Hello,
Every bit of info helps. To be clear, I was speaking of Cyproterone Acetate, an anti-androgen. I abbreviated it a bit. Sorry for the confusion. I agree, age has a great effect on a great many things. I also give credit to the various anti-andros that I have tried. The fellas have decidely decreased in size, and occasionally have to be prodded to come out of hiding. A year and a half ago, this wasn't the case.
I hadn't intended to have it checked, wouldn't quite have known how to ask without seeming to admit to some sort of problem. However, glad she did. Now it's not on me, and I can feel free to brush it off.
You are correct, SP simply stops the conversion to DHT. At the T level I have, it's probably not a concern. By the way, at my age, 61, a level between 200-300 is considered hypogonadal, and thus the requirement for the doc to give me "counseling". Perhaps I should get the shots, so there would be more T to be converted to E? But, it would probably be synthetic, and would it convert the same? At a level of 20, I wonder how big the syringe would be to bring it up. 1/2 Liter?? PJ
