question from a user
How do I go about getting my testosterone levels tested do I just got thru my main Dr and if they come back low do I have to go thru my Dr or could I take those results to any clinic I want?
AlphaMD's Answer
The typical first step is to schedule an appointment with your doctor to have blood work. Mention your symptoms and that you would like your testosterone tested.Once resulted, your doctor will review them with you and discuss whether or not they would agree with treatment, or refer you to a specialist. A primary doctor should be entirely capable of treating hypogonadism, but as you may discover YMMV.
