    need help guys asap

    Hey guys. I'm 19 and think I've got low t. Always tired, no sex drive (can't even get hard with naked girlfriend in bed) etc. Went to doc and he said at my age no need for bloodwork to be done... what do you guys suggest? This is ridiculous and embarrassing at 19 can't even get a hard on for my girl. ****ing sucks mates

    Send me a picture of your girlfriend and I will see if I can help you out.

    Agreed, find another doctor. No blood work needed? Is he God or physic? Either way he is a quack.

    BlackinBlack, you knew I was going to say that didnt you? lol

    ^^^ I saw it coming! Lol...

    But yes if you do indeed have lowT and w/BW you've ruled all other possibilities out... Then definitely find a new Doc! You will see that some(most aren't even quslified to answer your ?'s... I went to a Dr and was asking ?'s to see if he knew what he was talkin about; I ended up being more knowledgable in this area(so try finding an Endo or Urologist) but an Enfocrinologist is more specialized in hormones!!! IMHO I'd go w/an Endo!

    Can't do anything without blood work. Once you find a good doc, and if your T is in fact low, trt should be your absolute last resort at your age. You'll want a doc who is interested in running whatever tests are needed to find the source of your low T and try to restart your natural test long before starting with trt. Not saying trt at your age should never happen, but it should only be after exhausting all other efforts. Also keep in mind you may not even have low T, many other factors could cause similar symptoms (thyroid for one). Full blood work will start to point you in the right direction.

    IIRC, bioavailable includes Testosterone that is loosely bound to albumin.
