See a licensed doctor or endocrinologist, not Reddit
Get a proper medical evaluation for symptoms and causes
Ask for two separate early-morning total testosterone tests
Ask for free testosterone, SHBG, LH, FSH, prolactin, estradiol, CBC, CMP, TSH
Be honest about symptoms, medications, sleep, diet, stress, and substance use
Bring a list of symptoms and how long they have been happening
Ask whether low testosterone is confirmed and what is causing it
Ask about fertility risks before considering TRT
Ask about lifestyle, sleep apnea, nutrition, and training factors first
Do not try to fake symptoms or manipulate lab results
Do not use online clinics or self-prescribe without medical supervision
If one doctor dismisses you, seek a second opinion from a qualified specialist
If you have severe symptoms, testicular pain, delayed puberty, or very low labs, see an endocrinologist promptly
