15 years ago after an injury led to an orchiectomy, my testosterones values plummeted. After being a lifelong fitness enthusiast, athlete and martial arts coach I found myself lethargic, slow to recover ad injury prone. I initially tried injections, Androgel and other testosterone Rxs but the cost, inconvenience, skin irritations and inconsistent absorption left me frustrated. A doctor prescribed compounded BHT cream and it was a dramatic improvement. My testosterone levels returned to normal, there was no skin irritation and the cost was much more reasonable. It would be an incredible disservice to eliminate this option for HRT patients.
