pituitary gland — parts of the brain that signal the testicles to produce testosterone.

He's implying it's all in your mental or making your symptoms up. Find a new doctor

Regardless of the cause of low testosterone, you need TRT. The next step is a more comprehensive hormone panel checking those listed below. SHBG is critical and needed in order to move forward with a TRT protocol.

Don't expect your doctors to be educated in TRT, you need to self educate to properly vet your doctors.

• Total T
• Free T
• SHBG
• Estradiol Sensitive (E2)
• LH-Luteinizing Hormone
• FSH-Follicle stimulating hormone
• Prolactin
• Cortisol
• Ferritin
• Thyroid Panel
• CBC-complete blood count
• Comprehensive Metabolic Panel
• Lipid profile/panel

You are out to lunch on this one!

Although many endo's are clueless when it comes to treating men for low-t......if one had a TT of 185 ng/dL it would be an immediate red flag that there is dysfunction of the hpta...... whether secondary (hypogonadotropic gonadism) or primary (hypergonadotropic gonadism).

Full blood work would be done to determine whether the patients suffers from primary or secondary hypogonadism.

A TT 185 ng/dL (6.4 nmol/L) would be flagged as low from blood work that was done as it is below the low end of the reference range.

Any man with a TT that low would have very low free T......let alone suffer from low-t symptoms.

The poster stated....."I have really low T , like 185, went to Endo and he said something is wrong with my brain"

His endo was basically saying that he has secondary hypogonadism due to dysfunction at the hypothalamus/pituitary!

No endo would be that senseless to tell someone with a TT 185 ng/dL that it is psychological (thinking such)......let alone making symptoms up.
