IMO, wanting a second test is not a good reason to kick her to the curb.

What is her treatment plan? Does it include hCG?

[jbow]

She didn't offer any kind of treatment plan.

Confirming first test results is sound medicine. But waiting 30 days to do it, IMO, is not. Meanwhile, you're the one who is waiting and feeling shitty in the meantime.

You can't cure low T through diet. Period. It helps but it won't "cure" it - because there is no cure. There is only treatment.

A lot depends on how the patient presents to the doctor. If the patient was over 50 years of age, a doctor might think differently.

But if a patient is only 30 or so, a doctor might want to wait in case the patient was exposed to something that tanked their levels temporarily.

Another way to look at it is how much Testosterone does a male make daily? And how long would it take for levels to raise an appreciable amount?

Look again at his original levels. Re-checking immediately, IMO, would be in order - no matter what his age. We have to be realistic; at 156 TT, it's highly unlikely that outside influences and/or lifestyle changes would have much of an impact in "tanking" ANYONE'S levels down that far from a more "normal" range.

I agree. If there are no extenuating circumstances nothing changes by itself in 30 days. I would be asking what type of treatment this Dr is contemplating otherwise you waste the additional 30 days plus the time on you spend on a less than ideal protocol. Find another Dr starting now.
