A member asked:
How do i lower my testosterone without taking birth control? the risk of blood clots with my family history makes me nervous.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Meds/Weight/Diet: Spirinolactone and propecia are medication that can potentially decrease your testosterone. These should only be recommended by someone who knows how to prescribe them. Weight loss is also very helpful. Your diet of course would matter quite a lot as well.
