Low libido after TRT

Low libido after TRT

That thread is gold, thank you! Providing me with a lot of areas to research. I'll work my way through it. I checked the clinic I got my blood test from and they do not check for these other things you mention except thyroid (how likely is it to be that?). And because of where I live (Asia)...
