A member asked:
I have low t. no help from andro gel. on a statin-crestor - chloresterol is 124. can low c and statin be part of my low t problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Hi. No, as far as we have evidence to verify, cholesterol in that range does not cause low testosterone. Testes are capable of synthesizing all the cholesterol they need for steroidogenesis. I'm curious about your statement that Androgel didn't help. If testosterone deficiency is the problem, adequate testosterone replacement is the solution. There is a dose-response curve. Was your level normal?

Can I take a different statin after developing rhabdomyalysis from Lipitor, (atorvastatin) then Crestor?
Can statins (Lipitor and Crestor specifically) cause changes in taste? Many foods (either acidic foods or certain proteins, I can't isolate it) that I once enjoyed are distasteful. Other foods taste normal. The statins are the only consistent change.
