  • No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
  • No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
  • Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making

Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Testicle pain

Joe,
My doc said that a T of less than 20 was castrate level. Normal levels are a few hundred.

Alan,
You've only been off ADT for 2 months. My T didn't come back for several months. As for the pain, I didn't feel any pain at all during or after EBRT/ADT.

OK Paul,
What are your units?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Testicle pain

I don't know. I saw the lab report and it just had numbers. I did some searching to find normal levels and I got this for 40-59 year olds:

350–890 ng/dL (12.15–30.88 nmol/ L)

Castrate levels are:

Less than 30 ng/dL (less than 1.04 nmol/L)

So I guess my lab uses ng/dL and your uses nmol/L?
