For average person gels would be the first approach. 4 pumps of androgel 1.62% applied once daily in the morning after shower. LEvels should be measure with in 7-10 days after application e2, TT, DHT, SHBG should be checked. A good Dr also looks into other factors such as thyroid and adrenals which will help to complement HRT when commenced. A good Dr should examine what factors could be impacting your levels such as lifestyle, nutrition, and sleep hygiene. There are few who look at the total pics. As in many cases, I have worked on medical professionals think just giving to is going to resolve symptoms. Think again even with guys on HRT still have issues even with proper hormones levels. Dr's will throw their hands up in the air and prescribe anti-depressant. Go from one bandaid to another great mentality because they do not look into things deeper. Goto dr get androgel come see me in 3 months. Come back 3 months later worse then you were before. This is the typical response I hear about.
Androgel is way super expensive without a prescription..... about $180 a tube,,,, I go through four a month,,, luckily covered by insurance,,,, buying insurance would be cheaper than buying androgel alone
