Newly released Justice Department records ofEpstein-related documentsand past survivor testimony have revived scrutiny of Jeffrey Epstein's private medical struggles, including chronically low testosterone levels and graphic claims about his anatomy made by women who accused him of abuse.
The documents, made public recently as part of broader file disclosures, include lab results and emails showing Epstein sought treatment for hormonal deficiencies for years. At the same time, civil depositions and interviews with survivors have resurfaced, containing disturbing descriptions of what some alleged victims called a physical deformity.
According toDepartment of Justicerecords spanning roughly 2014 to 2017, Epstein's testosterone levels were repeatedly tested between 125 and 142 ng/dL. The American Urological Association considers levels below 300 ng/dL to be low for adult men.
In emails to physicians, Epstein acknowledged the issue had persisted for more than a decade. In a 2015 message sent in the early hours of the morning to one of his doctors, he referenced poor sleep patterns and expressed hesitation about starting hormone therapy, writing that his low testosterone had been present for '15 years.'
Medical records show doctors discussed testosterone replacement therapy and clomiphene citrate, commonly known as Clomid, which can stimulate the body's own hormone production.
According to reports, Epstein tried treatment but discontinued it. In a 2016 email to another physician, he complained about side effects from Clomid, including water retention and fat accumulation around his waist, writing that it made him feel 'as if I was pregnant.'
The records also reflect concerns about fertility. Lab notes referenced low sperm motility, and separate documents confirm Epstein froze his sperm through a California cryobank.
Alongside low testosterone, Epstein wrote to doctors about diminished libido. Low testosterone can affect sexual desire and function, according to urological experts, though medical professionals emphasise that hormonal conditions do not explain or excuse criminal behaviour.
The emails show Epstein weighing whether long-term hormone therapy was worth the side effects. There is no indication in the records that he maintained consistent treatment.
Other medical entries in the files includetreatment for gonorrheain 2016 and parasitic infections, as well as testing related to urinary issues. These records confirm medical care but do not address anatomical structure.
