What Do Low Testosterone Levels Indicate?
my testosterone level is almost 0 .....it s WAY down at the bottom of the L -for Low-range on my blood test results....I m a 63 yr. old man and no longer have any armpit hair......my M.D. wrote a script for Clomid - clomiphene -but isn t this Estrogen? He says it s the safest way to increase my Testosterone level. In the last 6 mos. , I ve repeatedly asked him for T. injections, but he refuses,citing the risk of cardiovascular side-effects & possible strokes.as a vegan,i use soymilk on my cereal & I ve read that IT contains Estrogen.what s a SAFE way to increase my testosterone level...?? this is causing a lot of anxiety..thanks

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Its good to know that you are a Vegan. Before taking injections to increase your testosterone level you should go for screening tests to rule out any developing Cardiac problem. You can see another doctor for there are many medications (injections) to increase testosterone in men. In the meantime eat food that will help to boost testosterone. D-Aspartic acid, vitamin D, Fenugreek, olive oil, pomegranate, coconut, ginger, beans, nuts, fresh fruits and veggies. Avoid addictions of any kind, food cooked in the microwave and low carbohydrate meals.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care.
