    What do they test for during normal blood work

    Im going for a physical on tuesday. My question is, what is tested during routine bloodwork. How should i go about getting my cholesterol, liver, test checked.. Should I even bother asking, or should i just asked to be reffered to a endo. If u he doesnt refer me to an endo, i really wanna have me test level's checked, how much would a visit to to the endo and bloodwork cost in Ny?

    physical for work, or just routine ckup?

    if you're cool with your doc, he'll do it. My doc know I use, and he always tests me post cycle, no probs (except the speech he has to give me everytime)

    if not, it's pretty expensive to get test levels cked. I think there's a website that'll help you out. someone here will know it

    General blood work would include urea, creatinine, sodium and potassium (to check your kidney function). Bilirubin, gamma GT, ALT, AST, alk phos(to check your liver function) and cholesterol levels too. Maybe a full blood count as well. I wouldnt think it would include a test level check for just a general screen bro

    Ive just been for mine, I had to ask them to check my test levels as on a normal blood test they dont bother with that.

    it doesn't really matter if you like him, it matters if he'll do it for you.

    just telll him you've been feeling lethargic, and no sex drive (or some bs like that) and wondering if your test levels are low

    Just tell him the truth, its better to have it on your personal file in case of any problems in the future.

    At the end of the day its your body, your decision.
