I had an appointment with my endocrinologist today. He is sending me back to redo the labs, because they were done at 11am. He said they must be done between 8-9am. I can't imagine the 2-3 hours would have that much effect, to bring the total test to 90. He also added a lot of new labs, IGF-1 (to follow up on the low GH), DHEA, FSH, Luteinizing Hormone, Prolactin, Sex Hormone Binding Globulin, Free test, Free t4 and TSH.
His initial thoughts were that the DHEA supplement that I took for 2 weeks is what is causing the issue. I quit taking it like a month and a half ago though. It did cause some tenderness in my left nipple, and definitely feel a small growth growing underneath. I asked him if could prescribe me some sort of anti-estrogen to stop the gyno, and he said it wouldn't do anything because my Estrogen is non-existent.
Is there anything else that would cause Gyno, other than Estrogen? I ordered some Tamoxifen just to be safe...
I let him know that I've suffered a couple of bad concussions that knocked me unconscious. He didn't think that it had anything to do with it. He said usually it only happens when someone has severe head trauma and was on life support.
Not sure what to do at this point. The HRT clinic already prescribed test, so I'm not sure if I should get started on that, or wait it out with the Endo. I'm not sure if there are other tests he will need to run, that would require me to not take TRT just yet.
I saw a HRT clinic because my endo appointment wasn't supposed to be for another month, but they had a cancellation and I was able to get in early.
