So does my doctor know what hes talking about?

[irishdeckhelp]

For a few years I have suspected low t but never done anything about it.I am 24 right now.very Weak erections,no morning wood.Very little sex drive.Big mood swings between depressed and extremely irritable and angry.Sub par results from working out regularly(I am at a normal bodyweight I should add).I also have periods for months at a time where my armpits sweat purfusely but this seems to come and go.I have quite alot of trouble getting to sleep,waking during sleep and not feeling rested after waking and suffer from anxiety at times.I also sometimes have itchy nipples,I am not sure if that could be related?


So I am in Ireland so i dont have many choices in terms of those who claim to specialize in detecting testosterone deficiency.I have found a place that claims this and they have requested blood tests for the following.I am wondering if what they have requested is a good indicator that they know what they are doing?Is there anything missing?Thanks guys

Get LH, FSH, Total Testosterone, Free Testosterone, Estradiol, Vitamin D, TSH, CBC, CMP, Lipids and Prolactin.

SHBG is fine but not normally necessary.

Make sure you go first thing in the morning (e.g. 8:00 am) after a good nights sleep. And make sure your diet is good.

So it seems what I am missing from what has been requested already is LH,FSH,Free testesorone and prolactin.I believe they arent included in any of the things already requested I could be wrong though.Vitamin D i wont worry about,i have been tested before and I am fine,i actually supplement it consistently.They just gave me a print out to bring to the local hospital to get the blood tests before hand,its just a regular word document so I will just add in the extra things myself
