What Causes Tremors, Hot Flashes, Lack Of Libido While Treating Testicular Cancer?

m a 54 year old male. I have had bi-lateral testicular cancer. I have started pellet implanted in my buttocks. My doctor is trying to get 6 months out of this, but I don t think the pellets will last that long. This is my 3rd time to have the pellets, and this time at 5months my T level was 160. I have had several episodes shakes, hot flashes and no sex drive. I tries talking to my doctor, but he said it will be OK. What should I do?

Hello,

Hot flashes, tremors and lack of sex drive are all side effects of treatment of testicular cancer. All the symptoms would subside once the treatment gets completed.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
