    Hey mate,

    I have seen Endocrinologist recently regarding the same issue.

    You can ask your endocrinologist for two tests (which I have done recently) to find out root cause why you are having low T (mine was 2 ).

    1. Testes scan (to find out any issues with testicles , if they are smaller than usual of your age etc)

    2. Most important test (blood work) is to find out whether your testes not producing T or your Pituitary gland wont give signal to testes to produce. Pituitary is responsible for making other hormones too including T so she/will test for those hormones levels if they are producing or not.

    Your best plan atm I believe is to see Endocrinologist.

    Also, its doesn’t matter a lot if you are having low T and have to spend regular routine life for few months (advised by my specialist)

    In my case , i was prescribed Testovan gel first for the first three months but it didn’t increase my levels a lot and its a hassle to apply the gel on daily basis so I requested my specialist to give me Reandron injections. Now i am taking Reandron every four weeks and my next blood test is due just before my second injection. First blood test is done after 3 days of first injection so she can check what would be the beat dosage for me.

    My advice, pls do not hesitate to request blood tests, reports, scans and paper work from your specialist.

    Sorry English is my second language, please ask me if you have any questions related as i am in the same boat.

    Good luck
