question from a user
Other than blood donation, how to lower hematocrit?
AlphaMD's Answer
Typically the next best thing to do would be to review your Free Testosterone & compare your previous TT & Free Test (if you have it) levels. A lot of time if you convert fairly well it's one of the reasons that you're having that hematocrit level. Tt also means you probably have more wiggle room in lowering your dose & still having your Free Testosterone in a great place than you think you do. Sometimes dropping 10-30mg a week may be all you need to find your sweet spot. Though you would still want to donate blood to get the value back under control initially (or if you can for drug use or condition, get a therapeutic blood draw order).
