I am not sure which test-s to have done from some of the issues I have. My libido is pretty much gone and I am not sure what has happened. I am stressed a lot but have been stressed in the past with work so ?
Started Cialis couple yrs ago and although it helps w being and staying hard nothing to do with my lack of wanting sex,sometimes lose feeling in a way? Never had this before. Sometimes wanting it couple x's a day. My symptoms are mostly.

Tired little to no energy most every day,hard time remembering at times, lack of libido-desire, etc.
I am 48 ,now about 20 lbs overweight w a gut bigger than I ever had, do not smoke and drink 2 x a week not too much and do not eat right so I know I need to work on some things. I appreciate any advice on what tests may help siliva-blood and who maybe best option. Thanks

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.
