What level do physicians aim for, and which, free or total T?
I may receive TRT based on my total T, not my free T or bio T, since my doc says they are within normal range, but I have symptoms. So in this case:
Which would a physician aim for in my situation, a total T level or free/bioavailable T level?
And what levels do physicians aim for? I'd like to have an idea of what are high levels for physicians to aim for, and low levels. A typical physician is probably more hesitant, while TRT specialists would probably aim for higher levels, is this right?
If the T level my physician aims for is too low, would it be a good idea to switch to a different physician that will aim for a higher level?
I am 23 if that helps, my physician said TRT is rarely prescribed for someone my age, so reactions may vary as compared with someone who is 50 or whatever. I take my T level pretty seriously, so I want to get the best deal. I have testicular issues, for those who say it's not a good idea for a 23 year old to go on TRT.
