Thank you for your replies and I’ve begun reading through the various threads here and unfortunately find the state of all of this quite depressing. I don’t yet have access to the requested labs as it was like pulling teeth to simply get them to test my thyroid, vit d, free testosterone etc.
TSH (Thyroid): 0.350 -5.0 mcUnits/ml: 0.545 tested as normal
vid D 25 hydroxy: 30 - 100 ng/L: 38.9 tested as normal
ALT/SGPT: <79 units/L: 119 (H) abnormal
Testerone Male: 280.0 - 1100.0 ng/dL: 193.2 (L)
Everything else on the lab panel I don’t understand and some examples of measurements were glucose, sodium, potassium and some tests for lyme disease and HIV etc, all which came back as “norma”.
I suppose moving forward, should I press him to refer me to a TRT Doc? I’m obviously worried about my liver and need to make sure that’s not a factor either. I’m just at a bit of a loss of what to do moving forward. Should I ask my current physician to test my blood for what’s indicated in the thread:
T - testosterone
E - estrogens in general
E1 -estrONE
E2 -estraDIol - our main interest, you can basically ignore E1, E3
E3 - esTRIol
aromatase - enzyme that converts T–>E2
aromatization - action of aromatase
AI - aromatase inhibitor, reduces/modulates T–>E2 aromatization
anastrozole - AI
etc…
?
Thank you both again for your responses.
