What type of Tests are needed under Hypo and Gyno ?

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

First, Thanks for all these valuable inputs. It is real life scenario and is

very helpful.

I have been night owl all my life with last 3 years with constant travelling and

related stress + food deprivation ( I am vegetarian.) . This has caused me

Hypogonadism which was detected last summer i.e. April 2008. I was prescribed

Testim which caused me wild mood fluctuation and the second mistake I made was :

Getting Androfil ( equivalent of Testim - theoritically !!) from India ( to save

money - I have no insurance ) , which after 1 month caused me Gynacomastia. I do

have lack of mental clarity at times and it has cost me my six figure job. After

going through agony of Low T and Gyno, I decided to go for Tribulus and Proper

Diet, Exercise, Enough Sleep etc. I have got back my morning wood since I opted

for this natural way to boost T. However, being vegetarian, my options are

limited for Diet Choices to increase the T naturally.

However, clear picture should emerge once I have next Blood Tests.

My Blood Reports are as mentioned so far :

Hormone April-2008 Oct.2008 Feb.2009

T 278 297 260 and Free T at 1.21

LH 3.9 3.75 5.9

FSH 1.3 1.01 1.39

TSH - - 0.97

Prolactin 11.1 - 8.0

PSA 0.5 - 0.557

Thyro

-Globulin Ant - - 46

Thyroid

-Peroxidas - - 6

ACTH Plasma - - 24.1

I don't know why, but my EndoDoc didn't ordered E2 Test in Feb.09, eventhough I

told him that I have now the symptom of Gyno. Although, the symptom of Gyno is

there, it is not worsening once I stopped that crappy Androfil gel.

I have my scheduled Blood Tests Tomorrow.

From the actual real life experience , Pl. let me know which tests should I go

for . Also, has anyone tried to go natural way to increase the T i.e. Tribulus,

Good Diet, Exericse, Enough Sleep etc. I know going natural can't elevate T to

the level which can be achieved by T Injection. However, The side effect -

specially the last few posts has mentioned i.e. the shrinkage of Penis -

scenario is holding me back to go on Full TRT.

Any / All Help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Regards,
