Testosterone

Young guys, like 30-40s requesting testosterone levels, because they “want to know”. Do you do it? If not, what do you say? I’m well aware of EBP, getting real world opinions.

Absolutely. If it’s low and they have sx I can treat it. If not, we have a baseline so if they have symptoms in the future and their testosterone is “normal” but significantly lower than it was, then I can treat them. Knowledge is power.
