testicle removed but is now cancer free. About last Oct ish he started gradually withdrawing from me which has culminated in him leaving me and kids 2 months ago. We are devastated and just can't understand it. I know he has struggled with whole cancer thing (he is 39) and also was made redundant so with cancer treatment had not worked for 18 months. He says he has no interest in sex whatsoever and just feels numb towards me. I beleive he did truly love me before this despite as his issues in his head and he can't explain it anymore than i can. I did a lot of research on low t and a hormonal website suggested he could be low on dopamine which could affect his feelings for me? It just seems more than a coincedence that his decline in testosterone has come at the same time as his withdrawal from me. As yet consultant is not prepared to treat him as he says his readings are in normal range. How can they be normal if he has no libido? He denies being depressed but he has now ticked two boxes...leaving us and getting a job. Before he did leave he seemed very low, sat on computer all day, did nothing at home, didn't like going out in large groups but didn't want to be on his own despite shutting himself off in study all day. He has had cognitive therapy which he believed helped but is still convinced cancer will come back and kill him. Just can't believe the way he has become...not horrible just cold and emotionless and also leaving his life and setting up his new one 2 hours away! He was alwyas such a fantastic Dad, now sees them once a week. My question is do you think low t could be behind all this or is his behaviour too extreme? It is totally out of character. Trouble is he has no idea what his levels were before therefore what is normal for him. June seems a long way off but i am hanging on in there hoping fro a drastic change of heart following trstosterone injections if consultant agrees to this. In my H's mind our relationship is over as things stand. Any thought would be so so appreciated. Many thanks My H was diagnosed with low t end of last year. We live in UK and his level was 10?

If you suspect he has low T, then that's a medical problem, and I would say 'how would you approach him about getting help if you thought he had cancer'? It's the same deal - it's a medical condition that is not his fault, so bear that in mind when you approach the subject and see if it changes how you guys interact? One other thought - you can test a guy's testosterone level at home using test kits from folks like ZRT labs. Maybe you should just ask him if he would give you a sample in the privacy of your own home and that you will deal with it? Going to the doctor is the big barrier for guys. We really hate it. I'm thinking that I need to create a forum where other people can talk about these types of problems - I actually get lots of messages from women via the 'contact me' page with exactly the same problem, and it feels like we need a community where you can help each other. One of you will crack this problem, and it would be great if you could share. I'll look into this over the next few weeks. If nothing else, the forum would provide a place for women who aren't getting any to be hit on by guys who are on testosterone therapy? :-) Take care - keep me posted! Hi n,
