Total and free testosterone
LH
FSH
Lipid panel
Prolactin
TSH, t3, t4, rt3, thyroid antibodies
DHT
DHEA
SHBG
PSA

These are the essential tests that would be ordered in a pre-TRT workup. They will cover you for erectile issues as well. You should also be sure there is no structural issue contributing to your problems. That may well mean a referral to a urologist.

Also please guid is there any supplement available carrying combination of ZN , Vitamin D and Iodine , in quantity required by adults over 40 ? i want to have them in one rather then having three different pills

Please make note - you should add Vitamin D to your blood test list. I failed to mention that. It's important (particularly living in a cold-weather country as you do).

Are you sure you're deficient in those three?

May I ask, have you ever had an extended discussion with your doctor about this, or is this an initial conversation? I certainly hope it goes well for you.

I thought this was an interesting test, I had about 7 months ago through Cleveland Heart Clinic, they tested my nitric oxide. I don't have my labs in front of me but it came back in the normal range.

1- i am living in Canada for one and half year now , i dont know if i am deficient or not but i read it that these three items are good for good erection .so thought i should be having prescribed dose daily .surely iwill add vitamin D in tests . could you please tell me the name of test .
2- i discussed with doctor( my GP here) and asked him to send me to a urologist , while he says if you are good with VG( which i am ) urologist will also say its not physical and psychological and he will do the same treatment . i am now changing doctor for this and want to take these tests to some urologist .i need to know where the show is pinching . though i know i am low at T level
