    Type of BW to ask for

    So if I want my primary care provider to submit me for BW and I want the one that checks everything possible is there a name for this type I need to ask for?

    I guess my point is I have seen a few types of BW now and it seems some test for certain things but few test for everything we really need to keep tabs on; on TRT. So there must be a name for this comprehensive test to ask for right??

    PSA baseline and Complete full Male Hormone panel as mentioned above....
    also make sure they take both: Total Testosterone and Free Testosterone since some docs do not do both and both really help the guys here give input....also a full Thyroid panel which would include TSH and T-3 and T-4 which again, some docs only do the TSH and ignore the 3 and 4....
