Blood testing

[UNCtarheels]

Was wanting to get a blood test just to see where I am at? Not thinking of doing any gear at this point. Where would be best place to go? and what kind of "blood panel test" should I get?

[mietek]

just any clinic can do some basic blood test

is that what i need- a basic blood test?

No, it's not a basic blood test. Please don't offer health advice when you're clearly guessing.

Most doctors will order a CMP and CBC. You would need a full hormone panel with an E2 male sensitive assay, which is NOT standard of care.

I'd recommend a lipid panel and PSA as well.

"full hormone panel with an E2 male sensitive assay" along with lipid panel and psa, that is what I should ash for when getting a test?

CBC and CMP should be standards. The hormone panel and male sensitive E2 assay will provide details about your current hormonal status. Your MD should know to what to ord r although many don't think to order the E2 sensitive assay. Lipids and PSA should be ordered for most males to check cholesterol and prostate health.
