Calm down Xerxes...take a deep breath and relax.  You're not losing the battle for your life.  You just don't feel great because your TRT protocol isn't dialed in yet.  You need an experienced Doctor that understands modern TRT protocols, and does this for a living...not some urologist that does it as a hobby, and can't even order the correct E2 lab work to be performed.  You'll find those Doctors at Defy Medical. 


Even if you don't want to change Doctors at this time, at least get a consultation from Dr. Saya or Dr. Crisler on the phone.  They can review your medical/TRT history, lab work, and actually listen to what's going on with you.  They can give you advice, and a protocol that you can take back to your own Doctor to implement.  Trust me, it will be money well spent.

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.
