Newbie, TRT

[elija]

Hey guys,

I'm 37, 6-1, 95kg I got my results back today for my testosterone test 317ng/dl
The Doc said it was low but still in the normal range and left it at that.
From some of the research iv'e done that doesn't seem very good :/ and i want to take it futher which brought me to this site.
Iv'e been feeling like crap, sexual problems, feeling down and just lost the zest for life.
Any advice would be welcomed.
Cheers from Aust

find a different doctor

same thing happened to me a couple of years ago. i was at the very bottom of the "normal" range so doctor wouldnt do anything. so I went elsewhere

OK thanks,

Should i just be straight up and say this is my blood work result can you put me on TRT? or should i go the route of telling my new Doc the symptoms and see where it leads. Did you find being direct was the best way to go?

E,

You gotta do this right considering its a lifetime treatment. Start from the beginning and don't play doctor, go find a good one that has experience in this field. Far too many think TRT is something you can do for the short term and it's a fix all, it's not. If you have a legitimate problem it's worth it's weight in hold but if not, chances are you will screw yourself up good for a long time by just jumping on.
Find the "root" of the problem and then act accordingly, good luck!

You might want to find a TRT clinic like LowT.com. This is all the deal with. Some are good some are bad. I love mine because it's super easy, I can shoot them an email and I get a response within an hour or two with any questions answered, I can go to the clinic whenever I need, they take care of all physicals and bloodwork etc. It's been a life changer for me. My numbers were in the low normal but for my age considered REALLY low. Good luck with everything.

Find another Dr but always be up front and honest. Your Dr is going to be your partner in this thing, you just need to find one knowledgeable in this field.

Thanks guys,

I'm starting my search for a new Doc on Monday, iv'e been doing a lot of research so I have a decent understanding of how it works and the risks involved, but I just hope I find a Doc that is reasonable haha.. I'm placed in the low T normal range, so i just hope the Doc can treat my symtoms rather then being so dogmatic about what is deemed (normal).

The Drs that are knowledgeable in this field know that even though you may be " in range" it is still not ideal. Good luck.
