Low testosterone, low libido, penis enlarger pills: Inside Epstein's medical files

Newly released medical records add a disturbing new layer to the already sordid story of Jeffrey Epstein, revealing years of chronically low testosterone, repeated complaints of low libido and emails showing he was sent information about penis enlargement pills.

The files, released as part of a massive US Department of Justice document dump, show Epstein’s testosterone levels were consistently far below the normal range for years, according to lab results and correspondence with his doctors.

In one email from 2014, his doctor told him bluntly that his testosterone still low 142. Three years later, the same physician delivered worse news, writing that Epstein’s levels had dropped further, to 125.

For context, the American Urological Association says testosterone below 300 is generally considered deficient.

Epstein himself appeared frustrated but conflicted about treatment. Writing to a doctor in the early hours of April 24, 2015, he pointed to his long-running condition and questioned whether time was catching up with him.

“As you can see from the time stamp my sleep pattern is not wonderful,” Epstein wrote at 3 a.m. “I am hesitant to start a regimen of hormones. My low testosterone has been there for 15 years. Mechanic view is that it has caught up to me?”

When doctors suggested hormone-related treatments such as Clomid, Epstein later claimed he regretted trying them. In a 2016 email, he said he had stopped the medication altogether.

“Stopped the clomid. The water retention and fat around the waist made it as if I was pregnant,” he wrote, calling it a “giant mistake.”

EMAILS ABOUT SEXUAL HEALTH

The files also show Epstein repeatedly raised concerns about his libido and other sexual health issues. In 2012, an email from someone identified as “Dr. Maxman” landed in his inbox, offering information about “max penis enlarger pills.” The records do not show whether Epstein ever pursued the products.

Medical correspondence included in the document dump also points to a lengthy history of infections. Epstein referenced gonorrhoea in emails to doctors and described test results showing parasites, blood in his urine and a diminished urine stream. In one message to a New York physician in 2016, he summarized his condition in stark terms.

“Urine stream diminished, testosterone levels very low, i.e. 125 same for ten years,” he wrote, before adding, “Sherlock? how can we work together?”

The same set of records shows Epstein sought information about freezing his sperm, another detail that surfaced as investigators sifted through years of private communications.

Epstein died in federal custody in August 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, in a death ruled a suicide. He had previously pleaded guilty in 2008 to state charges of soliciting a minor for prostitution.

Owner did not immediately comment, despite public pleas from journalists asking him to intervene.
