Bloodwork help

Typical reaction by a doctor if a little L(low) or H(high) they disregard it but that is a bad approach. I always ask is the start of the test going up or down and will be worse? They always say I don't know and I ask can we retest in a few weeks to see? Never had a doc say no.
Read what each item is and that is L or H on google and see if you are comfortable with the results. I am not OK with any anomaly unless I know why.
You total test is low and he isn't recognizing this is a problem? It is below the line for TRT - did you ask how do we remedy this as it is a simple script for testosterone.
More than anything else, how do you feel - if the low testosterone is causing lack of sex drive or ability, depression, loss of strength, injuries or long times for healing, etc. it really should be corrected.
If he / she isn't willing to prescribe TRT, I would ask to be referred to an Endo so they can investigate. Another option is just calling a hormone clinic who will dole out testosterone like smarties especially if your below the lower line which you are.
I don't know how any doctor could say this is normal - there is a big L indicating low.
 
Everything looks OK. Your testosterone is really low though. Hematocrit is fine, cholesterol isn't perfect but not in any high risk zones. I'd ask for triglycerides next time. They're pretty useful
 
What kind of gear do you use? Only thing I'd add would be liver incase you use orals, but your cholesterol makes me think you don't or not to excessively anyway. Also psa is smart to watch for prostate issues with test and others like mast and primo.
