Hi, any input would be greatly appreciated. Currently experiencing many typical symptoms of Hypogonadism and have been for over a year. Originally sought help in Dec 2016 and displayed low free Testosterone, Endo basically said they don't treat using free testosterone and it was fine, long story short i was eventually prescribed an anti-depressant. I am 29 years old.

To many blood tests to list them all so i will list the ones i think are most important, please let me know if you want to see others.

I have an appointment in a few days with a renowned TRT specialist in Australia on Friday and would like some input before then.

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.
