    What should I tell my primary care doctor about testing my thyroid? He only did TSH/reflex free T4.

    Is there a .txt or .pdf file of this? I don't know how to work with .doc.

    What should I tell my primary care doctor about testing my thyroid? He only did TSH/reflex free T4.

    Does 'protocol' mean my intention for wanting TRT, or is it how the procedure is followed through? I'm on TRT so that I can be competent at anything and be able to work. I'm too depressed to do anything that takes effort unless I'm on an amphetamine. I'm receiving 200mg injections a week of...

    How should I ask my doctor to retest with these? He is prideful and usually shoots down whatever I try to educate him on. I don't think he purposefully chose not to test the others, he's just ignorant.

    Is there a cream or gel that's made for removing pubic hair?

    Should I use a blade with one or two razors instead of a five blade?

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
