Doctors can be real pains at times, especially in regards to
testosterone therapy.(You can be sure any doctor that suffers from
ailments requiring test injections damn sure take it themselves.)
The real problem is the law. Test is on the class A felony controlled
substance list, therefore doctors have to go through lengthy paperwork
and scrutiny if they prescribe it. Most refuse to treat patients that
require testosterone supplementation just to avoid dealing with the
DEA.
Pathetic to say the least.
sounds like your Dr. doesn't care if you have normal sexual function
or not.(a prevelant attitude I've found. The medical opinion is that
Sex is the only biological function that's purely voluntary, therefore
you shouldn't bitch if you doctor decides that you don't need to have
it anymore.
The issue of Test causing cancer is debateable at best. Virtually all
clinical studies have yet to conclusively prove that test alone causes
cancer.
Most who contract cancers are genetically predisposed in the first
place.
Testosterone does accelerate many bodily functions, i.e makes the
bodily endocrine functions function much as they did earlier in life.
This depends much on the dose rate and cycles though.
It'd take very high doses to put a strain on critical bodily
functions.
Certainly more than it takes to achieve the desired benefits from
test.(used to be that athletes that self-dosed used the "more is
better" philosophy. Clinical studies showed that "stacking" and
mega-dosing only curtailed natural test production with virtually no
muscle gains past the 1-2 cc dose rates.)
If you've made the decision to risk any possible cancer risks in order
to have test than your Dr. should be sympathetic. After all most men
would rather have some sexual function etc... than a long life with
none.
You're PSA's are quite low, my are typically around 3 and my doctors
don't panic over it.(Trus showed a smaller than normal prostate for my
age range, just alot of calcifications.)
There are other, more conclusive tests that'll rule out any possible
cancer. Have you doctor run them if he's wanting to stop your test
injections out of his fears of cancer.
As I've said in an earlier post, virtually all the pro athletes I've
known over the years are healthy as horses and much stronger than many
half their age.(My father was a power lifter and played football for
army way back in the 30's. when he died in his late 60's he was
married to a woman barely past 30. He exercised strenously most of his
life and was stronger than most men half his age. He didn't use test,
but was lucky to have a very high output of natural testosterone,
something I inherited to a lesser degree.)
I know they took test on a regular basis, some way too much.
Yet I don't know of one who contracted cancer or suffered any bad side
effects.(Many are like my dad, married to women much younger, some are
still fathering children. Even into their 60's etc...)
Consider the fact that in the 60's/70's these guys were taking the
harsh stuff too. DES and Hormone II, the rawest of Dianabol or even
class B anabolics.
You'd most likely be on Anathate or Ciprionate. A very close synthetic
match to regular male test.

Large ejaculate volume is nothing unusual, I had enormous output most
of my active sex life.(I was precocious, hitting functional puberty at
11 and becoming sexually active with partners at 12. Had 3 marriages
and was very active sexually up until my late 40's when my problems
started.)
Seeing a drop in volume is one of the signs of either health problems
or advancing age. The size of the prostate has little to do with
volume, in fact it seems to follow an inverse rule.(The prostate is
smaller in youth, yet puts out greater volumes. As it never stops
growing over one's lifetime is larger in later years, yet typically
secretes less volume.)
If it's a symptom of medical problems only a doctor and the right
tests will confirm.
