Statin use and low testosterone?

Postby bomber70 » Thu Apr 06, 2006 4:59 pm

I am 36 years old and was diagnosed with very low testosterone about a year ago. Never had a problem until I was on statins (lots of things changed). Now I have to take 200 mg of injectible steroids every week, administered by my new physician, to feel normal. Has anyone else had a testosterone drop while on Statins? Wondering if its a coincidence or related... I took statins on and off for 2 years.

Thanks.

Hi Bomber,

Please read Dr Graveline's article:
"Libido and Statins"
Your low levels of testosterone are NOT a coincidence:
