So .. is the low testosterone in the elderly male .. due to .. the
estrogen being released to control the increased red blood cells /
viscosity of the blood.. ?

And by replacing the testosterone .. the red blood cells are NOW ..
increased into .. erythrocytosis .. ?

And also might explain WHY 70% of transvestites don't even KNOW they
are .. until they reach .. 'elderly' .. ?

Extraprostatic complications of testosterone replacement therapy.
Volpi R, Coiro V, Chiodera P, Saccani-Jotti G, Delsignore R

Testosterone therapy has been reported to be useful in the treatment of
hypogonadism and partial androgen deficiency of the aging male (PADAM)
syndrome. Testosterone administration is needed in order to maintain
secondary sexual characteristics, muscle mass, bone mineral density,
cognitive function and sexual drive. Newer testosterone-containing
compounds, particularly gel preparations, are known to produce more
stable circulating testosterone levels than im-administered drugs, with
scarce side-effects and good patient compliance. All patients treated
with testosterone must undergo a careful follow-up to prevent the
development of the major side effects, such as sleep-apnea,
erythrocytosis, cardiovascular diseases and the alterations of hepatic
function and plasma lipid concentrations.

I doubt it. One study shows that as men age LH becomes less effective
in inducing production of testosterone. In addition, there is probably
less production of biologically active LH.

But ... the incidence of .. urinary incontinence .. ALSO rises ..
leading one to believe it is related to vasopressin and vasopressin has
been shown to be decreased in those with polyuria which has been shown
to be related to polycythemia / erythrocytosis / increased red blood
cell production / hyperviscosity.

That doesn't have anything to do with testosterone levels.

Except for those that retain abnormal amounts of iron, most people can
reduce their iron by donating blood and not taking iron supplements.

That site concerns those in a nursing home where people will have
multiple ailments.
