yes ive heard and actually saw a movie explaining the pot and monkey thing, anything to pass their own agenda is usually how docs get more money and crap like that, so i guess i just read it wrong, but u are saying this:
Well it DOESN'T! Thats right Testosterone ( im not referring to other drugs simply TRT since that is what we are talking about) does not raise bloods thickness or consistency.
so test may not directly cause blood to thicken, i agree, BUT is it indirectly causing it because of these 2 items:??
testosterone causes Erythocytosis which is an increase in Red blood cells" actually leads to what u are saying:
Polycythemia vera also may result in production of too many of the other types of blood cells — white blood cells and platelets. But it's the excess red blood cells that thicken your blood and cause most of the concerns associated with polycythemia vera.
this is what id like to know because it sounds like the extra red blood cells the test is making or causing ur body to make is indirectly causing polycythemia, as read above ^^?
am i off on this?? i have to ask because it sounds like the extra red cells are causing the effects of the ploy, which in turn says extra thick blood...
To answer your question as simple as possible and for everyone else. NO. We could do a bone marrow tap if youd like (me, no thanks) to make sure you dont have that but PCV is not caused by testosterone. Think about when were kids. Do our DR's monitor our HGB regularly in the worry our body is putting out too much testosterone and it will convert over to PCV or increase either of the two? FYI PCV is also very rare Bone marrow disease so why are our doctors so worried about a very rare bone marrow disease in mainly men on testosterone. Things that make you take a step back and go hmmmm...
What I learned is one does not cause the other or vise versa. Just because one test shows the results of another, its not the same thing. The simplest way to know, keep and eye on high platelet count. If you see that, then you for further testing. Otherwise, leave it alone unless you want your brother to have better workouts then you
