Hello,
   I was diagnosed with prostatitis before hypogonadism. I was on Androgel
for two years. When I first started, my prostate did hurt some, but cleared
up. I did have several prostatitis attacks while on the Androgel. Has your
endo tested your pituitary?
   After the two years of Androgel my hematocrit rose to dangerous levels,
so I was taken off the Androgel. The next three months were the worse of my
life (constant fatigue, sore muscles, no sexual desire) and my prostatitis
flared up (my PSA went up to 17). This happens (I was told) because your
body stops producing testosterone while your on the Androgel, so when you
stop, you have zero testosterone until your testes start working again.
Which, they say will only go back to where they were before the Androgel,
but my last testosterone test was normal. And, I now feel better than with
the Androgel.
   At the risk of being flamed, what has seem to help me was not the
antibiotics that the Doctor's gave me, but high doses of vitamin C, and
euchinea. I also believe the constant dose of Androgel was holding back, so
to speak. I was only good for sex once a week, and could not improve my
exercise routine. Since being off the Androgel, and have my testes working
again, sex and exercise have been better.

Hope this Helps,
Larry
