Hey guys,
I dont know much about HRT. I told my Dad I would ask you guys to get some input about his lab results.
He's 55 years old:
Testosterone: 298
Testosterone, Free: 7
% Free Testosterone: 2.35
Now, I know anything under 300 is pretty damn low. I told him that before he went in to get tested. 2 years ago he went in and it was at 471... So hes dropped over 170 in a couple years. He just a normal guy, has never used anything, owned a construction company all his life until he messed up a couple disks in his back and now has a desk job.
My dad knows of my past use, so I've tried to educated him as much as possible. Hes very interested in getting a prescription.
What should he do from here? His doc told him 298 is a "normal" low. My dad didn't buy it though and told him he wanted to do something about this. He also mentioned gel, but I told my dad to stay away from that crap as well, and he told his doc he wasn't interested. He's going in again so we need to know what my dad should say.
Your guys' input would be awesome since I know so many of you have been in his shoes. Thanks in advance!
