I accidentally posted in Entourage Medical, so this is a synopsis and update.
original post:
Hello, i have an appointment at a VA endo tomorrow. My TT and was the only thing tested so far (at 400 ng/dl). I dont want to be fed the line "400 is normal, you are good". Im 29 years, old and i display nearly all of the low t symptoms. I convinced my Dr to send me to the endo with some research that showed young men can display hypogonadal symptoms at 400 ng/dl.
I want to go in there as prepared as possible with real legitimate research/studies that could help me. Please contribute anything you think may help, and in addition im looking for a real and reputable source that shows 600 ng/dl is average for 29 years. I know everybody reacts differently and 400 COULD be good for somebody, im pretty sure its not for me.
Thanks!
Update:
The VA endo said its perfectly normal, but ordered a more accurate TT and FT, also fsh, lh, prolactin, estradiol, and i think thyroid tests. I know theres more than just those, i dont remember all she said. Bloods are tomorrow, the endo said it will take a week + for the results to get in. ill post updates when i get them.
