Proper T pre TRT labs would be:
TT
FT
E2
LH/FSH
AST/ALT
CBC
fasting glucose
fasting cholesterol
PSA
TSH
DHEA-S
Symptoms:
low libido
reduced sexual function
short tempered, intolerant, moody
low energy, initiative
fat gain
loss of hair below the knees
sparse outer eyebrows ← thyroid issue - also then test fT3, fT4 [not T3, T4]
You can learn a lot that you need to know and can easily know more than most doctors. Finding a TRT doc is the biggest problem. Endo’s and urologists are rather bad as a group.
When posting labs - we always need the lab ranges.
Getting labs done on your own is a problem in your state. Are you close to a state border?
