20 yo on TRT. Gyno or just sensitive nipples?

CoastWatcher has provided good advice. NOT getting the right help can be very costly and wasteful and then you're still not feeling right. Bad treatment could also get you tied to an expensive and life-long protocol which doesn't really help you.
 
I will do my best to get this treated. And I will look into Defy Medical, but I'm just afraid of the cost. I am a full time student and part time employee who can just afford to pay rent and food. Thank you all for the advice. It's hard keeping my head high when this bogs me down so much, but I know thinking negatively surely doesn't help.
 
It's a cost commitment on top of a life-long (to receive the benefits of therapy), I switched to Defy because they have the hands-down best out-of-pocket costs and with the insurance that I do have it covers my labs 100% but ya, the costs can be a huge factor.

Where do you live?
 
Good point is you can get your insurance to cover your blood work and save some $$$ defy and primebody are highly recommended for good reason. I would also follow up on the Forum and post blood work to get feedback that's a friendly community just trying to help each other out imho
 
Ok, friends. After much thought and consideration, I've decided to just take action through male specific specialists such as PrimeBody. I will also be consulting with several male horomone replacemnt therapy companies surrounding me. I'm done dealing with endos and uros that tell my I'm perfectly fine and that it's all in my head. If you have any recommendations of these kinds of facilities in the Austin, Texas area that are suitable, I would love to know of them. Thank you for all of your help. This forum has been of more help than the past 5 doctors I've seen regarding my condition.
 
You're making the right, overall decision. One general bit of advice: if a clinic won't answer, or doesn't clearly answer, your question, walk away from them.
