hypogonadism, male
"I was on put on Testim because there is apparently a link between people taking opioid pain medications and a loss of testosterone production.  I didn't wash my arms before I applied it and used 5g a day and I was right in the target zone.  I didn't like my shrunken testicles nor did I like the stickiness nor having to rub it in.  So I stopped using it and was fine for a bit but again dropped below the target.  So I started again but washed my arms prior to applying and found that it shot my way over the range.  I didn't initially make the connection between the two so now I am trialing using 1/2 tub a day which eliminates the sticky feeling, easier to rub in and the non-decaying 1/2 life is a huge plus and I only smell it when I apply it."
