question from a user
I took a full blood test because i was feeling low motivation, really low libido and drastic weight loss. However, my endocrinologist said everything looks in the normal ranges, and advised me to work on my stress instead. It’s been 3 months now and nothing really changed. Should I invest in a new doctor?

It never hurts to get a second opinion. If they're not interested in pursuing the source of those symptoms then it doesn't seem like they have the same priorities as you. If could be hypogonadal or it could be something else, but they should certainly care. If you do suffer from a large amount of stress and shared that, then they might be giving legitimate advice, but again, a second opinion never hurts because providers are just people.
