If you are a man and diagnosed with low T, please ask for a work up before starting T therapy.
Common reasons to have low T
1. High prolactin in the blood due to pituitary tumor
2. Iron storage issue such as hemochromatosis
3. Obesity
4. Narcotic pain medication
5 pituitary tumor that is not secreting prolactin.
Treatment of above conditions will result in improvement of T level.
Also please aim for age matched mid level instead of over 800 ng/ml since it can result in significant side effects .
