Title: Low dose HRT after orchiectomy?
Post by: Charlie Nicki on July 10, 2018, 12:15:18 PM
Did any of you decide to lower your hormones after orchi? I'm contemplating this. I feel too emotional after the orchi.

Your endo will probably lower your dose anyway. I found after my zoladex implant (which basically turns off t production) I was given a much lower dose of e and its actually more effective. If e isn't having to fight t you don't need as much. Better all round... lower risks. :)

This sounds good! I think I need to lower it a bit, my emotions are all over the place.
