I'm doing testosterone replacement therapy. Have been doing so for over a year-and-a-half. I inject myself with Cypionate, a form of testosterone with the same chemical formulation of natural human testosterone, twice a week. (I used to do it once a week, but decided to take half the dose twice a week instead. I just like it better.)
Anyway, if a guy doesn't have prostate problems/cancer/issues, then extra testosterone is not supposed to increase your chance of prostate cancer or problems or issues in the future. In fact, medical studies reported by the New England Journal of Medicine have stated that the opposite is true and that if, done under medical supervision, an older man maintains a level of testosterone equivalent to that of a 25 year old, then his chances of having prostate cancer, etc, actually decreases.
The number to look at is the free testosterone. That is the greater indicator of what will produce muscle growth and promote fat loss. There are two different scales. The one that I'm accustomed to says the normal level of free test is 7.2-24. A 25 year old, however, should have a level of about 35. My levels went from 7.2 to 35 in a matter of nine months. At the six-month point, I had my second body scan and had lost six pounds of fat and gained twelve pounds of muscle. For me that was pretty incredible.
Also, with the increase of testosterone one will also see an increase of Human Growth Hormone. This aids in fat loss and muscle growth as well.
My blood tests consistently come back positive, meaning there are no issues with PSA levels, cholesterol levels, etc. Everything thus far has been nothing but positive with the exception of elevated estrogen production. For that I take Arimidex which blocks the formation of estrogen. My blood tests show it's doing exactly that.
So stop worrying if you have high levels of testosterone. It's a good thing. The problems generally start when your testosterone begins to drop.
