    Uk testosterone blood test

    Getting frustrated with my GP recently got blood work done basically got everything except for testosterone blood work everything was fine except my liver is 'slightly inflamed' as she calls it and my plait let are at 105.
    But here's the thing she will not let me get my testosterone blood work done she doesn't know if it free on the nhs I said I'll pay I don't care but then she turned around and said she doesn't think that my GP does that blood work ( although the girl that took my bloods said they do) I'm slowly loosing my patience with them. Is it the test free? And does every GP do it?

    If you tell them you have symptoms of low test they should do it. Or try your local needle exchange. Where in the UK are you?

    Google symptoms of low test and ask her to test you, preferably see a male doctor though. Check your local needle exchange too, there are a few around the country who cater for BBers.

    Another thing I told her is that due to the massive weight loss I went through my test level might've low by then she looked way out of her depth

    I went to my doctor regarding TRT but he was clueless. I was educating him on hormones.

    There are lots of symptoms. I have really low test, and I never had problem getting it up. But libido was non existent, low self esteem, tired, mood swings, emotional. Try listing these things and say you believe it to be low T levels.

    Your doctor will have no idea, so you say you r read up and think that you should have full blood work done.

    Sorry, but what do you mean by "local needle exchange"? I assume it is just BB-gyms, where you can ask people for advice, but I want to make sure.

    Where your local drug addicts go to exchange their old needles for new ones.

    You need to find out why your platelets are down.

    It is very important for your health to have a correct diagnosis and fix it before cycle.

    Well, since your are north of Essex, I am glad you can get free bw, I am in Germany and might have to tell the limp dick story but how can I get them to do the full blood test, like 1. Testosterone , Total
    2. Testosterone, Free
    3. Sensitive E2 Assay (Not basic estradiol, that's for women)
    4. CBC (Compete blood count)
    5. CMP (Comprehensive metabolic panel)
    6. Lipid Profile (post cycle is fine)
    7. LH and FSH (pre-cycle and post PCT)
    9. Liver values
    10. Kidney values
    11. Lipid profile
    12. Hematocrit and RBC
    13. Blood pressure
    t3/t4

    Let me know how I can convince them I am not taking aas. Hmm, it would be easy if I told them limp dick, to get test levels but not for sure about the rest. Are the rest of the checks, extra or combined in a regular blood check.

    Also, if you know a website where I can look for blood test sites here in Germany. Need to find a test center that will keep my test confidential. I live near Frankfurt, DE. Let me know if you can help.
