Did you apply things to the testicles?

I have applied pansterone on there before maybe 5 times, but haven't done so in well over a year, or even 18 months. I highly doubt a couple of drops of preg and dhea all that time ago would be a cause. A drop or two with c. 10% absorption seems like a very very low dose.Did you apply things to the testicles?
That's awesome that you're getting checked dude. I hope everything goes well for you.@BigShoes I'm doing a testicular ultrasound today, as I have low T issues. I examined my testicles, they visually seem fine, your post got me vigilant.
Have you had trouble with libido/ erections?
Ray would never recommend a substance like thyroid if it had any potential to do this.Tumors can form very quickly e.g. radiation exposure.
I'm so tired. So loud here. It's 7:45am, so loud.
Thanks for this. Yes I was really hoping thyroid would be the added secret weapon on top of everything I was already doing.Ray would never recommend a substance like thyroid if it had any potential to do this.
Look at his work against estrogen et al.
Just because it makes sense or was something said on the forum; i always compare it against his work and the studies he sites.
With that
I still don’t endorse the use of thyroid- for the reason stated above
(I believe it exacerbates the stress response in stressed / underfed individuals)
That's actually super interesting thanks so much. I thought that would be impossible without TRT.There is a guy on Twitter @yoursimmo he had testicular cancer and follows a peat approach he has a natural testosterone of 900 or something with one testicle. Might be worth a look. Best of luck.
Sorry, realised I didn't answer the last question. Yes I have.@BigShoes I'm doing a testicular ultrasound today, as I have low T issues. I examined my testicles, they visually seem fine, your post got me vigilant.

That basically leaves one option - testicular cancer. Especially since there are 4.
Cause - cynomel and cynoplus??
I have been ill for a long time. General hypothyroid symptoms and low virility etc. Etc. I have been using Ray Peats ideas around nutrition since c. Early 2020 I would guess.
I tried everything under the sun before thyroid supplementation because I was scared to take it. I did my best to improve for around 2 years - but my symptoms only got worse.
After speaking with members here, I finally made the decision to try thyroid hormone supplementation - cynomel and cynoplus. I started with 1/6 of a cynomel and 1/6 (c.10mcg t3 20mcg t4) of a cynoplus and tapered up from there to 1/3 of each (c. 20mcg t3 and 40mcg t4)
In a previous thread I made, I asked whether exogenous thyroid could cause gynecomastia (an estrogenic symptom) and why - because I was experiencing nipple itching upon commencing use of cynomel/plus. There wasn't much conclusion, but @EustaceBagge hypothesised an interesting theory (loose explanation) that the increase in metabolism caused a release in tissue bound estrogen which then entered the blood stream. If the liver function is not good enough to clear this estrogen boost, estrogenic symptoms may occur. Interesting point, over time, the nipple itch disappeared though... and I forgot about this.
How to treat or manage??
Progesterone's opposition to those early excitatory effects of estrogen are so basic, that there shouldn't be any difficulty in thinking of it as an antiestrogen, that stops cell division primarily by opposing the excitatory effects of estrogen and other mitogens. Progesterone's opposition to the calcium-activating and phosphorylating effects of estrogen affects everything in the cell, according to the cell's specific nature.
The NCI researchers (Hertz, et al., 1951) treated 17 women with visible cancers of the uterine cervix that had been confirmed by biopsies. They were given daily intramuscular injections of 250 mg of progesterone in vegetable oil. Although they described the treatment as "massive dosage with progesterone," it didn't prevent menstruation in any of the women who had been menstruating before the treatment began. During a healthy pregnancy, a woman produces more progesterone than that.
Their article includes some photographs of cervical tumors before treatment, and after 31 days, 50 days, and 65 days of progesterone treatment. The improvement is clear. The examining physicians described softening of the tumor, and stopping of bleeding and pain.
"In eleven of the 17 treated patients visible and palpable evidence of regressive alteration of the tumor mass could be demonstrated. This consisted of (a) distinct reduction in size of the visible portion of the cancer as well as reduction of the palpable extent of the mass, (b) reduction in vascularity and friability of the visible lesion with a clearly demonstrable epithelization of previously raw surfaces and (c) markedly increased pliability of the previously rigid and infiltrated parametria."
rays advice on an approach for after removal, if gonna remove,There is a guy on Twitter @yoursimmo he had testicular cancer and follows a peat approach he has a natural testosterone of 900 or something with one testicle. Might be worth a look. Best of luck.
