[QUOTE="sammmy, post: 265459, member: 38594"] There is no indication so far that your lack of sexual penis sensitivity is hormonal: your free testosterone is low normal and it has to be much lower than that to cause sexual problems. Your high SHBG is of no consequence because your total testosterone is also high and compensates. The tests that I suggested are cheap (one of them costs about $10 to the health insurance), basic, and routine and you should request them from your doctor. If you pay a health insurance every month, you are entitled to basic testing in the absence of diagnosis. You should advocate more for yourself and argue with doctors or what's the point of paying health insurance and paying a doctor for consultation if they don't give you basic testing and you have to pay everything out of pocket? I regularly tell my doctors what tests I want. If that doesn't fly, then I go to another doctor or pay out of pocket. However, a doctor that refuses basic common sense testing will get fired immediately by me. Doctors are gatekeepers to testing and prescriptions and they are often more aligned with the interests of the health insurance i.e. to save money. Your interest is to improve your health which is something entirely different, so you will have to argue with them to get what you want. [/QUOTE]
