How do I get my testosorne checked?

Do I just call the clinic and tell them I want it checked?  Do I need to get an appointment with my doc?  I need the 411, as I wouldn't be surprised if it is low.

 

ETA:  Do I got to a specialist for this?

All you need is a blood test and you probably should go to the doc.

A blood test -- are you due for any other blood work -- you can get it all done at once.

I go in at least once a year and have my Cholesterol, Vit A, B's, D, Iron, Ferritin, Intact PTH, Calcium, etc all tested.

 

You could go in for regular blood work and ask that they include testosterone.

I go to a Compounding Pharmacy to get a bio-identical hormone (due to menopause).

My PCP did blood work -- then  I met with the pharmacist to go over a lengthy history, and they made a special formula just for me -- it inlcudes estrogen, estradoil, progesterone and testostorone.

 

If you are found to be deficient, they may direct you to a compounding pharmacy for a similar work up --- my chemist does men and women's formulations.

But -- first step is to get the bloodwork to find out where your levels are now.

What the hell is "testosorne," you goober?  kiss

 

Go to your regular doc and tell him you think you might have low testosterone. They'll remove your penis and testicles to check and then glue them back on. No big whoop.

Maybe your "testosorne" issue is related to that pregnant wife, too, Brock.  But if you need to have it checked, it is a simple blood test.  And I give you credit for being man enough to be willing to ask the question.
