Yes, higher red blood cell count can and does exist, but you already provided your solution. Just donate blood and ALL of that is fine, plain and simple, it's a fact. I donate approx. every 6 weeks! I only regret not doing it sooner, as I have an issue with high ferritin levels, which caused me problems in my younger years. Donating back then could have probably spared me those issues.
The best thing that endo can do for the sake of truth in medicine is to indeed retire!! Yeah, let's get the patient controlled at/around the 400ng/dl level!! LOL! We get guys on here starting TRT when they get down to 400ng/dl.
Here's the thing, each of these dill rod endos seems to have a different story. I had one that swore the number was 600ng/dl, and anything over that would cause death! Yours says 400ng/dl!! They all have their own little opinionated statement about this stuff; NONE of it supported in the real medical world. Again, it's their opinions, they can't even come together collectively with agreeing on the same story.
Guys like this are why the HRT clinics have risen and risen strong. The modern day endo reminds me of the how people acted during the Salem witch trials. When you don't have facts, and can't represent the truth, then all that is left is ignorance!
