Doctor wants to test cortisol, thyroid and test levels

[Checkmate7]

I went to an endocrinologist, he stated that he will consider test treatment,but first I have to discontinue my use of dhea for 1 week ,before doing blood work. He also asked me whether I was interested in test for energy reasons or sexual reasons,I found that odd,as I consider the two topics inter related, cause test effects energy levels in men

I doubt your experience will be a good one, too many red flags. I'm comfortable with saying this endo is out to lunch.

Probably 200 mg every 2 weeks.

Wow,thanks I appreciate it. And question why as an Endo he did not order test for my other hormones, like growth, dht, insulin. I mean I went to him for lack of energy and abnormal liver enzymes blood work results. Though I was also interested in hrt

You have a strong case for a low-T diagnosis when E2, DHT, and Free T are low regardless of the Total T value.

The blood work he ordered does not include e2. One thing I want to add, is that he asked me to drop my pants,then quickly touched my genitals,then said to pull my my pants up. I assumed it was routine ,but found it strange he did not remark on what he was checking for,though I should have asked in hindsight
